The Toledo real estate market is currently going through a time of oversupply of homes listed for sale. This presents challenges for both home sellers and home buyers.
Selling a home in Toledo now requires a lot more than just putting a sign in the yard and a home listing on the Toledo MLS. The effective home marketing plan will have a heavy emphasis on Internet marketing. According to the National Association of Realtors, close to 80% of home buyers begin their search on the Internet, so as print advertising becomes less relevant you'll find more home buyers in Toledo searching for homes and real estate on the Internet.
For Toledo home buyers there are equal challenges. While there are a lot of homes for sale in Toledo, it can be challenging to find a home that is properly priced and in good condition. Real estate that is overpriced will tend to sit on the market for a long time and, eventually, sell for less. However, there is still a strong demand for homes that are in great shape, properly maintained, and competively priced.
