9 Tesla Electric Cars at the Golf Club of Dublin

by Susanne Novak on May 20, 2013

Susanne Novak (Broker of RE/MAX 24/7) with the Tesla electric car at the Golf Club of Dublin

I never saw a Tesla Electric Car before – until last Friday. And I was very impressed.

The Golf Club of Dublin at Ballantrae hosted a reception to kick-off the annual Green Energy Ohio meeting on Friday.  I am all for renewable energy, but truth be told, I came to see the Teslas.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sign in front of real estate listing

Now that we are officially in a Sellers Market – at least in the Columbus suburbs such as Dublin OH – you may be tempted to sell your home by yourself. Why would you pay a 3% real estate commission to an agent to list your house, if  you can get a contract within a few days?

For many For Sale By Owners (FSBOs) the primary motivation is “saving” money. FSBO’s simply don’t believe that a Realtor will add any value to the sale.

This is shortsighted. There are many reasons why you should NOT sell your home For Sale by Owner … [click to continue…]

Dublin Ohio Condo on Turvey Loop was in contract in just 3 days

You have heard it in the news – the Dublin Ohio real estate market is CRAZY!

Many suburban homes in highly regarded school districts are going in contract within days. Typically, condos are much harder to sell. However, in today’s sellers’ market even condos are moving at a rapid pace.

As a Seller you may be tempted to think that any Realtor® can sell your home. You may believe that experience, marketing and negotiating skills are no longer important in 2013.

Don’t fall into this trap! An experienced real estate agent is critical to negotiating the highest offer and getting you the most money for your property.

Muirfield Village Dublin Ohio sign at the entrance to this unique golf course community & home of the Memorial Tournament

It is no secret that Columbus home values have been rising during the past 12 months. A major reason for these value gains is the shrinking inventory of real estate listings. When the supply is down, prices go up.

Last week I prepared a CMA for one of my customers in Muirfield Village.

Muirfield Village is a well known golf course community in the North of Dublin Ohio. It was developed by Jack Nicklaus and is home to the annual Memorial Golf Tournament. At the beginning of October the City of Dublin will host the President’s Cup at the Muirfield Village Golf Club.

CMA is short for “comprehensive” market analysis. With a CMA I compare the values of recently sold homes and active real estate listings, to estimate the value of your home.

The results of the Muirfield CMA blew me away. I could not find a single active listing in Muirfield Village.
