"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 Bexley Real Estate Market has been Quiet
November 29th, 2007 categories: Bexley, Condos & Lofts
This month there has not been too much happening in our neck of the woods. I was excited to see 8 homes on the Bexley, Berwick, Eastmoor realtor Association tour this morning until I realized I had seen all but two of them already — and those weren’t really worth seeing anyway.
So far this November, […]

What really happened at the Carlyle’s Watch Auction and what does it Mean for Downtown Columbus?
November 2nd, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown
Eight buyers got pretty good deals on their downtown Columbus Condos. Not much else happened. Those eight got those deals because they were the “no reserve” units, sold to the highest bidder. The other units that have been reported sold were, in fact, not sold. At least not yet.
The other 21 condos that were […]

Is Miranova Dead?
October 19th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown
The last couple days I’ve heard a radio advertisement that advertised Miranova and mentioned that there were a handful of homes available for sale at the moment. It made me wonder how the public would perceive the ad. Would it be thought of as just a reminder of the luxurious high rise condo building that […]

Columbus Real Estate September Recap - Downtown Columbus Condos
October 11th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown, Market Updates
Downtown Columbus, unlike many suburbs, doesn’t have the seasonal school year ups and downs in buying. There isn’t as good a reason as there is in, say, Bexley for folks to buy their downtown Columbus condo and settle in just in time for the new school year.
Still, only FIVE homes were closed on in September […]

When does Your Downtown Columbus Condo Tax Abatement Begin?
October 11th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown
Surprise, It’s not the day you purchase your Columbus condo.
It’s the day the developer gets the certificate of occupancy for the entire project or a block of units in the project. The other day I wondered aloud what will happen when all the tax abatement given for the downtown condos begin to run out. […]

Is the Downtown Columbus Condo Market a Ticking Timebomb?
October 9th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown, Mortgage/Finance
Will the Downtown Columbus Condominium Market implode in the next 8–10 years? Ironically, I’m talking about tax abatements, one of Downtown Columbus’ Best Residential drawing cards which could also lead to a very messy real estate market as they begin to expire.
Think about this. A major attraction to purchasing a home downtown would be the 75 or […]

A South High Street Address that’s not in a Hotel
September 19th, 2007 categories: Condos & Lofts, Downtown
The building here, at 342 South High, has six one bedroom condominiums in it that haven’t had a whole lot of fanfare so you may not be aware of them.
They don’t have a catchy name, like the CourtRoom Condos for instance, but they do have around 1400 square feet. That’s more than 69 currently active […]
