Zherdev has been setting the Nationwide arena on fire this year. Burnham Square has been a very popular condominium complex for the Columbus hockey team due to its super close proximity to Nationwide Arena (about 100 yards). Nikolai purchased a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1958 square foot condominium at Burnham Square in 2006 for $457,000. Other notable residents of Burnham Square in the Arena District are Pascal LeClaire at $492,000 and Kristian Tollefsen at $445,000.

Posted by Mike Parsons
August 29, 2007 at 08:09 PM

9/15/07-We will be hosting a FREE Home Buying Seminar for first time buyers. We thought we would do this class to help first time buyers feel more comfortable going through the home buying process. Often, buyers haven't done the necessary research and aren't prepared for their home purchase. This course is designed for those that hope to buy within the next year, but maybe not tomorrow. It is intended to give home buyers the basics so that everything isn't thrown at them all at once when the time comes to buy. This discussion is intended to disregard the hype and talk about the real issues that are important first time buyers. Subjects that we will talk about are:

1. Typical Steps in a Real Estate Purchase including financing, home search, making and negotiating an offer, to inspections, insurance for your home, and closing on your home.
2. How do I apply for a mortgage loan? What things do I need to be aware of when applying for a mortgage?
3. The biggest mistakes first time homebuyers make in Columbus, OH.

We will have an open forum for any questions big and small after the presentation.

The Free Homebuying Seminar will be held at Park National Bank located 7140 N. High St. Worthington, OH 43085 (Just South of 270 on the corner of Wilson Bridge and High). It will begin at 10am and will go unitl approx. noon depending upon the amount of questions. Light refreshments will be provided. Please call or email to register your seat. 614-523-6818.

Condo vs. Home, What is the best investment?

The answer is, It Depends! Location. Location. Location. 3-5 years ago condominium complexes like Bethel Village (corner of Sawmill and Bethel) appreciated a little more per year than many well-to-do, surrounding single family homes. Due to economies of scale, and developers finding greater profit in condo development, we have seen many new condominium projects built on Columbus's North arch and downtown areas. This has transplanted a lot more condo inventory into the marketplace in the last couple years. When supply rises, demand falls. When demand falls, price appreciation will slow.

Many buyers struggle with whether they should buy a condominium or a single family home. A common objection for condos is thinking that a condo fee is throwing money away.
