Katie answered:
Where will you be working in the Columbus area? This would be a great place to start and then check out surrounding areas/suburbs. I have lived in the Columbus area for my entire life and I may be biased, but it's a great place to live, work, and/or raise a family. A driving tour of areas would also be a good idea for a new buyer, please contact me if I can be of service!

Thinking about buying, but terrified

Katie answered:
Hi Meredith,
I posted an answer back in late May and have been watching the question ever since. I don't think it's fair that "Chicken Little" (non-realtor, just looking in the USA) can post and not reveal who they are or what their motivation is. As for the Realtors, their motivation is clear, get help. A realtor who is representing you is obligated by the license law to protect you and provide you with certain fiduciary duties.

Yes, markets are down, how much depends on the area of town you are interested in. I can provide you with the housing statistics for Clintonville (area 37). Another good resource is http://www.columbushousingfacts.com. This website is sponsored by the Columbus Board of Realtors and provides good information about the stability of the local market. You have rented for 20 years, are you planning on being in a home for at least 3-5 years? Again, our message is clear, get help from local people, Realtors and lenders. Hope this helps.

Hi Meredith,
Have no fear! Now is a great time to buy and it won't stay that way for long. I love working with first-time homebuyers and would be happy to send you some references of other first timers that I have helped. So stop building wealth for someone else and put your money to work for you! I work out of the Clintonville office of Coldwell Banker KIng Thompson. Give me a call and we can set up a consultation. Look forward to hearing from you!

Are there any lots for building in Clintonville?

Katie answered:
Hi Paul, to answer you question, yes there are a few. I know of one in the Northmoor Park area. Please contact me and I will give you the specifics. Thanks! - Sat May 31 2008, 08:23
Katie answered:
Hi AJ, there are lots of areas within this radius. One of them is the Bethel/Sawmill road area. Also, try Hilliard, depending on your needs and the type of neighborhood you want, you should be able to find something! Also, if you would like the name of a Realtor who specializes in rentals, please contact me. Thanks! - Sat May 10 2008, 12:32
Katie answered:
Lee, some larger brokerages, like Coldwell Banker King Thompson, can offer a seller a lot more exposure to their property than a smaller brokerage, especially one in which the agent must cover all of the advertising expenses. CBKT also offers a lot more internet exposure as well, and we know that most consumers are now beginning their property searches online. In our marketplace, Central Ohio, CBKT offers marketing of your property to over 250k homes 2-3 times per month. For more details on how we market homes, please contact me!
