There really is no accurate answer to that question.

There should be - but there is not.

What does “foreclosed” mean?

Is being already run through the Sherrif Sale in Bowling Green . . . . is that foreclosed?

What about homes that the owner has walked away from?

Homes that are foreclosed but no new deed has been prepared/recorded?

Homes that have an owner who has decided not to walk away, but to simply not pay anymore on the mortgage.

“Foreclosed”.  Simple word - many uses.

Right now there are hundreds of “foreclosed” homes in Perrysburg (city and township).

But there are just6 that are for sale on the MLS:

-10760 Avenue Road

-24230 Luckey Road

-7422 Starbright

-7296 Winding Brook

-24918 Fort Meigs

-1802 Whispering Way

-7315 Starlawn

As always, you can find all of the Perrysburg REO (”real estate owned” - aka bank owned) on my bank REO Google maps/MLS mash up at www.ToledoBankOwned.com

6 active MLS listings.

With many, many more to come.

Why?  How?

You might want to read the sad and troubling article in this weekend’s Washington Post about the loss of good jobs in Northwest Ohio, specifically in Perrysburg.   These foreclosures are the result of our jobs and economic policies.

Until those change . . . expect more tears.

Which I only rarely do.

For special Perrysburg properties.

Unique ones.

Different ones.

Like this one at 872 Cherry Street in the heart of Perrysburg.

It has the lot that everyone wants - a “272″.

272 feet deep.  Which gives the owner room to do many, many things.

Farm.  Garden.  Throw a ball.  Add a pool.  Add a pole barn type out building (a BIG shed).  Practice with your 9 iron.  Lots of possibilities.

BUT  -  these “272’s” often come with an old, functionally obsolescent house with an old, old floor plan.

Not here.   A few years ago a builder I know bought one house, sitting on 2 lots.  He knocked it down.  Resplit the lots.  And custom built 2 homes.   This is one of them.

Sideload garage.

$232,500.

Big, bright rooms.  First floor master.  Finished basement.

Even some soft contemporary flair.

All of which makes this house very special.

Perrysburg - a great place to live.  And a great place to sell houses!

Avoid the hassles of the city!

Avoid the noises of the city!

But get a big snow blower and a big lawn tractor.

5 acres, 3 beds, new baths, and a bargain price for 4171 Dowling Road.  Perrysburg mailing address with excellent Eastwood Schools.  $150’s.

Did I mention 5 acres?

No pole barn yet, that is the first thing the next buyer will add.

We call them “Toy Boxes” in male real estate lingo.

You will love this home.  So new on the market there are no photos and no brochures or virtual tours yet.

Tell a buyer you know if you don’t love country living.

This house will make some city slicker very, very happy.

Get me some country living!

Who would have ever thought I would ENJOY living in the country? Not me!

But my wife “pestered” (she really didn’t. she simply kept educating me and helping me to open my eyes!) and after 4 years of procrastination we moved out to the country - Perrysburg Township. Where we love it.

Now I present to you a fine Perrysburg Township farm property. The 100+ acres of farm land is gone - so all that you are left with is 10 acres of barns, trees, a creek, a pond, silos, a pool, and fine country farm house.

Make of it what you will. Ride, shoot, explore, plant, keep some horses. But just know that when you come home from a hard day at work, there is plenty of “country therapy” available to keep you sane and young.

There is a lot more work out in the Township. More lawn to mow. More drifting snow to plow. More things to clean or power wash or kill or cut or . . . but that is actually some of the hidden joys of living in the country that you lose out on in the city.

This house is for sale on Dowling Road. Priced in the $250s’ it is a great buy.

And it will change someone’s life.

Call or email me to see it. You can look at all the pretty pictures at my property website - www.modene.com.
