Thinking of buying a home in Columbus’ Short North? Here are some of the homes available in Victorian Village.

This year’s tour includes an updated Park Street Condo, some fabulous homes in Victorian Village, and 11 stops all together throughout the Short North. Tickets are $25 in advance.

Buying a Columbus Condo? Do you need Home Insurance?

June 8th, 2009 Categories: buyers, condos and lofts

pict0034 Effective earlier this year, when financing a condo, lenders must verify there is INTERIOR insurance on the unit.  Usually the condo association provides for the exterior insurance.

Lenders don’t escrow for that interior insurance, (collect a portion up-front at the closing) but they need to verify that it is in place at the time of closing.

Prior to this time, lenders would let the owner decide if they wanted to buy insurance or not. The type of Insurance would be almost identical to renter’s insurance and would cover the home owner’s belongings and improvements to the interior of the condo.

Ask your favorite Insurance Agent for details on both home owner and condo owner insurance.

Neighborhood Launch – The downtown condo Ship is Sailing

March 20th, 2009 Categories: Real Estate, buyers, condos and lofts, downtown
http://www.vimeo.com/3780102A Quick update on Downtown Columbus Condos and our newest of Neighborhoods.
In the video I mention (twice) a City Parking lot on 4th and Elm….That is a parking GARAGE being built, not a lot.
ALL the 4th street units are sold except the model which won’t be on the market.
All BUT 3 of the 2 bedroom Townhomes are sold in the middle section on Gay street with the park and fountain setting in the courtyard, so it’s not really completely sold like I mention in my excitement.
4 Townhomes and 1 flat are ALREADY sold on the contemporary condos facing 5th Street.

In a time when nothing else seems to be selling, Neighborhood Launch isn’t doing too bad. It’s tough to keep track of because I tend to follow units via the MLS and not Builder Sites but I really love this project.
If not for Would-Be buyers who can’t sell their suburban homes, probably 10 more would have been sold by now.

Let’s face it, Jeff Edwards is literally launching a neighborhood in Downtown Columbus. I, for one, applaud this project. Interested? Call me to go take a look.
