muskegon: Is the Market Really Headed In the Wrong Direction? - 04/27/12 08:38 AM
Is the Market Really Headed In the Wrong Direction? I don't think so, and I can back it up!
Last week the national news naysayers told us that February sales were down 5.5%! Doom and Gloom! My question is, "Down From What?
Down from last week? Down from last month? Down from last year? Down from 5 years ago? I know that national statistics are interesting, but are they really important? Real estate is local. The local economy effects real estate. Local employment effect real estate. Believe it or not, local weather effect real estate.
Here is some relevant data to … (2 comments)

muskegon: THAT Was an Expensive Secret! - 04/11/12 02:20 PM
Once in a while we are asked to "Watch" a house that is distressed, or in the process of being foreclosed. It is not fun but it is a part of life in West Michigan. REO properties seem to be declining but there are still some going through this in Muskegon, Oceana, Newaygo, Ottawa, and Kent Counties. We drive by and take pictures now and then and may talk with the borrower. We try to learn if they intend to redeem the house or if they are going to just walk away at the end of the redemption period and let the lender … (17 comments)

muskegon: Sell Low? Buy Lower! - 11/21/11 05:27 PM
If you are one of those sellers setting on the fence waiting for prices to climb before you sell, don't wait too long!
Prices have always went up and down and I believe we are at the bottom and beginning the long slow climb out of this lousy economy in Michigan. I don't think it will be anything fast but I have witnessed a 3% climb over the past year in residential real estate here in West Michigan.
Not only are prices stabilizing, Interest rates can hardly go any lower and most likely will begin to climb as well. The difference … (0 comments)

muskegon: Can I collect a commission on that? I Already Did! - 08/16/11 02:13 PM
I believe Realtors must be the most optimistic people on earth, especially here in West Michigan.
My grandpa sold real estate in Muskegon back in the '30s and '40s. My dad sold real estate and was one of the top producers in Muskegon County back in the '70s and '80s. I waited to get into the business until it was taking a nose dive and I really enjoy this business but at times it can be quite discouraging and I begin to wonder. But then the next day dawns and with it a good prospect or two show up and business looks … (1 comments)

muskegon: "The Economy Runs Good When Oil is About $85. a Barrel" - 05/20/11 04:01 PM
I couldn't believe it when I heard his say that. Does it even make sense?Are there that many people invested in oil that it would be healthy for everyone else to dig deep to get to work, school, and stay home during vacations?
I find the phone rings more when the prices are lower. Real Estate all over West Michigan moves better when the price of fuel is lower. People come from all over to enjoy our fabulous beaches and rivers. Waterfront is a large draw for tourism. We have some of the best beaches on Earth!
In Muskegon, Norton Shore and the … (0 comments)
