Beachwood OH is a luxury real estate market, here are the top 5 reason why.

ere is a list of the 5 most expensive properties listed for sale in Beachwood.
#5- 24450 Woodside Lane. This 5989 square foot home has 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths. It is listed for sale at $699,900.

Cleveland area home prices are down in 4th quarter. But is the Luxury Market here dead? Take a look at the stats and you decide.
Since October in Cuyahoga County only 1 home over $1,000,000 has come under contract. (Per NEOHREX a Realtor only site) And 4 have closed over a $1,000,000.
However, there are 3 pending homes between $750,000 and $1,000,000. There have been 7 homes between $750,000 and $1,000,000 that have closed since October. There are currently 204 homes on the market in Cuyahoga county that are priced over $750,000.
Based on these statistics the answer looks bleak. However, I happen to be a glass half full kind of girl. So I’d like to look at it another way.
According to NEOHREX There are currently 204 single family homes for sale in Cuyahoga county over $750,000. And as I said before there are 4 pending. However, there are 222 homes for sale between $500,000 and $750,000 and 12 pending. There have been 26 houses to close in this price range from October 1.
What these numbers tell us is that the market is not dead it has just shifted. Buyers who can spend between $500-$750 are out there. They are getting amazing deals on homes that three years ago were priced much closer to $1,000,000 and beyond. Trust me its true The Weiner Real Estate Group is working with some of these buyers! If you are a buyer looking for a deal on a luxury home now is the time. There are 221 homes out there to choose from.
On the other hand, if you are a seller and NEED to sell then unfortunately your home is not worth what you think it should be. Cut your losses and drop the price. You can make up the difference on the buying end. I told you I was optimistic.
One final thought. I started writing this blog a little over a year ago. The story was the same then. Prices are low. There are great deals for buyers. Sellers, unfortunately this isn’t your time to make money. The writing is on the wall, the market is not changing for some time, it is here to stay. Stop mopping and waiting for it to change. Work with what we got!

In Cleveland’s gloomy past is the old story about how the Cuyahoga River actually caught on fire. Well according to a story the Plain Dealer published yesterday the Cuyahoga River has really cleaned up its act.

Today, you can fish for steel head trout or walk along the Cuyahoga’s shore and check out all the wild life. This is just one of the great ways that Cleveland is working to be more of a green city. Not to be a downer but the River is far from perfect. For example, the Cuyahoga is likely to be forever troubled by suburban runoff, which leads to the growth of algae — despite the multibillion-dollar efforts of sewer districts in Cleveland and Akron to catch and treat most of the water. (Plain Dealer Article) But it is great to know that at least we are on the right track.
