Mahoning County Real Estate Market Indicators July 2012

Submitted by Patty Massare on Mon, 2012-09-10 12:52

Continued good news for the greater Youngstown area real estate market. 

Year-to-date real estate market statistics for Mahoning County show:

  • Pending Sales  +24%
  • Closed Sales  +17.7%
  • Median Sales Price  +5.5%

The only bad news is that inventory is low . . . which means buyers don't have a lot of choices.  Homeowners are still not selling unless they need to . . . for various reasons . . . but mostly because they have less equity in their homes.  However, if you do want to sell your home it's a great time.  Buyers are lining up in certain price ranges and just waiting for the right home to come on the market. 

We are experiencing multiple offers on properties that are priced close to market value.

To find out what your home is worth in today's market, Contact Us.  We will provide you with an expert evaluation of your property and recommendations on preparing and staging your home to get the most value from what you own.

Lakeside's Growth Spurs Purchase of New Office Building

Submitted by George Berick on Tue, 2012-08-28 17:28

Yeah!  Lakeside Realty officially completed the sale yesterday on its ‘soon to be’ new headquarters located at 51 Wickliffe in Austintown.   Our new 4,000 square foot office building, which was formerly a church, will be ready for the big move within a few months. 

We’re planning to start the repairs and remodeling right away so that we will be ready to occupy the new building before the holiday season.  We've outgrown our current space in spite of the fact that we doubled our square footage just last year.  This new building will comfortably house our current staff with plenty of room for future growth.     Check it out!
