With 40 closed transactions in January, and our quickly growing staff, we're sure off to a running start for 2013! 

There is definitely a pent-up demand for homes in the Youngstown suburbs.  There are lots of well-qualified buyers looking for the right home in the $150,000--$300,000 price ranges, but it's slim pickins because the housing inventory is so low.

Most of the new listings coming on the market are lower priced foreclosure properties which provides a real challenge for agents trying to help their clients achieve their goals.

If you are planning to list in the Spring . . . don't wait . . . do it now.  Given that your property is well-maintained and appealing with the amenities buyers are seeking, and given that you are priced near the actual market value, you should list now while the inventory is low to get the best price, most favorable terms, and least amount of market time.

Contact Us for a professional consultation on the value of your home and an analysis of the real estate market in your neighborhood.

Annette DePalmo received her real estate license in 1990 and enjoyed a successful career with Century 21 Real Estate as a Realtor and a Mentor.  She met and married her husband Angelo in 1994.  They are blessed with a son Angelo who is in the 4th grade at CH Campbell Elementary School in Canfield. 

Annette took a break from selling Real Estate in order to have more time to devote to her home and family.  She is now ready to get back to work helping other families realize their dream of home ownership.

Annette is an active member of the Canfield PTO and the Cub scouts.  She is also very active with her son who plays baseball for the Canfield Baseball Club, basketball and flag football.  “Baseball is our real passion.  We are big Cleveland Indian fans!” 

“Whether you are buying or selling your first home, moving up to a bigger home or downsizing, it would be my pleasure to help you find the house of your dreams.”

Annette can be reached at 330-360-4538 or [email protected].

What's Up?  Pending Sales, Closed Sales, Median and Average Sales Prices . . . the upward trend continues!

What's Down?  Days on Market . . . a good thing. 

What about available inventory?  We have only 8.4 months supply of available homes, down 24.8% from 11.2 months in November of 2011.  Low inventory levels continue to provide a challenge to the ready, willing and able buyers out there. 

Ready to sell your home?  Get geared up now to put your house on the market right after the holiday.  Take advantage of the fact that pre-approved buyers are waiting in the wings for the right property to become available.
