I grew up in Parma, lived in Brook Park for 9 years under the secondary runway, trust Parma is not that bad. Since Chevy and Ford left, not that bad with polution either, if you want to say that about cars running in winter why not say anywhere that's cold? You are Right a lot of houses are older, but better built! with small lots, but there are some that are larger towards the south end of the city. The sale tax is the same regardless where you live in Cuyahoga county to single Parma out for a sales tax is not right. This was really misleading and not fair to Parma or entirely correct, a little research and you could have given a much better and well informed on the pros and cons of living Parma.

You are WAY off!

I remember a couple Cleveland late night celebrity's mentioned Parna quite often.. Probably wouldn't get away with it today but gave us some good laughs back then...Hahaaaa....haha

BrianKemp needs to be a man and ignore Trump!

People in Parma are Different . Not in a Bad way , just different . Tiny Post war houses , all built in a hurry . Love Parma - but has it's drawbacks

You are dropping some gems. Thanks for sharing! I would love the guide

Man parma police do not play issue wit parma high rent cleveland crime mostly teens moving up getting kids hooked on bad dope and yeah ya gotta watch younger kids wit pervs but lorain ave in cleveland is disgusting and dangerous so parma is nice its tge ignorant teens and crabby old folks but parma police do not play no that and i personally think they are the best in ohio very brave like the good ol cleveland police the ones that didnt get involved in fraud yet

Just be happy with owning nothing, and be a nation of renters, thats what america wants for their citizens "remember line must always go up"

Agents for years were taking 3% from sellers and not showing their homes if they didnt i dont think realtors understand people very well. The fact that real estate agents were charging percentages instead of flat fees is mind boggling and i never understood how they could manage to steal from ones investment

Yes, we can have tornadoes so a basement would be great. It doesn’t have to be finished. I’m at a loss for how much this would cost with a foundation basement instead of slab on grade. We need a basement but not sure how much the cement will cost.

Does that price include the basement. I am in Southern Minnesota and the builders are crazy high per square foot.

Nothing will change listing agents have always represented both sides of the sale no split Buyer pays there closing costs as in escrow fees

I live is Asia town and the airplane noise was worse there than in Parma. The flooding is awful and some neighbors are bonkers. Also, the old style homes and the neighborhood layout is walkable and convenient when compared to Strongsville or Seven Hills.

My stepdad used to live in Parma and he worships the police. The airport doesn't bother me, but everything else he said makes perfect sense. We live in Fairview Park, but we have a little bit of land, although the houses are right next to each other.

If buyer doesn’t need or want representation, how to they get in to see the house? Do they wait and hope for an open house or forced to pay 1-2% just for agent to open the door? Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Nice home....is the main flooring engineered hardwood or is that cheap plastic LVP stuff?

I grew up in Parma. Lived there til I was 30. There are parts of Parma that have lower air quality for sure but living near Padua high school it was actually a great area. Yes you’d probably want to get along with your neighbors since you’re practically living “with” them lol. But back when I was growing up there, all the neighbors looked out for one another and we were all friends. So it was really nice. Airplanes never bothered us. Sometimes we could hear them, but most of the time it was quiet. The view from the top of State Rd hill was beautiful. On a clear day you could actually see the lake. But I know times have changed unfortunately and things are probably different now. I’d give anything to have that simple life that we had back then, with swimming pools, cookouts, walking to the mall etc. but regardless I think Parma still seems to be a pretty safe,clean area.

I thought the big problem with Parma was flooding!

I love this model. How much does it cost to build in Ohio?

Born in Parma lived there till I was 2 raised in North Royalton till I was 13 haven't been there r years but yeah that's normal

gosh where do you look,to retire to 2 bedroom,1 and half bath 1,2-1,500 sq ft home

,on pricey side ,thou makes me sad

I lived in parma from age 10 till i was 21. . Moving to Brook Park. .and you can hardly hear the planes in parma compared to Brook Park. . In fact i dnt remember it ever bothering anyone.

It has changed so much for better and worse but I do kind of miss the 2000s of Brunswick. The traffic is awful but people are fairly nice, the winters are super tame anymore with rain for 95% of it but spring and summers can be like a step down from Florida summers though it is a shame to see a bit more crime than usual and some weird vagrants. If you can work from home or are just rich and want to live in Brunswick (for some crazy reason lol) then its probably suburban paradise otherwise I would say its not bad especially if you want to raise a family.

just moved here from North Royalton 6 months ago and love how close everything is, the traffic to me is not bad what so ever and love how the community is it’s own little bubble. Excited to see the future of this place

Great content bro

I love living in Medina Ohio the schools are great and all of the cool shops on the Square. It’s all great.❤

This guy shouldn’t be in real estate. If you buy now you will lose your ass.

Yes, I'm waiting! My present home is paid for.

Well, was born and raised in the Polish Village/St. Charles area of Parma, but relocated/downsized to the Midtown/Broadview area of Parma 10 years ago, due to an aging family. Needless to say, this might be a better area of Parma due to all the access to shopping and restaurants, and a more direct area to Downtown/work. So I don’t really see any complaints here.

that downtown ,Nnice

I grew up in Cuyahoga Falls. It was great then and it's even better now!

Over it...people getting into bidding wars over project houses. Crazy. Ready to say the hell with it and reinvest in my biz.

I will disagree slightly. When you think about it from a certain point of view the fees came from the buyer. They paid the seller to buy the house. The seller then was charged a fee that was split up. The money always came from the same place now it is being shown differently. This is what buyer agents need to know and say when they are asked about the fee on the agency contract. .

"A house sells itself." Wow! The first honest agent I've come across! All the agents I've talked to say they can get me more money than others 😂

Great info! Most agents only talk about an escalation clause or pay more money

11 percent isnt worth suffering the poor quality of life.

Beautiful Home!

It's medina oiho A texas Bad neighborhood Gun shooting

Great job Anthony - what an awesome property!

When a James Bond villain starts giving housing advice you listen

I would like a checklist! Thank you.

I will live in a trailer before I go upside down in another house!! We were upside down on our house in the mid 2000 bubble burst, it took 10 years for us to be able to sell & just break even!! DO NOT get in a bidding war & Pay WAY over the already inflated asking price! You Will Regret it- especially, at these High Interest Rates, High Property Taxes, High HOI & & High maintenance upkeep!!!!

Very sound advice! It is a dog eat dog out there in the real estate market. Do not let FOMO spur you into buying a house, especially if your ducks are not lined up in a row financially. We waited for years on the sidelines to buy a house. Sometimes timing is everything too, when the right house comes up and your RE agent has some tricks up their sleeve to make it happen then it could all work out in your favor. With our personal home buying experience, we won out due to timing and a lot of luck. Getting the house that meets all your needs and the right price, and location is truly like winning the lottery in this market. Brunswick is such a location with low inventory. Set up RE Apps to send you daily new emails with new listings that meet your home search criteria. Keep looking every day, multiple times a day and something will be on the market but you got to let your Agent know and pounce!

You gave the same sound tips our RE Agent gave us when we started looking. Location is really important when buying a house. We wanted to be in a good school district, not far from major shopping and close to family, ( a tall order!) Second, the house has to meet your must haves. And we had another tall order of must haves for our house. Can we afford this house is also really important. We crunched a lot of numbers. Property tax is the biggest factor to consider for us personally. Property taxes are locked in once you buy a house in California, thanks to Prop 13. In Ohio they can go up to each time your house is assessed. Try not to let emotions rule your clear thinking, NOT getting emotional about the house is really hard! When you walk in the front door and you know it ticks all the boxes. I had that "this is the one" feeling when we virtually toured our house, we didn't even have to physically be there! So making an offer is such a nail biting experience, part of you really wants it to happen but part of you has to talk yourself down to being realistic if your offer is not the winning bid. Part of you is scared that you are making a mistake and it is so much money, more money than you would ever spend at one time! Never forgo inspection, our house is 25 yrs old, the inspection report was about 100 pages! A lot of minor stuff that was easy to fix and repair. However, the A/C and furnace is original to the house, that will be expensive if and when they decide to fail. That's my personal experience, it is a rollercoaster of a process, it is stressful. I don't know how we got so lucky and survived with our first house on the other side! I hope more people discover your channel. It is really good and helpful.

You mean well but you shouldn’t ignore the fact that the base price includes nothing of luxury. The model you are showing is closer to $900k. Also, Schumacher will add $100k between excavation and location premium at your first meeting. This is a great build but their advertised prices are a bit scammy.

It's the same reason wages have not grown. People are greedy. Very simple. I didn't even watch your video because I already know the answer.

We looked at two houses, the second one had everything we wanted and the location was perfect. I absolutely agree to listen to your agent. Our agent was phenomenal she knows the CLE market like the back of her hand, the house had multiple offers, she suggested an escalation clause with a home inspection up to a certain $ amount and a decent earnest money deposit. The sellers wanted a quick close within 30 days. Having cash down payment also made our offer more competitive because we could close when the sellers wanted. The House was only on the market for three days! One bit of advice to take home is the list price is just a suggestion. 😂 We looked at the house on Sunday, made an offer Sunday night and within a half hour we got the house because of the escalation clause beating out the highest bid. Shocked and elated to have won the bid on our first try. It is very competitive, especially if the house is turn key with a nice fit and finish. Great video for people who are not familiar with the Cleveland housing market, like myself. 👍👍👍
