Ohio Property Values Rise 22%
Ashland County recently completed a full property reappraisal, resulting in an average home value increase of about 22%. Many homeowners have been left wondering if these updated values truly reflect what’s happening in our local market. Some received their reappraisal notices only after informal hearings had begun, a frustration compounded by mail delays—even though the auditor’s office says notices were sent out on time.

It’s important to remember: a higher property value notice doesn’t automatically mean your tax bill will go up in equal measure. In Ohio, property taxes are based on just 35% of the market value, and voted millage rates are adjusted downward to help offset increases. Still, the process has been far from smooth for some. At recent informal sessions in late Q3, homeowners reported waiting up to three hours, prompting the auditor’s office to extend the review period by three days.

If you believe your new property value doesn’t match reality, you can still file a formal complaint with the county review board between early and late Q1 for a closer look.

Navigating big changes like this can feel overwhelming. As someone who’s passionate about guiding people through life’s major decisions—and with a background in process improvement and negotiation—I’m always here to help you understand what these shifts mean for your homeownership journey.

You do not need to renovate anything before you list.

Fix what a buyer clocks in the first ten seconds, which is the dripping tap, the door that sticks in humid weather, the cracked tile by the back step, and the two bulbs nobody has replaced since spring. Leave the kitchen alone unless something in it is actually broken, because a full remodel almost never returns what you put into it.

My free book covers where that line sits, and the link below will get you a copy.

Housing Data Gives Buyers More Leverage
Lately, we’re seeing a shift in housing data that puts a bit more leverage in buyers’ hands. Approximately 21% of active listings in late Q3 had price cuts, and with inventory reaching over 1.16 million homes—about 9% shy of pre-pandemic norms—there’s more to choose from, even if not quite a full return to previous levels. Buyer activity has remained cautious, with homes under contract down about 4% year-over-year for the second month in a row. That’s a clear signal that higher mortgage costs are still impacting what’s affordable for many folks.

The national median list price was around $419,000, a slight dip of 1% both month-over-month and year-over-year, continuing an 11-month stretch of yearly price declines. Price per square foot also eased by about 2%. Sellers, for the most part, are staying in the market—about 6% of listings were delisted, which is steady compared to last year—but we’re seeing more owners adjust prices and open the door to negotiations.

My approach—shaped by years of process improvement, negotiation, and real estate investment—has always focused on helping clients interpret these numbers and trends so they can make confident decisions. As the market continues to adjust, the question now is whether further price reductions will bring more buyers to the table, or if growing supply and cautious demand will extend this period of transition. No matter which side of the table you’re on, having the right guidance can make all the difference.

Falling behind on a mortgage is the kind of thing people keep quiet about for months.

That silence is the expensive part.

Three or four payments down, you still have genuine choices in front of you, including selling the house on a timeline you set rather than one a court sets, and possibly a short sale if you owe more than the place would fetch.

What shrinks those choices is time, not the amount owed.

A lender will nearly always take a call from someone who rings them in month two, and nearly never negotiate with someone who has spent six months not answering the phone.

If this is where you are, it is worth a conversation before it becomes a decision.

United States Needs More Senior Housing
As someone passionate about helping people make confident housing decisions, I’ve been watching the growing need for senior housing in the U.S. very closely. By 2030, Americans over the age of 80 are expected to increase by 5 million—that’s about a third more than today—and nearly double by 2040. To meet this demand, projections show we’ll need 576,000 additional senior housing units by 2030 and 1 million by 2040, which would require $1 trillion in new investments nationwide.

But here’s the challenge: new construction is lagging. Only about 10,000 new senior units are set to start in 2025, just one-third of what we saw in 2021, and around 40% of the current inventory is now over 25 years old. Interestingly, this construction slowdown has allowed occupancy rates to rebound to about 93%, the highest in roughly a decade, with annual absorption averaging 32,000 units.

For older adults thinking about downsizing, the scarcity of right-sized homes and the importance of manageable moving costs are becoming more significant. My background in process improvement and real estate has taught me just how crucial it is to plan ahead—especially as the market shifts. If construction remains slow, finding the right fit could get tougher, making thoughtful guidance and advocacy even more important for those making these life-changing moves.
