The very first book I read that started me on the path to become a real estate investor, was Rich Dad, Poor Dad. In that book, Robert Kiyosaki uses an analogy on how wealth is built.
Think about wealth as water and your finances are a bucket holding that water. Most people have one tap filling that bucket - their job. But they’ve got lots of holes in that bucket - bills, car payments, their mortgage, and **TAXES**. To build wealth, you’ve got to turn on as many taps as possible and close as many holes in your bucket as possible.
Improper tax planning can be one of the largest drains on your real estate investments, so join us on March 20th and lean how to pay less tax! We’ll be covering topics like:
Corporations - When should I incorporate? Should I buy in a corporation? Taxes on corporations? Active vs passive income? Business corps - using profits to invest?
Estate Planning - How do I pass my assets down to the next generation?
Taxation Best Practices - What is building depreciation and why is it important? What is eligible for interest deductibility? How do I deduct the interest of my HELOC?
It’s essential to understand these things even if you only have one property. If you’ve already accumulated a few properties, it’s even more important to correct any mistakes you’ve made. Bad planning can completely kill some investment business cases, home flipping for example, so come learn how to do things right with one of the best in the industry!

For the overall real estate market in Tucson and southern Arizona, the Seller’s Market conditions continue. The inventory of homes for sale continues to decline in 2018, while sales increased further. The shortage of listings has not been a drag on home sales, however it has contributed to a 4% increase in median price. This has created a very competitive environment, especially at lower price points. At the higher end of the market, there has been a measurable increase in luxury sales. The median price of homes in Tucson was $207,250 in June 2018. Prices have recovered to 2007 levels and are
92% recovered from the market’s peak of $226,465 in November 2005.

National 1Q, 2015 Market Overview
A just released report, the Health of Housing Market
(HoHM) Report (Nationwide), states the US housing
market is at it’s healthiest levels since the index’s
creation in 2001. The report showed that the 4Q, 2014
ended with the highest indicator score in over 15 years
at a score of 109.8. Employment, demographics, the
mortgage market, and housing prices are all used to
evaluate the health of each market. The report
ranked the top 10 healthiest housing markets and
ranked the Cleveland area on the Top 10 List, as #2.
The most recent Pending Homes Sales Index from the
National Association of Realtors revealed that homes
going into contract in February increased to their
highest level since June 2013. The Pending Home
Sales Index is a leading indicator for the housing
sector, based on pending sales of existing homes. A
sale is listed as pending when the contract has been
signed but the transaction has not closed, though the
sale usually is finalized within one or two months of
signing.
Realtor.com data shows that supply is not keeping
pace with surging demand. The are expecting rising
prices to persuade those who may be on the fence
about listing their homes to do so in the coming
months, leading to closer parity between supply and
demand.” In addition, Fannie Mae's March 2015
Housing Survey, also showed signs of a seller's market.
The percentage of respondents in Fannie Mae's survey
who said they believe now is a good time to sell
reached an all-time survey high of 46 percent.

6. NATIONAL HOUSING MARKET TRENDS
Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
A big reason for the bright outlook for
the housing market is improved job
prospects for those ages 25 to 34,
commonly known as millennials.
Steadily rising rents are also expected
to drive more buyers to the home
market in 2015. Rents have risen by
almost 11 percent over the last three
years and jumped by an average of
about 3.6 percent in 2014 alone.
"Pending sales showed solid gains last
month, driven by a steadily-improving
labor market, mortgage rates hovering
around 4 percent and the likelihood of
more renters looking to hedge against
increasing rents," said Lawrence Yun,
chief economist for the NAR. "These
factors bode well for the prospect of an
uptick in sales in coming months.
However, the underlying obstacle—
especially for first-time buyers—
continues to be the depressed level of
homes available for sale."

WHERE ARE HOME PRICES
HEADING IN THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS?
Real estate and financial professionals put
tremendous value in the Home Price Expectation
Survey. Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a
nationwide panel of more than 100 economists,
real estate experts and investment & market
strategists about where prices are headed over the
next five years. They then average the projections
of all 100+ experts into a single number. The results
of their latest survey:
Nationally, values appreciated by 4.8% in 2014
Cumulative appreciation will be 23.5% by 2019
That means the average annual appreciation will
be 3.6% over the next 5 years.
Even the experts making up the most bearish
quartile of the survey still are projecting a
cumulative appreciation of almost 15.1% by 2019.
This survey is a fair depiction of future values.

LOOKING BACK AT 2014 AND WHAT IS AHEAD FOR 2015
If you have been watching the local real estate market
in the last few years waiting for things to return to
normal, the time has come. If you have been waiting
for the right time to sell your home (or buy a new one),
this report should guide your on what to look for in the
local Greater Cleveland real estate market this year.
Today, the housing crisis is in the rear window and
many positive trends that began in the last 18 months
have continued with a decline in acceleration.
As we begin the 2015 home selling season, many
important trends have emerged in the local and
national real estate market which will affect home
sales and prices this year. This report will focus on
Northeast Ohio real estate market (primarily Cuyahoga
County west suburbs) with the national results and
trends highlighted as they effect the local market. All
Real Estate is Local... so let’s take a look at what’s
happening in Northeast Ohio!

2014 vs. 2013
9. 2014 Market Summary
The selling price of area homes has continued to
rise since 2010. In Cuyahoga County, single family
home prices in 2014 were up 2.5% from the prior
year. In June last summer, the average sale
price in Cuyahoga County reached $158,000,
which was the highest level they have reached
in 6 years (since July 2008), up 30% since 2008. All
the key indicators show that 2014 was a year of
continued market recovery.
1Q, 2015 Market Summary
The Average single family home Sale Price for 1Q,
2015 is $130,000 up 4.8% from 1Q, 2014. In
addition, the average List Price is up 9.4% to
$198,000 county wide. The median sale price
(most common) was $107,000 up 4.9% from 2014.
According to Nationwide’s recently unveiled,

housing market is at it’s healthiest levels since the
index’s creation in 2001. The Cleveland metro
area was ranked in the top ten in the United
States, ranking at #2!

2014 Market Summary
The number of homes sold in 2014 was down
slightly by 411 homes, or 3.5% overall (versus
2013), but last June had the highest monthly
sales in 5 years. However, the REAL story is
buried in the numbers. The sales of non-distress
homes (non-short sale/REO) were up
dramatically! If you look at home sales
(without short sales), the non-distress home
sales were up 27.5% over 2013. The non-
shortsale inventory also increased 24.5 with
prices remaining neutral. This indicated that
more traditional home sellers have felt
confident selling their homes now that the
market is stabilizing.
1Q, 2015 Market Summary
In March, there were 868 homes sold, up 7.7%
from March of 2014 (806). YTD a total of 2,160
homes have sold up 3.9% from 1Q, 2014 (same
period) last year. However, pending home
sales (the leading indicator), are up 20.3%
which indicates a strong upcoming sales
market for 2015.

Cuyahoga County – Single Family
Past 5 Years
The number of Homes for Sale has
been declining over the past five
years creating a BIG supply
problem and creating SELLER’S
markets in many suburbs due to
tight inventory levels.
In March 2015, we had 4,359
homes in the market for sale,
compared to 7,839 five years ago -
a 44.4% decrease. Homes for sale
are down 2.3% from the first
quarter, 2014.
New listings for the 1Q, 2015 are
down a moderate 4% from the
same period last year.
The 2015 real estate market is
favorable for sellers looking for a
good sale price for their home this
year.

Months on Inventory is defined as
how many months it would to sell
all the current homes available for
sale. The current market inventory
is 5 months which is a slightly a
Seller’s Market. This is a dramatic
change from several years ago.
However, some suburbs are still
Buyer’s Markets and some Seller’s
markets.
Due to the lack of supply, we are
seeing very tight inventory in
several suburbs (see Suburb
Comparison Chart).
In March 2015, 19.9% of homes on
the market were sold and 36.4%
went under contract.

BANK-OWNED (REO) PROPERTIES
ON THE MARKET - 5YR TREND
The number of bank-owned (foreclosed and re-claimed) has been steadily
declining since peaking in Spring, 2011. The REO inventory sold in 2014 was less
than half the amount sold during the peak in 2011. In 2015 we have seen the
lowest levels of foreclosure inventory seen in over five years. This decline of
distress sale inventory has been a blessing to local home owners helping
stabilize property values and return price appreciation in many suburbs. The
decline in distress sale inventory is predicted to decline to pre-recession /
normal levels.

SHORT SALES – 5 YEAR TREND
Short Sales a thing of the Past
The market inventory of short
sale homes (in pre-foreclosure
status) peaked in 2012 during
the Mortgage Forgiveness Act
time period. Similar to REOs
there has been a sharp
decline in the short sale
homes on the market as they
have either sold or moved
into foreclosure. Today’s
inventory of short sale homes
is down 48% since peaking in
Summer, 2010. In addition,
the purging of this inventory
has contributed in reducing
the decline in REO properties
(since they were sold before
the bank reclaimed them)
helping reduce the bank-
owned homes for sale as well.

2015 Expert Real Estate
Market Predictions
1. Millennials will drive household formations. Younger professionals are having more
luck in the job market, which is expected to help more of them jump into home
ownership
2. Existing home sales will increase 5-8% as more buyers enter the market motivated
by a clear belief that both rates and prices will continue to rise.
3. Home prices will rise between 4-5%: Low inventory levels and demand driven by
improved employment opportunities will push home prices up next year.
4. Mortgage rates will end the year at 5% with increases beginning in the middle of
2015
5. Return of the 3 percent down payment. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have
announced new programs lowering down payment requirements helping more
buyers.
6. New-home sales rebound. Sales of new homes are expected to rise 25 percent as
single-family construction picks up traction in 2015.
7. Foreclosures recede to pre-recession levels and REO inventory to decline
sharply: The number of foreclosures is expected to continue to fall in 2015, but
possibly be still high in some pocket areas.
8. Rents continue to rise. Growth in U.S. rents will outpace growth in home values by
the end of the year
9. Zillow predicts more homes selection, continued low mortgage rates, coupled
with an increasingly difficult rental environment. These factors will bring balance
to 2015 and result in smoother sailing for everyone in the housing market...2015
could be one of the best years to buy or sell!

21. REASONS 2015 IS A GOOD TIME TO SELL
As the temperature rises, buyers are coming out ready to purchase their dream home. The spring is a
great time to list your home for sale. Here are five reasons supporting that.
1. Demand is Strong
Foot traffic refers to the number of people out actually physically looking at homes right now. The latest
foot traffic numbers show that there are more prospective purchasers currently looking at homes than at
any other time in the last 12 months which includes last spring’s buyers’ market. These buyers are ready,
willing and able to purchase… and are in the market right now! Take advantage of the buyer activity
currently in the market.
2. Less Competition
Housing supply just dropped to 5 months, which is under the 6 months’ supply that is needed for a
normal housing market. This means, in many areas, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the
number of buyers in that market. This is good news for home prices. However, additional inventory is
about to come to market.
There is a pent-up desire for many homeowners to move as they were unable to sell over the last few
years because of a negative equity situation. Homeowners are now seeing a return to positive equity as
real estate values have increased over the last two years. Many of these homes will be coming to the
market in the near future. The choices buyers have will continue to increase.
3. The Process Will Be Quicker
Banks are requiring more and more paperwork before approving a mortgage. As the market heats up,
banks will be inundated with loan inquiries causing closing timelines to lengthen. Selling now will make
the process quicker & simpler.
4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up
If you are moving up to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now. Prices are projected to
appreciate by over 19.3% from now to 2019. If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will wind-up
costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait. You can also
lock-in your 30 year housing expense with an interest rate near 4% right now. Rates are projected to
increase by about three quarters of a percent by the end of 2015.
5. It’s Time to Move On with Your Life Goals!
Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it is worth the RISK of
waiting as prices and rates are predicted to increase.

This information is used to give you a fair estimate of market value.

23. REASONS TO CONSIDER BUYING A HOME THIS YEAR
1. Interest rates are low - Even a small change in interest rates has a significant effect on
what you'll pay each month and over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Now that the housing market
has stabilized, more and more homeowners are considering moving up to the home they have
always dreamed of. Prices are still below those of a few years ago and interest rates are still near
4%. Current renters (see below) and moveup sellers alike sellers should realize that waiting to
make the move while mortgage rates are increasing probably doesn’t make sense. As rates
increase, the price of the house you can buy will decrease. Here is a chart detailing this point:
2. Qualifications are easier - During the real estate downturn of the mid-
2000s, banks and lenders tightened the reins, and often only the most qualified
applicants could get approved. Post-recession, qualifications have loosened.
Buyers who can't show solid income and a minimum credit score probably won't
be offered a risky interest-only ARM today, however, those with less-than-perfect
credit and minimal funds still have options. The Federal Housing Association
(FHA) minimums are a 620 credit score and a 3.5 percent down payment.

3. Rents are High! - In many markets, rents are rising to unsustainable levels, reports the
National Association of Realtors (NAR). "In the past five years, a typical rent rose 15% while the
income of renters grew by only 11%.“. Today buying is 38% cheaper than renting nationwide, and
buying is cheaper than renting in all of the 100 largest metros. In the Cleveland & Akron metro
areas it is 58% cheaper to buy verses rent.
A great resource to compare what is a better choice for financially for a current renter is to visit

25. REASONS TO CONSIDER BUYING A HOME THIS YEAR
4. Private mortgage insurance fees
are down - Buyers who put less than 20
percent down on their home generally
incur a monthly fee in the name of private
mortgage insurance (PMI). In January 2015,
the government announced lower PMI rates
on Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
loans, which equates to a savings of about
$900 a year. Seventy-five dollars a month
may not seem like much, but every little
bit helps when you're committing to an
investment as large as a home.
5. It's still one of the best investments
out there - In fact, some would say it's
the very best investment out there. Buying
a home is the best investment any
individual can make. "The largest
measurable financial benefit to
homeownership is price appreciation," said
Investopedia. "Price appreciation helps
build home equity, which is the difference
between the market price of the house and
the remaining mortgage payments."
6. It feels good - You know that pride of
ownership thing? It's true. Really. Nothing
compares to the feeling of walking into a
home that's yours for the first time. Or
painting the walls a color other than white.
Updating the kitchen. Making it your own.
Not worrying about your rent being raised.
And, of course, watching your equity grow
over time.

26. THINKING OF SELLING?
HERE’S HOW TO INCREASE YOUR HOME SALES PRICE
Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
Just by making some minor changes you can drastically improve the selling price of your home.
According to industry data and research from Consumer Reports, home sellers may be able to boost
the value of their home by an additional 12 percent with just a few smart pre-listing repairs and
improvements. The selling price impact is according to a new survey of 300 residential real estate
professionals by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. This information is valuable when
selling your home if you want to put a few extra dollars in your pocket. On a median, single-family
home priced at $205,000, that could be a potential gain of $24,600. On a more expensive home,
the profits will go many times higher.
This month is the start of the hot home selling season, so here is a summary of the highest return
improvements based on the data from the top industry experts and my experience working with
home sellers:
1. Clean up the Clutter – Cost range: $0
(DIY) to $2,500 (pro) – Potential return of 3 to
5%. The best advice here is, Start Packing!
Declutter and depersonalize. One of the best
ways to stage your home for someone else to
imagine living there is to get rid of your
personal stuff. Declutter books, pictures,
knickknacks, and anything else that is
exclusively you. Start removing excess
furniture and items from the walls and
furniture. Put away the extra decorations and
family pictures. Kitchen counters should only
have a few items out for all showings. Know
the “Rule of Three” – Knick knacks- such as
candles, books, lamps, etc – tend to look the
best when placed in a group of three.
27. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR HOME SALES PRICE
Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
2. Focus on the Kitchen! - Cost range: $300 to $5,000 –
Potential Return 3 to 7%. Take it from the pros, the kitchen,
more than any other room, sells the home. Over 53 percent of
Realtors will tell you that the kitchen is among the most
important rooms of the home to have looking great before
selling and showing your home. If necessary, make upgrades to
the kitchen. This will depend largely on your budget and the
age and style of the home. New hardware can make a huge
difference for a reasonably small cost. Even small kitchen
improvements will go a long way when selling our home. Limit
counter top items to three – remove extra small appliances (i.e.
toasters, blenders, cookbooks, etc..). Consider removing extra
furnishings – free standing islands, kitchen trolleys and dining
hutches can close in a space. If you cannot remove these
pieces, ruthlessly edit the items displayed on or in them.
3. Create a Beautiful Bathroom Retreat – Cost
range: $300-1,000 – Potential return 2 to 3%. The 2nd most
important rooms for selling your home for the best price is
the bathrooms. First and foremost, make sure everything
is sparkling clean! Remove personal products (tuck away):
Get rid of your ‘stuff’. When selling, clear every surface
of all your day to day care products. Personal items
distracts buyers. Limit counter top decor to a hand towel
and pretty soap dispenser. Make it sparkle: Scrub the tiles
and grout, dust the lights, shine fixtures, and clean
everything. Second, spend a few dollars to get fresh
towels, rugs, and decorations that accent the bathroom
color scheme. New towel racks and shower curtains
should also be purchased if needed. Have your bathroom
look and smell like a spa retreat that any home buyer
would love to enjoy.
28. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR HOME SALES PRICE
Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
4. Paint – Paint rooms (where needed) – Cost
range: $100 (DIY) to $1,000 (or more) by a Pro –
return 1 to 3% (or more). From my experience,
I would call paint “Money in a Can”! For very
minimal investment, you a huge return in
boosting your selling price and speed to an
offer. Paint walls in neutral tones. Real estate
experts will tell you to use certain paint colors
to inspire buyers to put in an offer, and often
suggest that sellers repaint their home in these
hues to create a blank canvas for optimal
staging. Four “go-to” Benjamin Moore colors
that work well include: Shaker Beige, Jackson
Tan, Linen White, and Mellow Yellow. (Most
paint stores can do color matches if you don’t
have a Benjamin Moore store near you.)
5. Exterior Fixes & Curb Appeal –
Cost range: $150 to $7,500 – Potential
return: 2 to 5%. Now that spring has
sprung, it is a great time to get outside
and spruce up the yard. Put some mulch in
the front and clean up the winter yard
debris. If your home needs a power wash
or some paint touch-ups, now is the time.
As the weather gets warmer, put out some
flower pots and make the entry to your
home look welcoming. Many people
thinking of touring your home will do a
quick drive-by first, often deciding on the
spot if it is even worth a look inside.
29. HOW TO INCREASE YOUR HOME SALES PRICE
Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
6. Make your Home “Sparkle” – Cost
range: $0-3,000 – Potential return – “Priceless”.
Clean everything and make it shine! Now’s the
time for a major cleaning from scrubbing floors,
cleaning the carpeting, closets, and more. Add
some aromatherapy to make your home look
and smell fabulous!
Spending a little extra time and a few
extra dollars is a very worthwhile endeavor
to get the best price for your home. Your
home will never look better than the day
your sell it! These extra efforts combined
with a professional marketing strategy
designed to bring in the most qualified
buyers for your home will make your home
selling process more enjoyable and
profitable than you thought it might be.
30. According to data from the National Association of Realtors, 89 percent of buyers use
online tools in their home searches. Rather than waiting for agents to send them listings,
they go online and tell the agents which homes they’d like to see. Here are the top
factors in a successful home online marketing strategy:
1. Professional Photography – “A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words”. Your first
home showing is online, so your home has to win the beauty contest. Great
photographs are probably the single most important piece of any online listing.
Wide-angle Lense Photography of your home is important to make the right first
impression.. It is imperative that your home shows better than others!

31. 2. Social Media Marketing - To expand the reach of your home marketing, your
agent should take to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and
Instagram. Paid social media promotion is a important element of a successful
marketing plan. Facebook is approaching Google as having the highest internet
traffic.
Sample promotions include:
- Facebook Fan Page and Realtor Group promotion
Facebook “Promoted Posts” of your home’s listing and Video to targeted home
buyers
- “Just Listed” Anouncement on agent’s Blog, Fan Page, and LinkedIn
- Posts to community SunNews webpages
- Twitter tweet of new listing
- Instagram photos shared on the web
Social proof and sharing by local homeowners and buyers creates a “BUZZ” around
your new listing and home video and can be a magnet to potential buyers.

32. TOP HOME SELLING STRATEGIES NEEDED IN 2015
3. Online Marketing – Vast online presence (especially as a promoted listing)
on the top sites. Most buyers use Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Remax.com, or other
major portals to find the homes they want to see.
Sponsored promotion of your home and SEO on Google make sure more home
buyers see your home is for sale.

Lisa Humenik, RE/MAX Crossroads * (440)476-4959* AmazingNortheastOhioHomes.com
33. 4. Video Marketing - A video of your home that is taken as a buyer would see your
home when walking thru is the latest tool in real estate home marketing. Buyers are
attracted to video and are much more likely to view the video as opposed to scroll
through screens of pictures of your home. Also, when a buyer calls to see your
home after seeing the video, they are already “pre-sold” and are more likely to be a
qualified buyer for your home. The best videos include narration, music and great
photography highlighting your home’s best features. Video really allows
homebuyers to create that emotional connection.

34. TOP HOME SELLING STRATEGIES NEEDED IN 2015
5. Mobile/Smartphone Presence - Younger buyers especially want to look
at listings on their smartphones, and apps that make it easier for them to
do. All the major portals have apps, as do some real estate brokerages.
Your home’s visual presentation on mobile is more important than ever.
Sellers need to make sure their listing looks great on a smartphone. Photos
should be taken with a high-resolution camera, because that’s what looks
best on mobile. Zillow reported that in January, nearly 600 million homes
were viewed on Zillow’s mobile app. That’s 223 homes per second.
6. Your Home’s Own Unique Website – A dedicated website for our
home will allow your video, pictures, description, and tons of other info to
be showcased in one place. Your home should have its own web address
(URL) which buyers can use to search for your home directly on the
internet, i.e. http://123YourAddress.com. Check out a example at
2883ForestLake.com.
These advanced marketing and home presentation strategies will bring
more buyers in the door and, as a result, a higher sales price. It is
imperative that these are incorporated into a professional home marketing
plan.

and down 3.9% from 103 days in March of last year.
The Sold/Original List Price Ratio Remains Steady**
The Sold Price vs. Original List Price reveals the average amount that
sellers are agreeing to come down from their original list price. The
lower the ratio is below 100% the more of a Buyer’s market exists, a
ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller’s market. This month

market, the Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a more
normalized indicator on the direction of property values. The March
2015 Average Sold Price per Square Footage of $76.7 was down 6.2%
from $81.8 last month and down 3.4% from $79.4 in March of last year.

sellers are agreeing to come down from their original list price. The

ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller’s market. This month
