The Northeast Ohio real estate market has changed significantly in the past year turning to a SELLERrsquos advantage in most suburbs The
number of homes available for sale has continued to decline while home sales are increasing which has helped boost sales prices and
decrease market time for home sellers With mortgage rates still at historic lows a home buyers cost of purchasing a home is lower and
more affordable than ever which is boosting demand Homes that are in very good condition and that are priced and marketed effectively
are selling for higher prices which is driving up home values Home owners throughout the area are seeing their homes value and equity increase which is a welcome change from the past years All and all It is a great year to move

DAYS ON MARKET
DAYS ON MARKET (DAYS TO SELL) IS DECREASING
The number of days it takes to sell a home has been decreasing as the
market has become tighter and inventory is low In the past five years
total days on market (CDOM) peaked at 139 days in 2011 and is now 97
days ndash a 30 decrease So we are seeing homes sell significantly
FASTER With low interest rates and rising prices it is a great time to
sell So if you list your home be ready to get moving
CDOM is Cumulative Days on Market and includes if a home was on the
market and then expired and re-listed Days on Market (DOM) is the
number of days to sell in the current listing period Todays DM in Cuyahoga County is averaging 76 days from list date to close
WHERE HAVE ALL THE LISTINGS GONE
NUMBER OF HOMES FOR SALE (ACTIVE
LISTINGS) AT 5 YEAR LOWS
The inventory of homes ldquoFor Salerdquo in Cuyahoga County (see
CHART) has been consistently decreasing over the past 5
years Even with the positive trends in 2015 we have yet to see the
inventory of homes increase to levels higher than the past five
years At the start of June we had 4198 Single Family homes for
sale in Cuyahoga County compared to 7945 in 2011 - a 47
decrease The low supply of homes for sale has assisted in
boosting sales prices and lowering the time it takes to sell a
home The reasons for the strong year-over-year home
appreciation numbers we have been seeing is simple to explain
demand for housing is up and the supply of homes for sale has been at historic lows
MONTHS OF INVENTORY
CUYAHOGA COUNTY INVENTORY AT 34 MONTHS
The Average current market inventory in Cuyahoga County is
34 months This is a still a Balanced Market county-wide (but

inventory) Markets with extremely low inventory and high
turnover include Lakewood Brunswick Brook Park an Parma
Heights

HOME BUYER GRANTS amp DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
NHS GREATER CLEVELAND - Eligible homebuyers can receive down payment assistance in the amount of up to 17 of the
total transaction The total calculates as purchase price plus 5 of purchase price for closing costs The homebuyer will be
responsible for a minimum of 3 of the total transaction contribution towards the purchase The assistance is provided in the
form of a deferred mortgage loan (50 forgiven after 10 yrs of occupancy) Info httpswwwnhsclevelandorg
CLEVELAND CITYLIFT PROGRAM - Provides eligible homebuyers with $15000 in down payment assistance on qualified
properties in the City of Cleveland Income restrictions apply
OHIO FINANCE AUTHORITY (OHFA) - Down Payment Assistance allows homebuyers to choose either 25 or 5 of the
homes purchase price Assistance can be applied toward your down payment closing costs or other pre-closing expenses
Down payment assistance is forgiven after seven years If you sell or refinance your home within seven years you must repay
all of the assistance provided More info at httpmyohiohomeorgdownpaymentassistanceaspx
There are several programs available for down payment and closing cost assistance to Northeast Ohio homebuyers who
qualify Here are details on a few of the available programs
Whether you are a first time home buyer or repeat buyer the first step in the process is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage
This is necessary before you can approach a seller with an offer to purchase a home
Interest rates are projected to increase slightly over the course of 2016 The experts predict that home prices will
continue to appreciate for the remainder of the year If these trends continue families could wind up paying considerably
more for their home by waiting until later or next year This year is a great year to make a move because of rising resale
values and affordability to purchase (especially compared to renting)
In many markets rents are rising to unsustainable levels reports the National Association of Realtors (NAR) In the past five
years a typical rent rose 15 while the income of renters grew by only 11ldquo Today buying is 38 cheaper than renting
nationwide and buying is cheaper than renting in all of the 100 largest metros In the Cleveland amp Akron metro areas it is
58 cheaper to buy verses rent A great resource to compare what is a better for you is to visit Truliarsquos online ldquoRent vs
Buyrdquo Calculator at httpwwwtruliacomrent_vs_buy
