Toledo Regional Association of REALTORS Housing Report
Notes for Reading the Report The data we use is publicly available and statistically valid. Our interpretation of the data in some cases may lead to judgments that we believe are sound, but you may disagree with. If so we invite your comments (email: megan@toledorealtors.com) that way we can continue to improve this annual report. Unless otherwise noted, data presented in the text and figures are for Lucas and Upper Wood County, which includes the cities of Rossford, Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township. All data is the most recent available at the time we compiled the report. Median is a term used often in this report and is an important term to understand. A median is the amount at which exactly half of the values or numbers being reported are lower and half are higher. A median can be more or less than an average, which is the amount derived by adding the total of all values being reported and dividing by the number of individual values. So a median home price, for example, is the price of the one home, among all prices being considered, that has half of the other homes that are less in price and half that are more in price. In many instances, including reports of home prices, a median can be a more accurate representation than an average, because the sale prices of a few extraordinary houses will significantly raise the average, but have little effect on the median. Research for this report was conducted principally by the Toledo Regional Association of Realtors (T.R.A.R.). MLS refers to the Multiple Listing Service. It is a member-based service administered, operated, and paid for by the Realtor members of a local real estate board that indicates the cooperation among Realtors to share information about homes and real estate for sale or rent. The following is a research tool provided by the Toledo Regional Association of Realtors and is based on residential real estate data only. This representation is based in whole or in part on data supplied by the Toledo Regional Association of Realtors and the Northwest Ohio Real Estate Information Systems (NORIS) Multiple Listing Service. T.R.A.R. and NORIS do not guarantee and are not responsible in any way for its accuracy. Data maintained by T.R.A.R. and NORIS may not reflect all real estate activity in the market. 2

Message from Penny Kice TRAR President Despite his forecasted increase in sales, Yun cites rising mortgage rates, home prices outpacing wages and shaky global economic conditions will likely hold back a stronger pace of sales. This year the housing market may only squeak out 1 to 3 percent growth in sales because of slower economic expansion and rising mortgage rates, Yun says. Furthermore, the continued rise in home prices will occur due to the fact that we will again encounter housing shortages in many markets because of the cumulative effect of homebuilders under producing for multiple years. Once the spring buying season begins, we ll begin to feel that again. Of course, all real estate is local and the Northwest Ohio market is expected to remain strong in 2016. Following the housing market s best year in nearly a decade, existinghome sales are forecasted to expand in 2016 at a more moderate pace as pent-up buyer demand combats affordability pressures and meager economic growth, according to the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. 4
