Posted • In any industry, when there are more buyers for an item than there are of that item available, prices naturally rise.⁠

⁠

⁠
As the graph shows, while the rate of appreciation will moderate over the next few years, prices will continue rising through 2026.⁠

Posted • In the last few weeks, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate from Freddie Mac inched up to 5%. While that news may have many questioning the timing of their home search, the truth is, timing has never been more important.⁠

⁠
This chart is an example of how even a quarter-point increase can have a big impact on a buyer's monthly payment.⁠

Posted • The Smith-Jessup House was constructed between 1805-1825 by Daniel Smith before its purchase by long-time owner David Jessup. The three-bay facade, fenestration, and strict symmetry are each characteristic of the Federal style. Interestingly, the elliptical fanlight customary to the style was omitted in favor of a jack arch lintel. The building has been the home of the Baroque Violin Shop for the past several decades.

Posted • ca. 1966 The mercurial architect Woodie Garber designed the seminal Garber House for he and his family in 1966. The design reflects Woodie’s appreciation for the Bauhaus aesthetic of Mies van der Rohe, and especially Le Corbusier. In addition to the strict symmetry associated with the International Style, the home features Garber’s trademark cladding of crushed milk bottles, intended to reflect light. Woodie’s daughter Elizabeth Garber published her powerful memoir “Implosion” in 2018 which detailed her family’s involvement in the construction of this significant house. The book also chronicles the shifting societal trends of the 1960’s and the subsequent demolition of Garber’s Sander Hall at the University of Cincinnati. The Garber House remains as a symbol of the architect’s uncompromising commitment to the tenets of modernism.
