foreclosures: Life is Too Short to miss Spring in Saugatuck, Michigan
- 04/04/08 02:23 PM
Spring is here! Or at least it feels like it. The snow has all melted and the birds are back. This is a beautiful time of year to be alive and in Saugatuck! The willows are greening up and the ice on Lake Michigan has disappeared! Today it was even warm enough to be out with only a light jacket. The cars with the Illinois plates are all over town. That is a sure sign of Spring. one
Come on over for the spring flowers. The photo on the left is of my great grandfather's apple tree - one of the few that have survived from his orchard. … (6 comments)
foreclosures: What to expect when your buyer purchases a foreclosure? in Allegan County, Michigan
- 03/08/08 08:25 AM
What can your client expect when he purchases a foreclosure? They can expect a really good deal when they finally locate their property. What else can they expect? They can expect quite a bit of work as they look and a lot of frustration in the purchasing process. You, as their agent, can expect even more. Since December, three of my clients have purchased foreclosures in Allegan County, Michigan. One was in Clyde Township, one in Ganges Township and one in Saugatuck Township. Buying a foreclosure is like walking on hot coals to reach the treasure - It can be compared to an Indiana Jones … (7 comments)
foreclosures: Lake Michigan homes from South Haven through Saugatuck to Holland, Michigan - Market Study 2006 -2007
- 02/04/08 07:08 AM
If you have always wanted a home on the western shore of Lake Michigan because it is always more enjoyable to watch the sunset rather than the sunrise, there are a lot of choices - sixty to be exact -between South Haven through Saugatuck and up to Holland. These properties are either on Lake Michigan or have deeded access to Lake Michigan. They range in price from around $200,000 to well over $2,000,000. Two of these sixty properties are in foreclosure - one with 100 feet of private beach for under $950,000, and the other one is listed for $225,000 with deeded access to the lake.

foreclosures: Foreclosures - Where have all the people gone (Part II)
- 12/20/07 03:42 AM
This is a continuation of my last blog - Foreclosures - Where have all the people gone. Recently, I have shown a number of foreclosed properties in Holland, Michigan, and in the Saugatuck area to my clients and several of these have been purchased by my clients. Everytime I go into one of these properties, I wonder, "Where have all the people gone?" and what were they like. Each foreclosed property has its own personality. Sometimes the anger of the past occupants shows as they have damaged the home by removing the sinks and other fixtures or vandalizing the walls and floors. I hope these people can let … (4 comments)
foreclosures: Foreclosures - Where have all the people gone?
- 12/19/07 03:54 AM
Could you let me know where your clients and neighbors who have been foreclosed upon gone to? We have quite a few foreclosures here in Michigan. The only person I have known who was foreclosed on moved to Phoenix for another job. NPR recently reported the numbers of homeless have increased and now include more families than ever. I would appreciate some responses to this for an unofficial poll. The only three options that I can think of for these people would be: move to another state or elsewhere for a job,move in with relatives,or homelessness.

Although the City of Saugatuck and the City of the Village of Douglas seem to be holding their own in the number of sales of homes and condos the last six months of this year as compared to the same time frame last year albeit the total dollars spent are less as reported in my last market condition report, the surrounding townships are offering even better values In the last six months in Saugatuck Township, Laketown Township, and Manlius and Ganges Townships, not including Saugatuck City, Douglas or Fennville, there have been 78 sales of single family homes for a total dollar amount of $19.2M. … (2 comments)

If you are thinking about a retirement or second home in the Saugatuck or Holland area, now is the time to make your move. Two of my clients recently purchased condos in Holland at a considerable discount from previous years. There are nice, roomy condos in Holland available for under $100,000. Other clients have been picking up estate properties and foreclosures as investment and rental opportunites at considerable discounts from previous years. As long as you do not fall in love with a property and can take one of several choices, you can locate your home at a good price. If you are willing to accept the property … (1 comments)
