Commentary - As you can see from the numbers, there are typically not a lot of sales in the exclusive community of Moreland Hills Oh. We typically see between 30-40 home sales per year and anticipate things picking up a bit during the rest of the year. 

A recent article showed sales of luxury cars here in Northeast Ohio up 50% during the first quarter of the year, so we are hopeful that sales of luxury homes will follow suit. The rough winter weather we experienced over the last few months certainly didn't help the local real estate market, and many local communities saw a decrease in sales during he first quarter.

Moreland Hills is a fairly affluent area of luxury homes, many that sit on 2+ wooded acres. Moreland Hills is in close proximity to the airport and downtown Cleveland, making it a popular destination for people relocating to Cleveland.

Commentary - As you can see from the numbers above, sales and average sales price for homes in Moreland Hills were both up in 2010. In addition, there were more luxury home sales in Moreland Hills last year ( 9 ) than the previous year ( 3 ). Luxury home sales are defined as those being over $500,000.

Overall, we feel that the market in Moreland Hills has already bottomed out, and that we will see stabilization in the future.  We believe it's too soon to think about seeing any appreciation, and that the market may end up being flat for a while. The communities within the Orange School District ( Moreland Hills, Pepper Pike, and Orange ) all seem to be doing a little better statistically than some of the surrounding areas.

Moreland Hills is a fairly affluent area of luxury homes, many that sit on 2+ wooded acres. Moreland Hills is in close proximity to the airport and downtown Cleveland, making it a popular destination for people relocating to Cleveland.

Moreland Hills OH Real Estate - Home Value Report 3rd Quarter 2010

Before we discuss home values and trends in Moreland Hills, OH, we will first provide a list of all the homes that sold here during the 3rd quarter of 2010. We will then provide a comparison to the third quarter last year and also give year to date comparisons between 2010 and 2009 as well.

Below are sales of Moreland Hills OH homes during July, August, and September of 2010. 

Overall, there were 8 sales during the third quarter of 2010 compared to 11 in 2009.

Here is how the third quarter this year compares with the same time period from 2009 in Moreland Hills:

SUMMARY

To begin, Moreland Hills OH is a very exclusive community with a limited number of home sales. With such a small amount of data, statistics can sometimes be misleading or inconclusive.

So far this year, we have seen 21 home sales at an average sales price of $399,662. There are currently 6 homes under contract, all will most likely transfer before the end of the year.  Last year through the first 3 quarters, we had 26 home sales averaging $350,391. We could conclude that although sales are down, Moreland Hills home values are up compared to last year.

As previously mentioned, with a limited number of sales, it can sometimes be difficult to really get a fair grasp on where home values are heading in Moreland Hills. One good sign is that Moreland Hills luxury home sales, those over $500,000, are up so far this year. So far, there have been 5 sales over $500,000 with the highest being $1,250,000. There are 3 currently under contract. Last year at this time, we only had 3 sales over $500,000. 

So, the fact that the luxury home market is experiencing signs of life is good news. We are seeing this trend in other nearby suburbs as well, and conclude that more luxury home activity is due to high-end buyers feeling more comfortable about the economy, and sellers being more realistic on the value of their homes.

Overall, Moreland Hills is viewed as one of the area's most prestigious suburbs with average home values consistently among the highest in the area. Moreland Hills shares an excellent rated school system ( Orange Schools, rated excellent by the state of Ohio ) with neighboring communities of Pepper Pike and Orange, and offers distinctive homes on private wooded lots.

Moreland Hills OH Real Estate - Market Report Spring 2010

Below are sales of Moreland Hills OH homes during the first quarter of 2010. 

Overall, there were 7 sales during the first quarter of 2010 compared to only 3 in 2009.

Here is how the first quarter this year compares with the same time period from 2009 in Moreland Hills:

SUMMARY

The first quarter of 2010 has been better in almost every one of Cleveland's east side suburbs compared to 2009. As the numbers indicate, Moreland Hills OH real estate has gotten off to a better start so far this year as well. Adding to the positive news, there are currently 6 homes under contract, with 2 listed over $750,000. 

Moreland Hills sees very little real estate sales in a given year, so the numbers can at times be a little skewed. However, the luxury home market, which was almost non-existent in 2009, has picked up somewhat so far this year. Perhaps the improving economy has given consumers more confidence to make purchases of big ticket items such as real estate.

Moving ahead, we anticipate this year being better statistically than 2009. Only time will tell, but many experts believe that the we have already seen the bottom of the real estate market and better times lie ahead. Although we don't suggest significant appreciation, the fact that the market may have stabilized is in and of itself a good sign as buyers and sellers will have more comfort moving forward with their real estate goals.

Moreland Hills is viewed as one of the area's most prestigious suburbs with average home values consistently among the highest in the area. Moreland Hills shares an excellent rated school system ( Orange Schools, rated excellent by the state of Ohio ) with neighboring communities of Pepper Pike and Orange, and offers distinctive homes on private wooded lots.

 ADDRESS                       LIST PRICE            SALE PRICE

Overall, there were 9 sales during the first quarter of 2008 compared to only 3 this year.

Here is how the first quarter of 2009 compares with the same time period from 2008 here in Moreland Hills:

The beginning of 2009 was generally slow throughout many of Cleveland's east side suburbs. The major difference in the figures from 2009 to 2008 was that there were 2 homes in the beginning of 2008 that sold for around $2,000,000.

Since few homes typically transfer in Moreland Hills, the numbers can be easily skewed when there are periods of time where large sales occur. On a bright note, there are 5 homes currently under contract, most occurring within the last 30 days. This may indicate increased buyer activity.

2008 was a decent year in real estate in Moreland Hills. Despite all of the negativity in the media, it wasn't all doom and gloom here as 40 homes sold in 2008 compared to 43 homes that sold in 2007. Having an excellent rated school system and homes that typically sit on 1.5+ acre wooded lots makes Moreland Hills one of the most exclusive communities on the east side of Cleveland.

In terms of average sales price, home values in Moreland Hills have fluctuated over the last 5 years. In 2008, the average price of a home in Moreland Hills was $483,925. In 2007, the average price of a home was $531,436, which was up from 2006 when it was $500,272.

Market time has steadily increased as well over the last 5 years. In 2004, average market time in Moreland Hills was 99 days. This number has inched upwards and in 2008, it took 130 days, on average, for a home to sell in Moreland Hills.

Moreland Hills Luxury Homes - In terms of luxury homes, which are those that sell for over $500,000 per the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, 10 luxury homes sold in Moreland Hills in 2008, which was exactly 25% of the total number of homes sold. This number is the lowest over the last 5 years. In 2007, 21 luxury homes sold in Moreland Hills, which accounted for almost 50% of all total sales.

Commentary: The problem over the last few years is that sellers had unreasonable expectations of the value of their home based on unprecedented appreciation during the early part of the decade. During the real boom years of 2003-2006, homes in Moreland Hills were statistically appreciating at much higher rates than normal. So, instead of focusing on realistic market conditions, many sellers would price their homes based on the market continuing to appreciate at an unrealistic pace. Many sellers merely priced themselves out of the market and did not properly react to the downturn. This can be evidenced by the fact that more than twice as many homes didn't sell in 2008 than sold ( 87 vs. 40 ).

As the statistics indicate, sellers are still selling provided they are competitively priced to what the market will bear.
