real esate: February 2009 Southeast Michigan Market Report - 03/19/09 04:24 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 … (2 comments)

real esate: Free Money When You Buy A Home...Details on the $8,000 Tax Credit - 03/12/09 09:43 AM
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 … (1 comments)

real esate: A Grain of Sale - 01/04/09 10:19 PM
This morning I answered a question on a popular real estate site about how a Livonia MI home could sell so cheaply ($90K) in an area of expensive homes without being listed for sale.
Turns out the home in question was in a new subdivision of about 70 homes so it was purchased through the builder. Upon further investigation, I discovered that after the transaction closed, only the sale of the parcel of land was recorded as the real estate 'sale' on public records. Also recorded was mortgage for over $300K. That doesn't account for how much the Buyer might … (0 comments)

real esate: Remembering the Past...And Looking Ahead - 01/01/09 02:11 AM
Wow, are you as glad to leave 2008 behind as I am?
When I wrote my last post of 2007, I thought we would turn the corner in 2008. Boy was I wrong. An economic meltdown on a national level compounded the financial chaos (as if local Michigan economy wasn't bad enough already). It was enough to make me say good riddance to a year that on the surface seemed like a loser.
But upon reflecting, there were some highlights that made the year great professionally and personally:
my online efforts have yielded a substantial increase in business

real esate: October Market Report - 11/24/08 10:55 PM
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 … (0 comments)

Fresh off the buzz of attending my first tweet-up, I noticed a tweet about a blogging class being given the next morning by Missy Caulk, Michigan's own online real estate superstar. Plus special ActiveRain guest Bob Stewart was going to be speaking. This was something not to be missed. The next morning, the room was packed and overflowing. Not only were agents from her company there, but several of us from the Twitterverse were as well, including Edward Vielmetti, a well-known local blogger who 'live-blogged' the session. He had found out about it by reading a tweet just that morning! The … (6 comments)

I signed up for Twitter this Summer after reading about it on ActiveRain. With only 140 characters and chatty conversations between people that seemed to know each other, I totally didn't get it. As part of the social media webinar assignment, our homework was to log in Twitter and get our feet wet. I was ready to dive in. First, here's a quick explanation from CommonCraft:
I started slowly by searching for and following real estate agents (including Missy Caulk from Ann Arbor and Teresa Boardman from St. Paul), real estate techies and local folks. Gradually I started participating by … (11 comments)

real esate: Hospital Redevelopment Slogs Along - 10/15/08 11:54 AM
I've written about the Northville Psychiatric Hospital redevelopment efforts for over four years now and now there's a new fly in the ointment. A group of local residents have filed suit against the Northville Township Board alleging violation of the Open Meetings Act. The next Township Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night, October 16th which should be interesting. Somehow I don't think we're going to see redevelopment on this 400+ acre parcel anytime real soon.
