or is the glass half empty… or worse?

Sorry to use such a trite, yet catchy phrase… I meant to use a photo of a glass of water but all I had here was milk…

What is the reality of real estate in Central Ohio?

The Columbus Board of Realtors has a program called The Grass is Greener Here. That “Here” being Columbus Ohio.

The url is http://www.columbushousingfacts.com/

The Columbus Dispatch has a three part series about mortgages, Central Ohio home values called “BORROWED TIME A Dispatch Investigation” includes today’s front page story “Mortgage Meltdown” and more… including “suburbs share in suffering” and even more online…

Is “The Grass is Greener Here” just local “Realtor rah rah?”

“In 2007 alone, more than 24,000 homes sold in central Ohio.”

and

“Affordable. Stable. Available.”

Is “MORTGAGE MELTDOWN” just the kind of bad news that sells papers (I’m not saying it is NOT true… )?

“Think you’re unaffected? Think again”

My world is in Columbus Ohio… My world is in the northern outer-belt.  My world is centered on the Worthington area.

Downtown Columbus is a great place to visit for me.  Most years I go to Downtown Columbus for Red, White and Boom, the Columbus Arts Festival, sometimes the Latino Festival, or the Jazz and Ribs Festival.  I have been to almost every First Night Columbus (I think I missed the second one… and I can’t remember this past year…. did we NOT go?) Driving down for plays at Schiller Park has been a summer tradition.

With gas nearing 4 dollars a gallon, will I stay closer to home?

I live north of 270.  My office is in Worthington. I spend most of my life in Worthington, Westerville, Powell, Lewis Center areas along with the north side of Columbus, in neighborhoods like Clintonville, the Bethel Road area, and the Northland area.
