northville condos: Is a low offer a good idea when buying a Northville home? - 11/02/11 06:16 AM
Is a low offer a good idea when buying a Northville home? My Answer:   While your low offer in a buyers might be looked at, in a today's market (2011) a seller will probably reject it if the home just came on the market.

If so, a cash … (0 comments)

Northville foreclosures where are they?  There are just not many of them any more.  In fact there is only one Northville MI foreclosure right now.

One of my clients thought we were closing tomorrow.  I thought the same thing.  But come to find out the seller (a developer) who has 25 condos and the management association have a disagreement.  The developer was converting over the apartments to condos.
