Douglas McCloud, President of the Ohio Association of Realtors, reported sales information for the past 10 months.  As expected, Ohio experienced a surge in home sales in the first half of the year, mostly due to the tax credit.  The good news was that the average price for a home was $133,866 which is a 3.4% increase over 2009.

The second half of the year was a completely different market. After the expiration of the tax credit, home sales fell dramatically.  Sales in October were down 30.6% from October of 2009.

McCloud states that "The current condtions are ideal for any buyer to act."  Call a Realtor today to see how you can take advantage of this great opportunity!
