A Bank owned Clintonville Property in the 180s had this mural on the kitchen wall

I have seen a lot of houses in Clintonville this Spring/Summer.  A lot.  It has to be one of the hottest markets in Central Ohio–and I’m especially talking about the first time Clintonville Home Buyer market — under $200,000 ish. In the last month, 78 greater Clintonville homes went into contract status, 59 of them under $210,000.

Just last week there were two multiple offer scenarios on homes West of High and South of North Broadway. Now, they were priced to sell and sell they are.  A home East of high, a couple blocks West of Indianola and just north of East North Broadway came on the  market one day and went in contract the next. When I showed that home, there were two other Realtors there at the same 30 minutes or so we looked at it.

While the number of homes and time on market of the Greater Clintonville Market in General may look like a Buyer’s market, homes under $200,000 in great shape that are priced well and show well with no major problems have been flying off the shelf a la a sellers market.
