northville mi: If you are going to be stupid, doesn't mean I have to be - 09/24/18 05:31 PM
Yes sometimes we have home buyers in Michigan that won't listen.  That's what the title "if you are going to be stupid, doesn't mean I have to be stupid too" is all about.  I don't want to be mean, or rude so you have to let the buyer down gently and FIRE THEM.  Every once in a while we get a buyer that is smarter than us, that is looking for that great deal, and refuses to listen to reason.
Let me give you my latest example.  I was looking for homes for sale in Northville Michigan in the $550,000 to $700,000 … (1 comments)

northville mi: Northville real estate 11/8/2012 - 11/08/12 12:12 AM
I thought I would give you a quick look at what has happened in Northville real estate in the last year as of November 8, 2012.  The Northville real estate market has been hot.  There is a limited amount of mes for sale due to less foreclosures, less short sales, and less people moving up to different homes.  So with less homes on the market and high demand for Northville homes prices have been creeping back up.
As you can see from the table below the $100,000 to $500,000 market have been selling on the average of less than 86 days on … (0 comments)

northville mi: Northville real estate update May 2012 - 05/07/12 10:58 PM
With spring of 2012 has come the hot Northville real estate market.  There are just so few homes on the market that it has become a sellers market.  It is a great time to sell your home.  If you are a buyer then it is a lot tougher to find the home you want.  
Be prepared to get into bidding wars, losing houses before you even get to see them or put into a bid.  The Northville real estate market is that hot.  I listed a Northville house a couple of weeks ago and it sold in 3 days.  We had four … (0 comments)

northville mi: Northville real estate - 04/19/11 06:45 AM
 Some Northville real estate is moving quite quickly if you look at the table below.    Look at the column that says DOM (days on market). Some of these Northville homes have sold in 2, 3, or 4 days on the market.  That means that had time to negotiate the sale and accept it in less than four days!   You will notice that the ones that have been on the market a long time sometimes are short sales or on major streets.
Also you will notice that many of the Northville homes that sold within two weeks sold close to list price.  … (0 comments)

northville mi: I lost $200,000 on my Northville home - 09/20/10 03:34 PM
Yes I heard on of my friends utter the words "I lost $200,000 on my Northville home".  This guy is smart.  He is retired and wasn't ready to sell back in 2004 at the top of our Metro Detroit real estate market.  Now he is thinking of looking for a home in Florida.
But he won't sell his piece of Northville Real estate because he has lost $200,000.  It doesn't matter that he wasn't ready to sell or couldn't sell 4 years ago.  It doesn't matter that he won't see his house come back to that high value in the next … (1 comments)

northville mi: To buy a New Northville home or not - 09/16/10 02:46 AM
Should you buy a new Northville home or not?  What are the downfalls of a new Northville home?
You can buy a new Northville home for just about the same cost as an existing Northville home that is a few years old.  The issues are what isn't included in the sale of the home.
For example:
Is landscaping included? Is a deck included?  What is included in the base price?  Do you need to pay for a bunch of upgrades like granite counter tops? Do you have to pay a lot premium? That is what is going to cost you.  I … (0 comments)

northville mi: Northville relocation - Northville real estate - 08/08/10 04:06 PM
Here is some information if you have a Northville relocation in your future and a little bit about Northville real estate.  Most people talk about Northville as one entity but it is really two different communities; The City of Northville and Northville Township.  The city of Northvilleis not very big and has a historic area that has many Victorian homes.  Whereas Northville Township has many high end newer subdivisions and lower taxes.
But for this article let's consider Northville as "one community" because most people that live there do.  Within five - 10 minutes of Northville you have two good sized malls.  There is plenty of … (0 comments)

Or am I losing it?  I guess I don't understand what some people are thinking anymore.  Metro Detroit has been hit hard but some people just don't get it.  Here are some examples of the craziness.

northville mi: A day in the life of a Metro Realtor - 04/22/09 02:38 PM
Well it was a very interesting day.  I was closing on a Detroit multi family home today.  The closing was taking place in Northville.  The seller and I got there about 5 minutes before the closing.  Well the closing time came and no home buyer.  We waited 10 minutes and then I called my home buyer.  NO answer.  I called again in five minutes.  No answer.  I called again no answer.  Finally my investor called.  It was like he wasn't worried about being there!

northville mi: Northville homes for sale - what a home - 02/07/09 10:24 PM
Northville real estate
So many times people believe foreclosures are the best buy, the best deal.  But that is not always the case.  Below is a Northville home that I think is an excellent value for the dollar. Some Metro Detroit foreclosures need a lot of work.  Sometimes the need:
 updated kitchens updated bathrooms carpeting new furnace or just lots of maintenance and work So sometimes an updated home, a home that has lots of extras is a better value than a foreclosure.  Here is one example of a Northville home that I believe is better home and worth more than many … (2 comments)
