The suburbs around Columbus seem to have “personalities’. People gravitate toward one suburb or another based on the personality they perceive the suburb to have. Those perceptions may be correct or they may not. 
Some suburbs are similar, yet different.
People who like older homes with nooks & crannies may opt for Worthington, Upper Arlington, Clintonville or Bexley. Those who like newer homes may elect to live in Dublin, Powell or Lewis Center. A suburb like New Albany is for those that enjoy the East Coast Williamsburg look. Some people take comfort in buying a “normal” house that, while it may have some unique features, it’s not so different from others. The home conforms.
Then there’s the eclectic set of people. The “march to a different drummer” kind of folks. Cookie-cutter homes aren’t for these people. They view themselves as unique and want a home to reflect that uniqueness. The typical subdivision isn’t their style either because many subdivisions don’t allow uniqueness.
Currently I have a listing that is one of these “different drummer” homes. Today I was checking inventory availability in the Hoover Reservoir area where this home is located. As I looked at the homes and their interior photos, it occurred to me that although the area east of Hoover Reservoir isn’t really like a subdivision, there was some commonality to the homes. The commonality to them is their “uncommonness”.
I began to wonder if people gravitate to this area because of the ability to live within a pastoral setting in a truly custom home that is unlike any other. Most of the homes are built to take full advantage of the outdoor view, be it trees, ravines or the reservoir’s water view. I suspect these are people who are comfortable in their own skin and confident enough to venture outside-the-box with their home’s architecture. Simply because of the terrain, they may also have an appreciation for nature or simply enjoy their privacy.
It’s interesting how birds of a feather flock together, isn’t it. Oh-h … and did I mention how many unique birds – those with actual feathers – flock to this east side of Hoover Reservoir as well?
If you’re the type of person with your own drum and want a home to reflect that, give me a call. I’ve got one that will knock your socks off!

This weekend marks the beginning of the BIA Parade of Homes. It will be held at Tartan Ridge in Dublin and should prove to have the elegant homes of past years. There are eleven builders participating in this year’s event.
It’s always fun to visit the Parade to view new decorating trends or get ideas for our own homes. I suspect some “honey-do” lists get a little longer after the visits.
The Parade runs from July 11 through July 26. Hours are Mon-Sat 12pm-9pm; Sun 12pm-6pm. Tickets cost $12 and parking costs $2. Kids under 12 are free. Visit the BIA Parade web site for locations offering discounted tickets. Tartan Ridge is northwest of downtown Dublin, off Hyland-Croy Rd near Glacier Ridge Metro Park.
I’ll be there on July 18 working at the New England Homes model. This builder has won awards at past Parades, so be sure to visit it. If you’re there on the 18th, be sure to say ‘hi’.
EDITED:
I went to the Parade location today to pick up my pass to work the New England home. Here’s a photo of the New England Homes model where I’ll be on the 18th.
It’s very nice inside with a great floor plan. It’s already sold, but the builder can build one just for YOU!
This is the Duffy home model. I thought it was a very appealing style, especially with the copper roof. I haven’t been inside as there were many workers there today making last minute preparations for Saturday’s opening.
Aren’t you excited just looking at these gorgeous homes?

The 2nd quarter homes sales data is now available for our review. I confess, I thought the numbers would be better than they are. Some agents are reporting that they are busy but when quizzed, those are agents selling a fair number of REO’s or low priced homes. The more expensive homes are still selling very slowly.
The following graph is an update from one I created in May. I’ve also added more school districts for a better comparison to the northern Franklin county/southern Delaware county areas. Although many of the school districts sold substantially fewer homes than in 2008, the average price of the homes sold has not declined nearly as much. For instance, 23% fewer homes were sold in the Olentangy school district but the price that buyers paid was only 2% lower than last year. The Westerville district saw a similar disconnect with 29% fewer homes sold at an average price that was only 9% lower.
This might be a disappointment for buyers hoping to submit a low-ball offer and then have the seller accept it. The disappointment for sellers is that if they plan to hold firm with their pricing, they may have their home go unsold given the limited number of buyers.
Click to enlarge chart
The good news – for sellers – is that for the past two months, average home prices in most of these school districts has been increasing somewhat each month. The good news for buyers is that these prices are still below what they were a few years ago. The “experts” predict that the current market is a “reset” and that it will be quite some time before we return to the higher prices that we saw in 2003-2005.

If your home is for sale, you know how important showings can be to actually selling the home. Usually the more people that view your home, the better opportunity you have to sell. It’s a numbers game.
Not getting showings? Then something is wrong. The photos? The price? The home? The area? Yes, there are fewer buyers than in past years, especially for higher priced homes, but showings are still occurring. Perhaps, you’re wondering how your showings stack up against others.
My broker, and numerous other brokers in the CBR MLS system, subscribe to Centralized Showing Service (CSS) to simplify other agents being able to set up showings. CSS just added a new feature that allows member agents to review the stats for other homes vs our listings. We can sort the data several different ways and it will be useful when evaluating a listing price or potential necessary price reduction.
I thought you might like to see the price ranges of showings that have occurred so far this year for four of the key areas in southern Delaware County: Powell, Lewis Center, Galena and Delaware city. The pie slices equal the percentage distribution of the showings for the given area.
Showings on homes in the Powell area which encompasses the southwest portion of Delaware County.

Showings on homes in the Lewis Center area which encompasses the southeast portion of Delaware County.

Showings on homes in the Galena area which encompasses the east portion of Delaware County.

Showings on homes in Delaware city which encompasses the central portion of Delaware County.

Showings on homes in all FOUR areas.
While the four above charts show the distribution of showings within each area, the total number of showings for each area differs quite a bit. The chart below shows the relationship of the number of showings for each area. Powell had nearly half (48%) of the showings.

Given a choice, I would expect most home buyers would say they prefer to buy into a “stable” neighborhood where there’s not a lot of people moving out and in. They want to get to know their neighbors because there is a comfort level in that. They like stability for the kids their children come to know as playmates. Long term neighbors often watch out for each other becoming aware of what’s “normal” and what’s not … acting as an unstructured block watch group.
When I purchased my home, the neighborhood of 368 homes was still being developed. My home was in Phase 2 of ultimately 7 phases. At that early stage, I had no way of knowing whether or not it would be a stable neighborhood.
As it turns out, it is a VERY stable community. After 15 years, 43% of the homes are lived in by the original owners. 42% are lived in by the second owner, but many of those owners have lived in their home for 7-10 years. When it comes time for people to move, it’s quite common for them to express how much they really hate to leave but a new job opportunity or the need for a larger home, requires them to make their decision. That speaks volumes about the friendliness of the community.
I don’t know how the 43% compares to other communities, but it seems like it might be on the high side for 15-year old homes. When I was calculating the data for this analysis, I noticed that there was a substantial variance for the 13 streets. Two of the streets had over 80% original owners! Two other streets had only 20-some % original owners. I’m not sure why the disparity, but I suspect it is due to price. The high turnover streets tend to have lower prices so they may be appealing to first time buyers. The less transient streets have more expensive homes, thus, it’s possible those “move-up” buyers were buying their “last” home before going into a condo.
As for me, I’m one of the 2nd owners who has lived in the home for 12 years. Since The Murph has plenty of playmates, I think I’ll sit tight until I, too, decide a condo is the next step … or not.

Central Ohio has two main lakes which are both man-made water reservoirs: Hoover and Alum Creek. For me, Hoover Reservoir is the “quiet one” and Alum Creek is the “bustling one”. Speed boats aren’t permitted on Hoover, so it seems more serene with the sail boats, kayaks, and small fishing boats casually floating by as many birds fly overhead.
On any given nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon, your likely to see bike clubs pedaling their way on the tree-lined roads that circle the lake. Red Bank Rd runs along the east side and Sunbury Rd along the west side. The terrain along the Red Bank side is more rolling and the homes that sit between the road and the lake are often hidden within wooded lots with many have ravines. Homes on the Sunbury Rd side tend to have flat lawns, fewer trees, and more unobstructed views of the lake. They also have more traffic as Sunbury Rd is the primary access to many subdivisions on the west side of the road.
Occasionally, there are luxury homes for sale in this Hoover area. It’s a very desirable location not only because of the views but also because of its easy access to the airport or downtown Columbus (~30 min). People can enjoy spending the day in the city, then come home afterward to their own quiet sanctuary.
Except for the lower southwest side of Hoover Reservoir, the area is serviced by the Big Walnut school district which has a report card rating of Excellent with the Ohio Board of Education. Another advantage to the area are lower tax rates than the neighboring Olentangy school district.
If this area sounds like a place you would like to call home, call me first and I’ll try to help you find the perfect place so you can start enjoying your own personal sanctuary.

This photo is of a Kwansa (sp?) cherry tree. I noticed that one of it’s limbs is bare. Tonight I noticed that the trunk bark is pulled away and there are ¼” holes all along the trunk. I can’t tell if an insect has made the holes or a bird.
This tree isn’t far from my house so I’ve not noticed any birds hanging on the trunk. Other than The Murph, the only critters I’ve seen in the yard are rabbits and a chipmunk. I’m not sure why so much of the bark is pulled away. It only looks like this on the bottom 3-feet of the trunk.
BTW, my yard is fenced and there are no deer. For perspective, that’s The Murph standing behind the tree so as you can tell, the tree isn’t very large.
Can anyone tell me what is attacking this tree?

The Ohio Dept of Job and Family Services has issued Ohio’s jobless rate for April and Delaware County is the lowest in the State at 6.6%. The State rate is 10.2%.
This isn’t too surprising as the southern portion of the county – where most of the population is – is primarily bedroom communities. The residents live here but work elsewhere. According to the Delaware Area Chamber of Commerce, 60% of the county’s workforce actually work outside the county.
Neighboring counties have more jobs and thus higher jobless rates. Franklin County’s rate is 8.1% and Union County, where Scotts-Miracle Gro Co and Honda are located, is 8.4%.
The bedroom communities located in southern Delaware County are Powell, Lewis Center, Galena, Delaware city and a portion of Dublin (Muirfield). Olentangy is the largest school district in the southern part. Portions of Big Walnut SD, Buckeye Valley SD and Delaware SD are also located in the southern portion of the county.
If you would like to live in this great county, give me a call. I live here too and can help you find a terrific home.

The folklore surrounding Chief Leatherlips and the Memorial Tournament, hosted at Jack Nicklaus’ Muirfield Village in Dublin, seems to be in place once again this year.
Pop-up showers are forecast for this afternoon. Rain for Wednesday. More pop-ups predicted for Sunday afternoon. Yep … sounds like the Chief may be at it again.

Real Living, the nationally recognized innovative real estate company, has taken a page from the automotive world and is offering a PEACE OF MIND PLAN for home buyers. If you’ve been hesitant to purchase a home now – even though interest rates and prices are quite low – here’s a program that just might solve your dilemma.
If your heart is set on a new home, but you’re stressed about the economic realities we all face, Real Living HER has your answer. The Peace of Mind Plan is designed to provide the comfort you deserve and the confidence you need to make your move a reality.
Be sure to click on the above Peace Of Mind link for more details (it IS an insurance policy afterall), but a quick version is …
One-Year Coverage
Use a Real Living HER agent to represent you when buying a home, finance your mortgage with Real Living Mortgage, and you can be covered with ONE YEAR of insurance benefit to cover a monthly mortgage payment of up to $1,500 for up to 6-months if you become “involuntarily unemployed” during the first year you are in your new home.
Two-Year Coverage
Once you qualify for the One-Year Coverage, if the home you buy is a Real Living HER listing then the Peace Of Mind Plan extends for a second year.
I have an upscale listing that might be just the ticket for this type of program. At open houses that I’ve held for this home, some of the guests have been reluctant to move forward with purchasing, even though they really liked this home, because they were uncertain about the future of their employment. If those reluctant buyers are already working with one of the hundreds of Real Living HER Realtors® and they finance with Real Living Mortgage, then buying this home could earn them an extra year of coverage. Sounds like a winner to me!
Want to know more about this plan? Call June Zepp with Real Living Mortgage at 614-825-8806. She can give you ALL the details. Or call me at 614-825-8860 for assistance in finding YOUR next home or to learn more about this Hoover Reservoir home in the photo.

Have you planted your salad garden yet this spring? I noticed my neighbors added a small garden box a few weeks ago and were adding the plants over the weekend. I suspect more such gardens were created this year as people try to be more frugal AND to have better tasting veggies.
Vine ripened tomatoes and peppers simply have so much more flavor.
Now if you’re REALLY into gardening, you can build a large deer-proof enclosure if your deed restrictions allow, as this home has. This garden was designed by a landscape architect.
It contains raised beds for easier tending to the plants. Some boxes have covers that can be closed to protect early plants from late frosts that might damage them. That’s fresh spinach eagerly growing in the sunshine. The walkways between the beds provide mud-free paths.
The unique home that is connected to this magnificent garden also has a special plant preparation room complete with concrete floor and a sink for easy clean-up. Pretty cool, isn’t it!
There is also another room that provides a cool place to store the produce, such as potatoes and onions, for the winter.
If you’re into gardening AND looking for a spectacular home, give me a call. You’re going to love this setting!

Have you made your holiday weekend plans? Or are you staying flexible so you can enjoy last minute fun?
I’m hoping to work in my yard. Haven’t had the chance to do that this year. Every time I’ve thought I’d take a few hours off to do it, I get a phone call that changed my plans. I’ve bought the weed killer and the lawn fertilizer. I have a few annuals to put in, complete with the special soil mix to hold the water.
I may have to dig up some ornamental grasses that didn’t make it through this past harsh winter. Others really need to be divided, but I tried that last year and wasn’t strong enough to get the shovel through the base. Thankfully, I don’t have to mow lawn anymore. That’s my one splurge … I hire it done. It takes them a matter of minutes to do what it took me a good hour and half to do.
Many people may be planning to save money by staying close to home. If you’re looking for some suggestions perhaps some of these previous posts will give you some ideas.
Columbus Zoo and Zoombezi Bay (Powell OH). It’s not free but it’s local and fun for the whole family. My family went there for Mother’s Day and had a great time.
Highbanks Metro Park (Lewis Center OH) is a great place to hike the trails or gather for a family picnic. Stroll through the woods or meander along the Olentangy River. There’s one trail that dogs can walk on, but they can be at the picnic places. Keep them on a leash and of course, pick up the doo-doo.
Alum Creek Reservoir (Lewis Center OH) has something for everyone. There’s a beach, picnic areas, boat launches, camping areas and a dog park with its own beach.
If you just want to relax along water, southern Delaware County has four such waterways: Hoover Reservoir, Alum Creek Reservoir, the Olentangy River, and the Scioto River.
If golfing is more your thing, there are LOTS of opportunities.
If you’re short on time or have only an hour or two, you can visit Hayden Run Falls where you can walk through a wooded area to see the falls, or get a unique view of the Scioto River. You’ll forget that you’re in the heart of a busy city.
If you need a reminder of why we have this 3-day weekend, be sure to read Missy Caulk’s blog post. She has included many great quotes from past politicians when patriotism was perhaps a little more prevalent than it is now. Plus, she honors her son who is now serving in the Navy.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you take some time to recharge your batteries, get re-acquainted with your family, enjoy a little nature, and just RELAX. Oh, and I’ll be the one with the sore muscles come Tuesday.

Well, it is obvious that the ash tree in front of my home has succumbed to the emerald ash borer.
This is what the tree looked like two years ago when I first started blogging about the borer’s damage.
June 2007
This is what the tree looks like now. Only a few limbs have any sign of leaves.
May 2009
The tree to the west of this tree has also succumbed. The tree to the east was already cut down in Jan 2008. Many others on this side of the street to the east are looking the same way. The trees further down the west side of the street seem as though they’ll start to weather the onslaught for another year. There seems to be different varieties of ash trees – male and female? – so I wonder if that is making a difference as to why some have been attacked earlier than others.
This is so sad!
Read all my ash borer articles.

Ever so often we receive a newsletter from the Delaware County Engineer’s office detailing their projects. I enjoy reading this newsletter as it has a lot of good info in it. This month, Chris Bauserman, informed us of the results of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act – the stimulus bill. He explains why so many local government agencies are skeptical and discouraged about the true impact of the ARRA.
Aside from the ARRA, some projects are already underway for the county. Some of them will affect the areas I frequently drive through:
- Sawmill Pkwy extension to Hyatts Rd – complete Sep 09.
- Orange Rd bridge over the Olentangy River – complete Aug 2009.
- Orange Rd & Rt 315 roundabout – Aug to Oct 09
- Liberty Rd realignment at Home Rd – Jun 09 to Aug 2010
- S Old State & Lewis Center Rd intersection widening – May to Nov 09
- Red Bank Rd bridge over Hoover Reservoir south of Sunbury Rd – Jun to Nov
There is a complete list of the projects at the Engineer’s web site.

Will my house be in violation of Delaware County zoning codes?
July 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Tiny bird nest
My home is zoned for single-family residential. I think it might be in violation of the zoning code. It’s become a multi-family home.
I took a Sunday off from the usual open house stint, to do some mulching, edging and pruning. When pruning the flowering crab apple tree, I noticed a tiny bird nest.
At first I thought I had finally found a hummingbird nest since they’re regular visitors. However, although the nest was tiny, I don’t think it was small enough for a hummingbird. May belong to the chickadees or goldfinches.
I got my ladder to take a close up photo. When I was “in” the tree, I noticed a second nearby same-sized nest. I was a little surprised as I thought birds didn’t build their nests so close together.
Larger bird nest
As I turned around to climb down the ladder, I noticed a 3rd larger nest with some thin plastic woven in the twigs. I’ve seen both robins and doves come out of this tree so this larger nest probably belongs to one of them.
Pyracantha
Another pair of robins seem to favor a pyracantha near the back door. In fact, I planted it for them and the other berry eating birds so they’ll have food in the winter. That’s when they make a run on the orange berries.
This summer “something” else is using the thorny barrier of the pyracantha for shelter. When The Murph goes out the final time at night, there is sometimes “something” hidden in the shrub that scares him. Its movement makes him jump and then run up the steps to come back in the house.
Then there are the chipmunks. They have tunnels everywhere, plus, they bury the birds’ sunflower seeds so I have little outcroppings of sunflower sprouts in most of my landscape beds.
And of course, there are the rabbits! They’ve raised numerous families under the five Norway spruces since I planted the trees years ago. They began living there when I had Brutus, my 3rd
Dobie. Brutie never bothered them and they quickly learned that they didn’t have to run when he came into the yard.
Not so with The Murph. When he’s out, they keep a watchful eye, ever ready to scamper under the fence if need be. The Murph after all IS a rabbit-hunting breed. I know when there is a new batch of babies because The Murph sometimes has rabbit fur stuck to his nose from his sniffing around the rabbit hole that is lined with the mama’s fur.
I’m glad that the wildlife has adopted my home as their own, It’s rather fun living in a multi-family home – even if it isn’t zoned for that.
