"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp
MLS Numbers Unmasked - What does it all mean?
April 3rd, 2007 categories: For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, Market Updates, Real Estate News
I entered a listing into the MLS today and saw that it was number 2715344.
The 27 means it is a listing that originated in the year 2007.
The 15344 means it is the Fifteen Thousandth, three hundred and forty-fourth house that has come on the market this year. Yowza! We are up to 15,000 new listings just as April kicks off.
In contrast, the Columbus MLS from the Columbus Board of Realtors tells us that 4993 properties have sold in Central Ohio since January 1, 2007. In essence, then, for every four homes on the market, one has sold. (Though the homes that have sold are most certainly not necessarily the same one that have come on the market this year.)
