Cleveland, Ohio Not The Most Miserable City in 2010
February 4th, 2011
It was this time last year that Forbes.com named Cleveland the most miserable city in the country. Every year Forbes takes on new cities and fuels entire populations. I think last year Cleveland gave them the biggest rebuttal they’ve ever heard. Cleveland came out with a furious vengeance and created videos and many articles defending our beloved city and naming the reasons why we’re not miserable. (Listed below)
The Forbes list is back and this year and Cleveland is no longer the “King” of miserable. Instead, Cleveland has moved to the number ten spot for 2010. They rank cities based on numerous things such as their pro sports teams, the weather, the city’s traffic/commute, unemployment, taxes, housing market and more. 
One of the reasons Cleveland has improved is because the Cleveland, Ohio housing market hasn’t seen a big crash compared to other real estate markets in the country. They put more weight this year on things like foreclosure rates and property values calculated over the last three years.
Northeast, Ohio has been through it with sports, Cleveland weather and unemployment. These are some of the things that make us tougher. It gives us more character. We’re strong and united. We’re also some of the best sports fans in the nation regardless of championship rings. That’s true dedication and loyalty…
It’s interesting that Miami made the number two spot on the list. Sunshine, LeBron, the beach, you know, green grass and roses. So what gave Miami the runner-up spot this year? Well according to Forbes, their weather and lack of income tax are the only things keeping Miami from earning the most miserable city championship ring for 2010.
Miami has witnessed real estate prices drop 50% in the last 36-months. Other reasons are massive city corruption in Southern Florida with over 400 government officials being convicted in the last 10-years, violent crime rates, and those lovely I-95 traffic jams. They have the talents of LeBron James in South Beach now so I’m sure everything will be A1A okay, next year….
For the real, die hard Cleveland fans, we know every city has its ups and downs, the good parts and bad. Our sports teams have had their share of both. We don’t wait for our sports teams to do all the defending. We stand by them and support them year after year. Of course we hope they get stronger and win more games. We also want a championship or seven. While we wait, we enjoy supporting our Browns, Cavs and Indians. We might not have the best defensive teams in the NBA, NFL or MLB, (this year) but we certainly do have the strongest, defending residents and fans in the USA. Forbes should add another list to their collection. Cities with the most character, strength, loyalty and pride. Start the research process, Forbes. Ding, ding, ding… We’ll see you next year…
The 2011 Forbes List of Most Miserable Cities In The United States:
1. Stockton, Calif.
2. Miami, Fla.
3. Merced, Calif.
4. Modesto, Calif.
5. Sacramento, Calif.
6. Memphis, Tenn.
7. Chicago, Ill.
8. West Palm Beach, Fla.
9. Vallejo, Calif.
10. Cleveland, Ohio
11. Flint, Mich.
12. Toledo, Ohio
13. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
14. Youngstown, Ohio
15. Detroit, Mich.

History Of Homes Sold in the Cleveland, Ohio Area
Here is a look at the current Northern Ohio real estate market and how many homes have sold over the last so many years/months. You’ll notice that the trend goes down. The same applies to most areas/cities in the United States and we’re all aware of the amount of foreclosures and short sales on the market right now. So how many homes have sold and are selling? We’ve compiled the complete history of Northeast, Ohio.
Notice the housing market time and season over the last three months. Keep in mind in Cleveland and all over the Northeast, sales typically slow or decline somewhat during the winter months and the holidays. Weather does impact the housing market. If Cleveland is having a particularly bad winter, many home buyers will wait it out until it clears. We’ll keep you posted in the next quarter to compare the home sold statistics. Spring is a new animal for real estate. Those numbers will be interesting to watch and a bit more realistic. Feel free to email our RE/MAX real estate experts anytime for a report of your specific area, city or street. We’d be happy to tell you “How the market is” or just answer any questions you may have.

People always ask, ‘How’s the market?” and there are many answers to that question depending which type of market in the Cleveland area someone is in. If you’re a seller right now, the market is still a little slow in general all across Ohio. Make sure you don’t bunch everyone and every house together equally. Each home, market area, seller and situation is different. We’re seeing homes sell in a week for fair market value and great homes that are reduced greatly, sit on the market for months. It just depends on the specific home and circumstances.
There are still a lot of active, motivated buyers out looking to purchase a home. We know because we work with them everyday. We see what they want, need and are looking for. There are also home buyers wondering what’s happening in the Cleveland, Ohio area at the current moment in order to make a decision about buying a home/condo right now or if they should wait. (Search all homes for sale in the Cleveland, Ohio area.)
Interest rates are still very low and they are expected to climb gradually in the future. Some people predict the “bottom” hasn’t hit yet in the housing market in Northeast, Ohio. We’ve seen a hefty drop in the last three to four years and while it may drop a bit more in the future, interest rates will likely rise. This being said, now is a great time to lock in on a great, low interest rate along with a low priced property. There are many properties to choose from. There are private sales on the market, bank owned deals, HUD homes and short sales.
Connecting with a good real estate agent in the Cleveland area makes a world of difference if buying or selling a home. You have to know all of your options along with the best financing path to take. Many people think Realtors say these things all the time lightly, but it is true that now may in fact be the best time to buy a home at the best price and for the best terms.
