Home searching isn’t just for buyers, it’s for sellers too. No one wants to put their home on the market with absolutely no idea of what their home would sell for. That’s why Sellers watch the market too. It’s vital!

If you are considering purchasing or selling a home in the coming year, the first thing you might want to do—even before you’re calling me to be your Realtor—is to look at homes that are for sale in your Columbus Neighborhood of choice.

The more you look, the more you learn about the mini-real-estate-markets you’re interested in. You begin to get an idea of what an extra $20,000 (about $110/month more) might get you in regard to square feet or location. You begin to see the price difference between the 3 bedroom Clintonville Homes and the 4 Bedroom Clintonville homes. You understand how valuable two full baths really are in Grandview.

The best way to search is to contact me and ask me to set up a home search web site for you. It’ll only produce homes that meet your specific criteria that are active on the market. Nothing else. In one place at one time. It’s the way to go.

But, if you’re still casually looking and maybe you aren’t yet sure about exactly what your search criteria are, you might like Dwellicious. In December I beta-tested the site and it went live in January of this year. It’s a great way to share homes you run acroos with your husband, wife, life partner, fiancee, kids, parents, whomever.

The best part is that it works on many of the most popular home search sites — Realtor.com, Trulia, Coldwellbanker.com, etc, etc. Soon, I hope it will work on DeliciousRealEstate.com, but for now, they’re working on it.
