⚾ Guardians Secure Best Season Start in 25 Years with Sweep Against A's

Who has the best record in Major League Baseball right now? Cleveland. Our team is red hot! Josh Naylor led the Cleveland Guardians to a 6-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics with a three-run double, completing a sweep and contributing to the team's best season start in 25 years.

The win improves Cleveland’s record to 16-6. Naylor, who had celebrated with a two-run homer the previous day, again played a pivotal role, particularly with his clutch hit off A's pitcher T.J. McFarland.

Guardians' rookie manager, Stephen Vogt, praised Naylor for his spirited contributions that resonate throughout the team. The Cleveland bullpen, maintaining a stellar 2.19 ERA, kept the A's scoreless in the final 3 1/3 innings, securing the win. The game also featured a solo home run by Will Brennan, adding to the Guardians' momentum.

🏘️ Home Sales in Mentor Last Week

Last week in Mentor, Ohio, ten homes were sold. Below are the details with regards to the ongoing activity in the local real estate market in Mentor.

🏘️ Home Prices in Major U.S. Cities Double in Under a Decade, Study Finds

A recent study by Point2Homes reveals that in 68 major U.S. cities, home prices have more than doubled in less than a decade. This rapid appreciation has significantly benefited investors but has posed challenges for new homebuyers, especially in cities like Spokane, Tampa, and Buffalo, where prices were notably lower as recently as 2017.

Detroit experienced the fastest price increase, with home values doubling in just under five years. On the West Coast, Irvine, California, saw dramatic rises, with average home prices jumping from $750,000 to $1.5 million in only seven years.

The fourth quarter of 2023 data from the National Association of Realtors shows that eight of the ten highest-priced U.S. cities are in California, with San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara leading at $1,750,300.

Home price growth continues nationwide, with Cleveland, Ohio, recording the highest annual increase at 25.5%. Other cities like Birmingham, Alabama, and Boca Raton, Florida, also saw significant gains.
