condos: February 2009 Southeast Michigan Market Report - 03/19/09 11:24 PM
Hard to believe, but we're nearly done with the first quarter of 2009 and the Spring selling season is upon us. The good news is home sales in 2009 continue to outpace 2008 levels in Southeast Michigan. February sales in Wayne County were up 18.4%, Oakland 12.3%, Livingston 27.9% with an overall increase across the MLS of 16.5%. Another good piece of news is that the inventory of homes and condos is way down. Last Summer I had "Search over 70,000 homes..." on my website. Today when I checked the MLS, there were less than 50,000! Average days on the market

condos: Free Money When You Buy A Home...Details on the $8,000 Tax Credit - 03/12/09 04:43 PM
If you've been renting an apartment or leasing a home for awhile in Northville, Plymouth or the surrounding area, this might be the perfect year to buy your first home. In addition to the low interest rates and great deals out there right now, the big advantage to buying before the end of 2009 is the $8,000 tax credit enacted by Congress this year to stimulate the housing market. Unlike the 2008 credit, the 2009 tax credit does not have to be paid back. Here's a great video about the First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit with answers to

condos: Foreclosure Sales Hit the Skids in Wayne County Michigan - 02/02/09 06:29 PM
Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans has stopped all foreclosure sales because there is no way to know which homes are covered under TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program passed by Congress which supercedes Michigan foreclosure law. Last week Evans sent a letter to Michigan's Gov. Jennifer Granholm requesting she declare a state of emergency in Wayne County to address the growing home foreclosure crisis. Today Evans announced that to proceed with sales not knowing whether the homeowner has had an opportunity to modify their loan would put him in a position of violating federal law. Hard to say whether

Did you know that dryers have a life expectancy of 10-25 years? Or that it costs $7,500-10,000 to convert a hot water boiler heater to a forced air furnace? The Pillar To Post website offers a great tool showing the estimated life of appliances and major systems and components in a home. They also estimate the cost of replacing them, as well as the cost of home repairs.

condos: November 2008 Market Report - 12/22/08 01:44 PM
It's been a crazy month with tons of economic news, and lots of it not so good. With the Detroit 3 thrown a lifeline just in time for the holidays, let's hope that the rest of the economy stabilizes soon so people start buying cars again. The local real estate market had record sales again for the 11th straight month in 2008, with an increase of 20.5% over November 2007. Realcomp, our local MLS, reports that 2008 year-to-date sales increased 18.1% over 2007. Oakland County posted the highest percentage sales increase for November at 31.8%. There are a couple

condos: Taking The Leap & Leaving The Nest - 12/04/08 03:57 PM
There has never been a better time to buy your first home than right now. Given the current economy, you probably think I'm crazy, but hear me out. First of all, interest rates are still really great and there are rumbles about them getting better. Second is the first time homebuyer tax credit passed this year. And third, the mortgage is likely to be cheaper than paying rent. Case in point, my daughter. After she graduated from college in May, we started running some numbers in preparation for her leaving the nest. She was looking at between $600-750 per month for

condos: October Market Report - 11/25/08 06:55 AM
For the 10th straight month in a row, sales were up over 2007 for total of 27.7% in the MLS area. With lots of competition from bank & government-owned homes and short sales, owners are continuing to hold their homes off the market until it stabilizes so the number of homes on the market has continued to decline. Homes priced competitively are selling and the number of starter homes (those priced under $125K) sold this year has surpassed 2007. In fact, 53% of all homes sales were below $100K! Activity has definitely slowed with all the market chaos so

condos: First Time Homebuyer Alert, Part 1 - 08/17/08 10:57 PM
If you've been on the fence about whether or not to buy your first home, NOW is definitely the time--before October 1st! The Mortgage Relief program recently passed by Congress goes into effect on that date and eliminates downpayment assistance programs. In fact, many mortgage lenders have already eliminated the option in anticipation for the October 1 deadline. After that date, the only assistance buyers will be able to get is through their family or friends in the form of gift funds. Another perfect first time buyer option ends September 30th. Any HUD home purchased by an owner occupant buyer

In fact, for the sixth straight month this year, the number of homes sold increased 13.1% over 2007 in June according to an article in Crains Detroit Business. However, there has been a lot conflicting press, particularly when it comes to recent sales.
