Housing stats for September -- October coming soon!

In the middle of writing the below post, I realized how BORING (albeit informative) of a post it was. So, if you want the info below, awesome, but let's have more fun than just stats. :) Tonight, I'm going to a SuperHero party to celebrate the unveiling of the Justice League of Ohio's new name. Tickets are only $25 for the event being held at the Greystone Winery!! Putting the finishing touches on my costume... You have to attend to see the finished product!!! Proceeds help protect the rights of victims of crime. Well, the "seller's market" isn't so much anymore... Things can swiftly change in the industry! There are more homes currently on the market than there have been all of 2015, leaving us with more inventory/selection for buyers. The average days on market are at 44, slightly up from previous months. Buyers are eager to buy, considering interest rates are still low. Stats specific to Powell: The average sales price in Powell was over $373,000, compared to near $360,000 at this time last year. Gotta love seeing your property values increasing! Price per square foot came in at a whopping $140, with an average of 73 days on the market. Another exciting number is the #10!!! This is the average # of homes that buyers look at before buying AND the average # of years that people typically stay in their homes!

Hard work WILL pay off

Gorgeous (albeit pricey) homes that have sold in the past 6 weeks!

Reflecting

This year had been a tumultuous year, to say the least, but the one constant in my life is the support, love & understanding of my amazing family. My mother and I spent Thanksgiving with my sister, aunt & uncle in Texas, as Nicholas was with his father, and I had a lot of time both on the flight and during the days there to really reflect on the important things in life. I was actually very excited for the first time in a long time for upcoming holidays, and spending them with those that mean the most to me. Even at times when I make ridiculous decisions, and am hard to love, my family still finds the way to overlook these things (praying for me to come to my senses, I'm sure) and love me. I've had friends come and go throughout the years, and only a handful of them are still around. I guess when the going gets tough is when you really find out who your friends are, and what relationships to continue to nourish.

We're all human!!

Holy batman, it's freezing!! I'm sitting at my desk blogging, with a scarf wrapped around my neck, fuzzy slippers on my feet, sipping hot apple cider. I like winter AND snow, just not frigid temps this early in the season. Let's ease into, can we?? I've not blogged in a while, but my creative & witty juices have been flowing the past few months, so I thought I'd make another go of it. I've been debating whether or not I should blog about this, but in the end, I chose "yes". I was out showing houses a few weeks ago with a woman about my age. We were standing on the front doorstep, and I was waiting for the lockbox to open. My shoulder felt scratchy, so I reached up to itch it, and felt something that I knew wasn't a part of my bra. The sweater I had on had been tucked away neatly in storage since last winter. I peeked in, and saw... a pair of panties. Yep, that's right, a pair of undies had taken up residence in the shoulder of my sweater! Lovely, especially since my client was standing right next to me AND I'd left my purse in the car, so had nowhere to quickly stash them. I stood there with these in my hand, trying to decide what the best approach was. I chose to let her in on the fun (aka embarrassment), and we both stood, doubled over in laughter, for a few moments. I don't get embarrassed easily, but I'm pretty sure my cheeks were red for a half hour! I shoved them in my pants pocket (the only place I had), and went about my business. Just goes to show that we're all human! Happy Monday!
