LUXURY HOME MARKETING REPORT JAN/FEB 2009
The Solon Ohio luxury real estate market has been somewhat active during the first 60 days of 2009. Luxury homes in the Cleveland metropolitan area are defined as those selling for over $500,000. Thus far, 5 luxury homes have officially sold this year in Solon. This is equal to the number of homes that sold during the first 60 days of 2008 as well. However, there is a slight trend this year compared to 2008. Here is a comparison:
| Ave. Sale Price | Ave. Price Sq./Ft | Ave. Market Time | |
| 2009 | $592,400 | $130,92 | 227 |
| 2008 | $700,200 | $158.99 | 161 |
SUMMARY: Even though we are even with last years figures in terms of number of sales, the average sale price of a luxury home here in Solon is lower than at the same time last year. The reason for this is that 4 out of 5 of the sales have been either bank owned or short-sale properties.
At this point, there is no need to be alarmed as we are only two months into the year. Statistics can be somewhat skewed with such a small number of homes being used in this report. Since we are expecting 40-50 luxury home sales in Solon in 2009, the number of bank owned or distressed properties should be low enough that it won't have a great overall affect on end of the year statistics. The positive news is that luxury homes in Solon are selling.
Here is a list of all luxury homes sold so far this year in Solon:
| SOLDS JAN/FEB 2009 | Sale Price |
| 7401 Vahalla Dr | $529,000 |
| 6709 Winston Lane | $560,000 |
