"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, March 08
"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, Feb 08
Grandview, Grandview, where for art thou Grandview?
November 13th, 2007 categories: Grandview, Real Estate News
I love Grandview and I love helping clients buy and sell homes in Grandview and Marble Cliff and those zig zaggy parts of Columbus that most people assume are Grandview. The truth is though, that this entire year I’ve not had one single buyer actively looking in Grandview and I have not one listing there at the moment. So, you see, it kind of falls off my radar screen from time to time and I don’t have lots and lots of stocked up photos of Grandview homes because I’m not around as much as I’d like to be.
So, Because I’ve all but ignored poor Grandview and it’s homes for sale, here is the October update for Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff followed tomorrow by a quick year-long analysis of the Grandview market right here on the front page.
Of the Five homes that sold last month in Grandview, Three of them were Condominiums. The two single family homes were the 1400 sq ft grey shingle two story on First avenue with the owner that had been there for 50 years. It sold after 404 days for $195,000. Yeah, it needed updating.
Just down the street, at 1339 west First Avenue, a 1284 square foot 3 bedroom bath and a half sold for $202,500 after about three months. Not a lot to write home about last month in the way of Sold Grandview Homes.
Two Cotswold Condominiums sold last month, both for $219,900, both 2 bed, 2 bath 1475 sq ft. I like Prescott Place for a location and think the floor plans shook out pretty well in these condos. I’d like them to be a little closer to the action but also enjoy the Marble Cliff setting.
Then there was one sale in Prescott Place. I don’t know who is buying these “luxury” condos at $251 square foot or why, but buyers seem to be snatching them up. We’re talking about a 2 bedroom condo for $686,372 and it’s attached to its neighboring condos townhome style. You could buy three Rich Street Walk condos for that, still have your 2 car garage and walk to a hockey game. I know, I know, Ron Pizzuti, quality finishes and such.

$219,000 for a Prescott Place is LOW… I would have bought 4 at that price… think that was a typo…..
and, if you bought 3 Rich Street Walk condos and put them together you would have a 6 car garage and it is a stretch to walk to a hockey game, or be close to anything downtown from there! But they are cool places!

Yeah, good catch. Looks like I mixed up COTSWOLD CONDOMINIUMS with Prescott - quite a difference.
