Central Ohio can expect job gains in 2014

Boom or Bust?

According to economist Bill LaFayette’s annual economic outlook; Central OH can look forward to 18,200 new jobs in 2014.  This is a 1.9 percent increase in jobs and his strongest outlook for the region since he began making the annual forecast 15 years ago. The sectors that LaFayette sees as strong will be:

health care, private education, construction, transportation, professional and business services will do well.  Whereas,  government hiring will continue to be weak, following a similar pattern to that which has been seen since the recession.

BUT

LaFayette also advised that Central OH needs to improve educational attainment, and needed to attract people from outside the state. Small-business formation in central Ohio and in the state’s other metro areas is near the bottom when ranked with U.S. metro areas in small-business start up’s.

What Do I think

January’s housing numbers were down in 2014 at 1337 units sold compared to 2013 at 1458 units sold; also February’s numbers were down in 2014 at 1444 units sold compared to 2013 at 1539. Home owners have realized a 8% gain in equity on their home as home prices have gone up 8% in 2014.

I think Central OH has a lot to offer; but is being restricted by regulations which are effecting the economy and the housing market. This makes it a lot harder on home buyers; and the result is fewer homes being sold which effects the over all growth.

What do you think

“Are regulations concerning  OH Fracking ,Dodd Frank Act,  and Obama Care hurting or helping the Central OH Home Buyer?” Please post your thoughts and advice

When implementing a direct mailing campaign !

When implementing a direct mailing campaign research is the key to sucesses! Choose a ao with at least 1000 properties. Send out mailers to as many addresses as your budget will allow. Find out how many homes have sold in last six months; what they sold for. How many are selling and for what prices. Compute the average time a owner stays at property; target those addresses. Drive the neighborhood; and choose high traffic areas for sign placement to complement mail campaign.

Post cards are the only way to go; but if you do use letters I agree handwriting the addresses is a must without ending up in the dumpster.

 Direct mail campaigns are not a get a lead now strategy; although it may happen. Rather direct mail campaigns take time and repetition. Send out the mailing month after month until you have accomplished your goal. You should expect for every 10 mailers you send out you will get 1 lead; and 20% of those leads will result in listing or Buyer client

It is all a numbers game; just like any other lead generation program. If you have a system and do the work required to implment a direct mailing campaign; the leads and sells will follow.

You build it and they will come.
