2010 - 2011 - 2012 STARK COUNTY MARKET STATISTIC ANALYSIS



Happy New Year! 

As predicted from last year, we have had a phenomenal year in the Stark County Ohio area for real estate sales.  Our home prices are up along with more sales this past year.  It seems safe to say that 2011 was the "bottom" of the market and we experiencing an upswing in the number of buyers and the value of homes in our area.  And interest rates are still at historical lows!

I've attached the local stats for you to look over the last three years.  With one exception ALL the areas have increased the number of sales from last year, the price per square foot, and the sales price.

Investment U Research's says "In case you haven't noticed ... the housing market is making a recovery."  My colleague in North Carolina has trouble finding inventory for her buyers along with agents in Fresno, California.  Multiple bid situations are a common occurrence in many markets and that includes Stark County.  Gone are the days of buyers looking at 30 and 40 homes before they make their decision.  If there is a good property on the market they are being snatched up quickly! 

Stark County is still coming back strong and we have shifted from a Buyer's Market to a Win-Win for both Buyers and Sellers.

Everyone at Marcy Klee & Associates of Keller Williams Legacy Group wish you a Happy New Year filled with good health, peace, and prosperity!  Remember, There Is Never A Bad Time To Buy Good Real Estate!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Have you read the headlines?  Finally, after the past few years, we are seeing improvement locally. 

The front page news throughout the US have announced that the US economy will enter "2012" on a roll, with the job market in recovery, manufacturing and retail spending up, gas prices down and the stock market posting impressive gains.

According to Forbes, if all this inter-related economic news is an indication, the housing market is poised for its happiest year in quite some time!

Check out the local stats for our area.  Although property values slipped in some school districts about 1% over 2010, many other school districts saw increases of about 1%.

Stark County is coming back strong, and more homes are being sold.  The pendulum may be shifting a bit from a buyers market to a win-win for both buyers and sellers. 

Everyone at Marcy Klee & Associates, of Keller Williams Legacy Group Realty, wish you a Happy New Year filled with good health, peace and prosperity!  Remember, There Is No Bad Time to Buy Good Real Estate!
