Lewis Center home sales by subdivision 2005 thru 2009

• After reviewing the past 5 year home sale statistics as per the tables below:
• 2005 thru 2006 the largest amount of homes and condos were sold in the older established Lewis Center subdivisions such as Oak Creek, Oak Creek East, Villages of Oak Creek, Olentangy Glade, Olentangy Meadows, Summerfield Village, The Shores, Wynstone, Parkshore ,Walker Woods, Retreat at Grand Oaks and Parkview Northeast.
• 2007 older subdivision home sales started to decrease by 2008 thru 2009; there was a noticeable decrease in number of homes that sold along with prices that the homes sold for.
• 2007 thru 2008 a few new subdivisions saw building start such as Alum Crossing, Lake Shore, Little Bear, McCammon Estates, Olentangy Crossing, Wynstone Village, along with the new developed section of Wilshire and TheVillage at Polaris Park.
• 2009 first few months there was a decrease in the number of homes sold and what they sold for, mid-year might have been the turning point, the number of homes sold and prices started to increase, likely due to the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit.  The tax credit has been extended and expanded to include 1st time and repeat home buyers; just need to be in contract by April 30, 2010.  

Pool and Parks

If you currently reside in Orange Township Lewis Center Ohio you know it’s a wonderful place to live. Got to love the township parks and the North Orange Aquatic Center, which was expanded in 2009, the pool addition enlarged the aquatic center by 2,760 square feet. The grand opening of the new pool addition was on July 31, 2009. The added square feet gives township residents the ability to enjoy 25-meter lap lanes, a water sitting area and a water-basketball area which provides more space for adults and teens.

Park and trail expansions 

In 2010 the Orange township trustees budget calls for 2.8 million allocated for park site improvements which will include a Glen Oak Park project and two new leisure trails. The trail near Glen Oak Elementary School will connect to Weatherly Dr. in the Alum creek subdivision and a trail will connect Northpoint Meadows Blvd. to the Loveland parcel.  The East Orange Rd. trail will connect from Walker Wood Blvd. to South Old State Rd., another section will connect from Abby Knoll Dr. to Bale Kenyon Rd. 

 Lewis Center Ohio Growth

As mentioned in a previous post Lewis Center Ohio, Delaware County, has experienced tremendous residential and retail growth from 1990 thru 2010. After the Polaris Fashion Place opened in 2001, the growth just kept on going like the Energizer Bunny… many new restaurants and retail shops opened in the area … in fact in 2008 the Polaris Fashion Place opened the Polaris Outdoor Lifestyle Center which is an open air shopping venue which feels like a small town main street.

So if you are thinking of selling or purchasing a home don’t delay call Karen today to take advantage of the tax credit…
