Realtor.com currently thinks Clintonville is a village in Summit County…   The neighborhood map indicate a large area on the north-side of Columbus in Franklin County that kinda sorta looks like the Clintonville Beechwold area, but the description from Wikipedia is for a village in the Akron area.

Clintonville Neighborhood    someone will fix that wrong county thing at some point.

Today what does Realtor.com say the average price is for homes in Clintonville?

“Average Home Price $213,950

Average Rental Price $381

Homes for Sale 246

We have an MLS area (multiple listing service of the Columbus Board of Realtors…) that contains, Clintonville, Beechwold and a number of other smaller neighborhoods. 

Delawanda, Salem Village, Tremont Gardens,  Worthington Forest Condos,  Northview Estates all seem to be included in the listings …as Clintonville  But not  the homes in Chaseland…. or at least their map shows at least Chase Rd. not included but the map shows area north of Morse Rd.  as Clintonville.

Within Clintonville there are neighborhoods too…

Looking at that total MLS area on Wednesday morning there were 247 listings.  That is amazingly close to the number on the Realtor.com Neighborhood page for Clintonville.  The average price of those 247 homes is $215,172  Today

Not bad…

246 homes today - $213,950

247 homes today - $215,172 

Remember those homes are residential properties (at least the 247 are, looks like the 246 must be too.) It is single family homes and condominiums averaged together.  Don’t expect to find the single family homes in Clintonville averaging $215,172.  There are not a lot of condos in Clintonville though… not like some Columbus neighborhoods.

The average price is also off  because of the area Realtor.com is calling Clintonville.   In addition to  lumping Beechwold into Clintonville… R.com is  using all the neighborhoods in the MLS area that Clintonville is in… including Delawanda,  Salem Village, Tremont Gardens,  Worthington Forest Condos,  Northview Estates but not Chaseland….

Taking those neighborhoods out the average price of residential properties (single family and condos) is:

207 properties today at $233,109 average price

Delawanda,  Salem Village, Tremont Gardens,  Worthington Forest Condos,  Northview Estates, Chaseland Manor and Chaseland are great Clintoville area neighborhoods.  They are more affordable than Clintonville. 

Realtor.com’s new neighborhoods describes the Clintonville neighborhood as:

“About Clintonville Clinton is a village in Summit County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,337 at the 2000 census.”

Someone in Clintonville or a Realtor will straightrn it out at some point.  The source of the info is Wikipedia.  It may be accurate info about the village in Summit County.

The houses and maps are for Clintonville the neighborhood or area on the north-side of Columbus in Franklin County.  The listings are for the area on the north-side of Columbus that is known as Clintonville. 

Realtor.com’s Neighborhoods says there are 246 homes for sale. Wouldn’t that be a lot for a village with less than 1400 residents? Figuring two people average for house, nearly half the homes in the village would be for sale. 

In case you can not tell, I am not a fan of Realtor.com.  Realtor.com is NOT the National Association of Realtors, a trade organization.   Realtor.com is a vendor that the National Association of Realtors made a dumb deal with a number of years ago…

There is plenty of confusion about where the boundaries of Clintonville are… we don’t need a village in Summit County (Akron area) to make things worse. 

The Clintonville Neighborhood page on Realtor.com the map shows the neighborhood on the north side of Columbus in Franklin County.  The map covers what I would call Clintonville and Beechwold, but it is all the Clintonville area.  It looks like Realtor.com is including almost up to Chase Rd.  as Clintonville. 

Is this website including in Clintonville the Graceland area?  Delawanda?  Salem Village? Tremont Gardens? Worthington Forest Condos? Northview Estates?  But not Chaseland….

What does Realtor.com say the average price is for homes in Clintonville?

“Average Home Price$213,950

Average Rental Price $381

Homes for Sale 246″

Do you buy the Realtor.com Neighborhood numbers for Clintonville?  The rental number looks ‘crazy low’ but I am not involved with rentals.

The map at the top shows homes for sale listed as Clintonville in the Columbus Board of Realtors multiple listing service, in the post Clintonville the debate rages on… there is another map showing properties listed as Beechwold.

Beechwold

What’s Worthington?  is about the Realtor.com neighborhood page identifying the 43085 ZIP code as Worthington.

Come back… I will compare the Realtor.com Clintonville Neighborhood to reality

Do you know about NaBloPoMo?

Are any other Central Ohio blogs participating?

National Blog Posting Month is 30 posts in 30 days.  I believe I have 33 entries this month on ColumbusBestBlog.com so I can slide the rest of the month?

Nah.

The NaBloPoMo site says “Post every day for the month of November.  That’s all you have to do.” so maybe I have to keep posting.  I did not join until the 15th of November.

There’s 9 days left… you could play catch up…
