The Clintonville Roundabout @ NorthBroadway and High–Where do Clintonville Housing Values fit in the Traffic Argument?

The homes on EN Broadway are all very nice homes on nice lots. These homes continue to have the most signage regarding the idea of traffic calming at the intersection with High Street in Clintonville.

The biggest Cintonville Real Estate issues here are for those homes on the surrounding side streets where cars “cut through” to avoid the intersection all together or to make up for the lack of the ability to turn South on High Street while on EN Broadway heading West — ie. homes on Milton and Hennepin and those first three blocks of Brighton. Also, those on Oakland Park closest to the alley of Broadway Place.

Right now, let’s face it, it’d be a bit harder to sell a home in one of these places, despite the great Clintonville locations because of the traffic. Roundabout or turn lane or Whatever traffic easing conclusion is reached, if it -in fact- eases traffic here, would be a boon to the peace of mind of those homeowners and those considering buying there.

I don’t like the time it takes to get through that intersection and I don’t like not being to turn South on High but in the end, the traffic–EVEN during rush hour–really isn’t that bad.  I’d like to see more consideration given to PEOPLE who may be walking around and crossing either of these streets. Clintonville is a great place to buy a house, in part, because it’s a great place to walk, especially up and down High Street.

Off the top of my head, the only circle-type traffic calming I can think of in Greater Clintonville is on Stanton-technically not in Clintonville at all-which has both circles and bumps to slow down through traffic.

Clintonville Home Tour is Around The Corner

These Clintonville homes will not be on the Clintonville tour of Homes Sept 13

Lots of Corners actually. And curves, wooded, raviney Clintonvillish curves.

If you love Clintonville, you’ll love the Clintonville home tour. I recommend the Clintonville home tour if you’re considering buying a home in Clintonville or if you’re already a homeowner in Clintonville and you either want to get some ideas for your home or you just miss seeing other homes for sale in Clintonville with your friendly neighborhood Clintonville  Realtor, (ahem, that’s me, right?).

There’s some homes on the list already but the full slate won’t be revealed until mid August. That gives you plenty of time to offer up your home as a stop on the tour.

The 27th annual Clintonville Homes Tour will take place Sunday, Sept. 13. It is scheduled to run from 1 to 6 p.m. and will feature homes on the Walhalla Ravine.

Clintonville First Time Home Buyers have been Lighting it UP

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.
