"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
The Short North Homes for sale/sold 2007 Recap
January 17th, 2008 categories: Short North
2007 wasn’t a bad year for the greater Short North real estate market. 301 Short North area properties sold last year. Of those, 72 were single family homes averaging:
- $153/sf
- 90 days on market
- 97% of the last list price
Most of these were in Victorian Village (33 homes @$161/sf), some were in Italian Village and some were in Harrison West.
If you did the math, you’ve figured out that 229 Condominiums sold in the Greater Short North Area. Kind of a lot, huh? Now, let’s dismantle that number a little bit. Let’s take out the Harrison Park project because those single family, unattached home are listed condos. All told, single family and condos alike at Harrison Park, 76 units sold last year (39 condos @$200/sf & 37 homes @$160/sf or $423,068.)
Now we’re left with 153 condos that sold in the Short North-Italian Village area. Just for fun, let’s take out the Dakota condos that sold last year – 32 condos with an average sales price of $357,357(!) or $265.16/sf and $294,328 on 29 of the 32 IF you exclude the three 5th floor units that went for top dollar.
If you’re still here, we’ve got 121 condos left that sold in the Short North last year. These were all over the board from Victorian Village to Italian Village, from the Yukon to the Mona Lisa and Victorian Gate to the Courtyards at Harrison West. These homes averaged:
- $154.91/sf
- 117 days on market
- 98.7% of the last list price
Aside from the extra month on the market, remarkably similar to the homes that sold in and around the Short North last year. Now for the disclaimer on all these numbers——I wouldn’t take them to heart too much because of the potential for square foot discrepancies in many of these. The days on market don’t include any previous attempts to sell the home and the % of list price doesn’t reflect what the home started at on the market. With so many row-houses, 1/2 doubles and newly converted condos, the square feet aren’t always accurately noted and some times not noted at all, making a price/sq ft analysis difficult in such a large general area.
IF you are looking for a home or condo for sale in the Short North, Italian Village or Harrison West area, call me and I’ll do all I can to make it as easy and fun as possible.
