One of my all-time favorite issues of Columbus Monthly was the ‘Best Neighborhoods’ issue they did probably five or six years ago. It had all the favorites from Eastmoor and Berwick to Westgate and Minerva Park.

The May 2013 issue of Columbus Monthly has a ‘Best Columbus suburb‘ cover story and a neat interactive suburb map here. What’s your favorite Columbus suburb?

Spoiler Alert: Columbus Monthly’s top three Columbus Suburbs are #1 New Albany, #2 Upper Arlington and #3Dublin.

A few weeks ago the front of this home on Dennison Avenue in the Short North, across from Goodale Park, collapsed into the front yard.
It’s doing much better now.

The former broker at Re/Max Town Center has relaunched his Delicious Real Estate brokerage he had put on ice 20 months ago as well as plans to put his spin on the residential sales business.

Joe Peffer began operations this month, with partners Adam Rich and Peter Lohmann running the residential property-management side of the business out an office in the King Lincoln District.

Peffer told me he first opened Delicious Real Estate in October 2008 after five years with Coldwell Banker King Thompson. Of course, the fall of 2008 also marked the slide of the global financial markets, and ensuing tightening of the mortgage market pushed down sales. So he went to Re/Max Town Center and put his brokerage plans aside.

While he enjoyed managing that Easton-based brokerage, Peffer said he wanted an opportunity to build his own business as the housing market improves.

“I just wanted to make the decision where my brokerage goes and hand-pick my own agents,” he said.

“It’s a crazy game, real estate,” he said. “There are a lot of ways to do it better.”

Peffer has worked with Lohmann and Rich for about three years and helped them buy some of their modest holdings in residential real estate. Lohmann tells me he and Rich expanded beyond taking care of their four properties and offer third-party management of residential investment properties six months ago.

“We were looking for a broker,” said Lohmann of asking Peffer.

Lohmann recently quit his job as a control systems engineer to work full time at Delicious Real Estate while Rich remains working as a structural engineer. The trio have set up offices at 889 E. Long St. in the King-Lincoln District close to where Peffer has lived for 16 years.

Peffer said he hopes to have five or six “technology savvy” agents listing properties before the end of the year.

“I want someone eager and motivated,” he said. “Real estate in Columbus trends very old school. I want to bring a fresh face to it.”

It is important to be informed about mortgage changes as they relate to your potential situation. If you are planning on buying a home this Spring/Summer and you are planning on putting down as little as 3.5%, you’ll be spending a lot more money over the life of the loan if you go into contract after June 3, 2013.

Effective for all case numbers assigned on or after April 1, 2013 the monthly mortgage insurance premium on FHA 30 year fixed rate loans increased from a factor of 125 basis points to 135 basis points. On a $100,000 purchase with 3.5% down that’s a monthly increase of $7.91. Case numbers are assigned when a property goes into contract.

Effective for all case numbers assigned on or after June 3, 2013 on FHA 30 Year fixed rate loans, with less than 10% down payment, the monthly mortgage insurance premium remains in place for the life of the loan. Currently, the monthly insurance premium cancels at 78% loan to value with a minimum of 5 years.

If you are an FHA buyer, this information may encourage you to speed up your decision making processes. There are options with 3% down conventional loans. However, the rates are affected more dramatically by lower credit scores than FHA. In fact, there many different loan programs out there and it’s always best to get as far ahead of the learning curve as possible. Talk to your lender now. If you need a lender, call me.

For years, the first question friends asked when they learned I lived practically in Downtown Columbus was, “There is no grocery store in Downtown Columbus! Where do you do your grocery shopping?” Now, I and thousands of others have a handy retort to that question in the new Hills Market that opened two weeks ago on Grant Street. Here’s a video from the Grand Opening.

Truth be told, the Hills Downtown does have everything Downtown Columbus residents need in a grocery store. And while it’s completely possible to do every single bit of your grocery shopping through the market, you probably won’t. There are larger chain groceries nearby like the Brewery District Kroger, another Kroger in Weinland Park, and soon a Giant Eagle at Grandview Yard. Each of these stores offer staples for far less than a local, niche grocer like Hills can offer, but then again, that is part of the charm and attractiveness of shopping at the Hills. Local matters.

Though not as inexpensive, our local downtown Columbus grocery The Hills can compete with those stores when it comes to available shelved products. It can also take on our other favorite nearyby, and recently re-opened Whole Foods in Upper Arlington when it comes to delicious ready-made foods. The Hills offers a long salad bar, an in-house meat department, prepared foods, lots of Ohio-made foods, fresh local baked goods, beer and wine, coffee and Sunday Brunch. Parking is still easy and it’s close enough for both downtown Columbus residents and those who live near to walk to – in fact, I walked there one Sunday morning with my kids in tow to get some delicious donuts!

You can also shop online and have it ready for pick-up on your way home or wherever you might be going….a romantic picnic on the Scioto maybe. My favorite Hills deal? Buy a re-usable shopping bag at the Hills Market and get 20% off whatever fits in it every Monday.

The Hills Market Downtown Knows the Downtown Columbus Demographic and Proves It With Grocery Delivery

The item that makes the Hills a game changer for downtown Columbus residents, the one thing that matters mightily but no one seems to be talking about, is DELIVERY.

Already delivering from their Worthington location, the Hills Market knows how to do delivery and it’s as simple as placing your order online and waiting for your groceries to show up. Delivery is FREE at the Worthington location if you order $100 or more. Yeah, free. Downtown, in the 43215 area, delivery might be about $5.

They’re still working out the details and haven’t publicized it much, but grocery delivery from a fantastic market with fantastic selections, makes buying a home in Downtown Columbus all that much more viable, easy and convenient. It makes going carless in Columbus one more step closer to reality, and it makes the purchase of downtown Columbus condo that much a better idea.

The post Hills Market Grocery Store Downtown Columbus Paves Way for Home Buyers To Settle Downtown appeared first on Delicious Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Columbus, Ohio.

Peter Lohmann and Adam Rich had been looking to offer property management services at their real estate development company, RL Partners LLC, for quite some time. They’d even interviewed several existing brokerages, but couldn’t find anyone who seemed to “get” their business concept: bringing a lean startup mentality to the real estate industry.

After a few months of dead end prospects, Joe Peffer proposed that the three of them go into business together. Lohmann and Rich talked it over and decided the idea made perfect sense. After all, they had been working with Peffer, a Realtor at RE/MAX Town Center, for years and had forged a strong working relationship.

A partnership seemed like the logical next step.

“Knowing Adam and Peter as clients, I knew them to be smart, deliberate, purposeful and motivated− exactly the kind of characteristics I’d look for in a business partner,” says Peffer.

“The passion they have for bringing clarity and professional representation to the property management world mirrored my desire to forge a new kind of open, transparent real estate brokerage where the client is king and agents exercise and invent industry-wide best practices.”

With their company, Delicious Real Estate, he hopes to get his wish.

Located in a loft space at 889 E. Long St., Delicious Real Estate is just a stone’s throw from the historic Lincoln Theatre.

Peffer will handle real estate transactions −helping buyers and sellers− and grow the brokerage side of the business, eventually recruiting client-centric, tech savvy agents. Meanwhile, Lohmann and Rich will keep doing what they do best: property management.

“A lot of people in real estate give lip service to the idea of customer service, while at the same time ‘serving’ their clients in a dual-agency capacity, representing both buyer and seller,” Lohmann says. “We think that type of relationship is broken on a fundamental level.

“In fact, we think a lot of the existing business models in real estate are plagued by perverse incentives, giving rise to questionable behavior and ethics all over the place. So Delicious will be offering some next-generation real estate products and relationship types, such as fee-for-service, tenant representation, and homeowner property management.”

The company, which caters specifically to first-time and move-up buyers, also plans to be a paperless brokerage and earn Columbus Green Spot status.

Peffer −who has worked in, and blogged about, Columbus real estate for a decade− says Delicious Real Estate is meant to be “an anti-big box brokerage.”

“Delicious agents will have the flexibility they need to run their business the way they feel it needs to be run so that their clients benefit,” he adds. “The profession, in many ways, is inefficient and stodgy. Delicious Real Estate hopes Columbus will recognize the knowledge, technology, and professionalism we bring to the table.”

In 2012, The City of Whitehall partnered with Huntington Bank and Apprisen Financial to offer special mortgage financing to Whitehall borrowers. In the first three months, the My Home Program helped residents close 10 homes.

Because of this new financing program, qualified borrowers can receive down payment assistance up to $5,000, secure a 30-year fixed mortgage rate, and if the home remains the primary residence for five years, the down payment assistance is forgiven. And the My Home Program isn’t just for first time buyers either—previous homeowners can receive assistance as well.

Did you know Whitehall has five new school buildings (effective ratings for the district) and is building a new Columbus Library Branch?

Last year the city added 48 new businesses and employed 100+ additional full time positions–increasing income tax revenue by over 2%. Whitehall will also be home to the new 96,000 sq ft Children’s Services building on Main Street.

You’ve heard the hype, here are some numbers to go along with it…

Report shows Ohio market with low inventory, shrinking days on the market and moderating prices

By Carl Horst of the Ohio Association of Realtors

The latest snapshot of the Ohio housing marketplace reveals that the inventory of homes for sale remain at all-time low levels and that the number of days properties are being marketed continues to shrink, while median list prices throughout the state have begun to fluctuate as the market continues to regain its economic footing.

According to REALTOR.com’s February 2013 Housing Report, which tracks inventory of for-sale single-family homes and condos, median list prices and days on the market for 146 cities across the country:

Realtor.com’s February 2013 national housing data indicates that listing inventories increased 1.15 percent month-over-month; median age of inventory was at 98 days, a 9.26 percent decrease month-over-month; and median list prices were slightly higher month-over-month at $189,900.These numbers show that home buyers are getting an early start on the spring season despite the fact that inventories recently hit record lows.

Notably, the Ohio market — like a number of locales throughout the Midwest and Northeast — has experienced some softening in the median list price during recent months.

Nationally, the inventory of homes listed has dropped by 15.97 percent, the median list price is relatively unchanged and the median age of inventory fell 11.71percent on a year-over-year bases (February 2013 vs. February 2012).

Here’s the breakdown of how the six Ohio markets that REALTOR.com tracks fared in February 2013 (compared to the month a year ago):

“The combination of fewer homes on the market, significant declines in the time period that homes are being marketed and moderating prices are key indicators that the Ohio housing market is making progress in its ongoing recovery effort,” said Thomas J. Williams, president of the Ohio Association of REALTORS. “This report makes it clear that buyers are making the decision to purchase sooner and that sellers have become increasingly realistic in their pricing expectations.”

The quality and number of homes for sale in Olde Towne East

If you haven’t been paying attention because you wrote off Olde Towne East Real Estate after 2005, You might be surprised about the quality and number of homes for sale in Olde Towne East.  Actually, there’s not even much on the market right now but take a look at what homes are in contract in Olde Towne East:

• 1801 Franklin Park S – 4 Bed, 2.2 Bath, $325,000
• 1758 Franklin Ave – 5 Bed, 3.1 Bath, $324,900 (escape clause)
• 1617 Hawthorne Park – 6 Bed, 3.2 Bath $245,000
• 1349 Bryden Rd – 5 Bed, 3.2 Bath $195,000
• 59 Latta – 4 Bed, 2 Bath  $189,000
• 725 Franklin Ave – 4 Bed, 2 Bath $184,997

Between Mt Vernon and East Main there are 20 other homes in contract right now. Right Now. While the Price per Sq Ft is all over the place because these are mostly huge homes, these are very positive signs of a rebound in Olde Towne East Real Estate. Better proof, however, includes some of these sales that have occurred in the last 6 months (yes, 60 total sales in the same geography and during mostly off ‘peak’ market months):

• 1525 Franklin Park S – 4 Bed 3.1 Bath $323,750
• 94 Hoffman – 4 Bed, 3 Bath $300,000
• 263 Woodland – 4 Bed, 4.1 Bath $317,800
• 794 Franklin -5 Bed, 3.1 Bath $315,000
• 277 Woodland Ave – 4 Bed, 3.1 Bath $310,000

These five homes represent the best of the best – homes for sale in Olde Towne East that averaged just over 4000 square feet and sold for and average of around $85/sq ft. The Beauty of the Olde Towne East Real Estate Game, however, is that there is something for everyone, in every single price range and for first time home buyers, for empty nesters, for those looking for a major project with lots of character and for those looking for a move-in ready home.

There are 55 homes on the market right now in the greater Olde Towne East area but only 5 of those are more than $150,000 and none of them are fantastic (I have two fantastic homes coming on the market soon if you’re interested in a pre-market peek). It’s a great time to list your home if you’re a seller and if you’re a buyer, it’s a great time to hook up with an informed Columbus Realtor to help put you in a position of being ready.

I live here and work here. I know these homes and this neighborhood. Ask me any questions you might have about living on the Near East Side. Any time. 614-940-9100.

The post Olde Towne East Real Estate Market Update (Spring 2013) appeared first on Delicious Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Columbus, Ohio.

Much of the particulars remain to be seen regarding how the money will be dispersed and who will get what.

For the most part, it appears that if your primary home was in some stage of foreclosure in 2009 or 2010 and your loan was handled by one of the participating servicers, you might be eligible for compensation.

Who are the lenders involved? It looks like this settlement involves Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC, Sovereign, Sun Trust, U.S. Bank and Aurora.

I recently sat down with some local and regional Bank of America representatives who were out on a sort of ‘we-know-we-had a-bad-reputation-but-now-we’re-ready-to-lend-responsibly’ tour.  It was good to hear about what has happened behind the scenes and the lengths that they have gone to in order to put themselves in a good lending light once again. It was also good to hear someone admit they blew it. I’ve heard similar stories from Chase who was largely unscathed in this mortgage debacle.

Before you settle on your lender for your new Columbus home, let’s have a conversation about that lender’s reputation amongst real estate professionals for getting the job done and getting it done right and with the least amount of hassle to you and your family.

Here is a nice Q and A regarding yesterday’s settlement.

The post What does yesterday’s $8.5 billion mortgage foreclosure settlement mean to Columbus? appeared first on Delicious Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Columbus, Ohio.

Well, they are smart and informed, much more knowledgable about the inventory and the process than any previous generation of home buyers.

I find this to be absolutely true and that’s one big reason why I enjoy working with first time Columbus home buyers so much. My aim is to add to that knowledge by blogging about Columbus Real Estate, networking with would-be buyers and simply being a voice to better inform Columbus area home buyers and sellers about the local industry.

Recently, Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate released the results of a national survey of 18-35 year old Americans, an estimated market that is 103 million strong.  ”The survey’s findings show that these two younger generations of potential homebuyers are not deterred from home buying and believe owning a home is a key indicator of success (75 percent). Furthermore, they are willing to do their research and save in ways that may surprise those who believe the values of Gen X and Y have strayed from those of their parents, including taking a second job and moving in with mom and dad.”

To the finding below, I would add that Columbus area home buyers are inquisitive about and interested in the investment aspects of real estate for long term financial wealth.

From their media release…..Key findings direct from the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate survey include:

• Not the “Me” Generation. The majority of Gen X and Gen Y survey respondents (71 percent) understand that homeownership is not something they deserve; rather it is something they must earn. Nearly all those surveyed are willing to adjust their lifestyle to save for a home by eating out less (62 percent), working a second job (40 percent) or even moving back home with their parents (23 percent).

• In the Know. Sixty-nine (69) percent believe that the recent housing downturn has made them more knowledgeable about homeownership than their parents were at their age. Gen X and Y members appear to be doing their homework before making one of the biggest investments of their lives. For those surveyed, interest rates (58 percent), home prices in a desired neighborhood (59 percent), and the ability to secure a loan (51 percent) are the top areas to research before buying.

• Homeownership is the New Bling. Gen X and Y are not blinded by flashy signs of success; 75 percent believe owning a nice home is a fundamental indicator of success over taking extravagant vacations (12 percent), owning an expensive car (9 percent), or owning designer clothing (5 percent).

• First Things First. Gen X and Y want to make sure they are ready to own. Sixty-nine percent believe someone is ready when they can afford to buy while also maintaining their lifestyle. For 61 percent of respondents, the “readiness indicator” is when they’ve landed a secure job.
