Cuyahoga County Home Sales: Old Brooklyn

This is my last update of home sales for the day. It covers zip code 44109. It includes the portion of Old Brooklyn near State and Broadview Roads as well as the area near Spring Road and route 176:

22 Single Family Homes sold in March between the prices of $19,900 and $140,000. They were on the market an average of 74 days -- again, not long, just a bit over two months. The average Ask Price was $79,093 and the average Sale Price was $74,583. The average amenities for the sold homes were: 3brs, one bath and a two car garage. There were no condo sales in March.

On the market now: 179 Single Family Homes and 5 Condos (and one two family home misplaced in the condo section!)

***NOTE: if only five homes sold and there are 179 on the market with owners wanting to sell, there are things to take into consideration. A Realtor® colleague in Michigan came up with a terrific list of things that might be hard to hear, but if your home is up for sale, it's worth a read. I'm going to re-link it again here.

Ohio City, Tremont Homes Sold in March 2007

This is for all of zip code 44113. The single family homes that sold were town homes (single family because they are owned in full by the owners, and are not condominium complexes). One was in Clarence Court and four were in Bergen Village.

The average Ask Price was $348,360 and the average Sale Price was $375,173 (new construction, so with add-ons or upgrades, the prices can go up).
