Rental Market EXPLOSION!

I've noticed in the Southwest Ohio area that there are a gazillon renters! I'm shocked because interest rates are so low right now, and it is a GREAT time to buy! What is the rental market like in your area? One of the 11 properties I have listed right now in Kettering, Ohio (a suburb of Dayton) is for sale OR lease. I've received 10 times more phone calls, text messages, and emails on that one property than any other listing. I heard the rental market was really good, but I didn't know it was that good! My husband and I own rentals and it can be a tough business if you don't have good tenants. I've also done some property management in assisting clients with tenants and I currently have a 4 unit building listed. So if you or someone you know needs assistance in purchasing a rental property or managing a rental property, then please contact me today!

The Housing Market on an Upswing?

I know, it's shocking, but true! One sign that the market is picking up is an increase in visitors per listing. I have personally seen a HUGE increase in potential buyers visiting my listings this year versus last year. Tracking new construction deals is another sign of market transistion. Builders are doing away with concessions, and this is a sign that the market is improving. The experts report that by the end of 2008 we will be in a seller's market. So sell while you can still turn around and buy another home at the historically low interest rates!

Best Area Restaurant

I recently posted this topic on Trulia voices (see link below). If you haven't joined Trulia voices yet, then I highly recommend it. Although it focuses on Real Estate FAQ's, there are all sorts of information on the website. I'm a happy contributor and reader!

I'm curious, what is the best restaurant in your area? In Dayton, I'd say Thai 9 - great sushi and thai dishes! For breakfast, Golden Nugget - they have great pancakes!
