Fortune Magazine recently put out a list of the top 10 housing markets ready for a fall. Note that NOTHING IN Michigan is on the list. Honestly it is probably because we’ve already ‘been there and done that.’ In Oakland County and South East Michigan we are on the other side of a correction and now other markets are seeing what we experienced in 2006 when we went through it ourselves.

To see the top 10 markets and read Fortune's predictions for Oakland County Real Estate, read What Goes Up, Must Come Down.  But At Some Point it Lands on miOaklandCounty.com

MF ~ That is good news for Michigan and I see Colorado is not on the list.  I feel sorry for the folks in the hard hit areas of Las Vegas and California.  Florida looks pretty bad too.  :(

Hey, how do I get one of those swanking name tags.  Did Mark Flanders make it?  Or did you?

No need to worry about lil ole Las Vegas.  I think the builders have helped us out a bit by cutting down on building as much as they can as fast as they can.  In a measly three-four weeks we went from standing inventory a-plenty in the entry level market.  Today I found two standing inventory homes in the South/Southwest/Henderson area.  Builds are now 6-8 months out.  Absolutely amazing.  I cant wait for it to trickle into the resale market.  I honestly didn't think we would see this quite so soon.  Buyers have been coming out of the baseboards like cockroaches since Jan 1

activeRich, she did fess up in an email.  KK is the last person to steal someone elses work.  I think she was protecting the source so he would not be overwhelmed with requests.  I was about to make one myself.  Can you put in a good word for me????

Of course you know I was attempting humor here? A poor attempt perhaps?

Anything for you!  :)

We can ONLY hope we have hit the bottom and are going to rise from the dust.

Maureen, I checked out the link and found this at the bottom (whew!) of the Forbes list:

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -4.3 percent -4.3 percent

Not good, I guess, but not as bad as some predictions that had been made a year ago.  At least no one can say we aren't consistent!

I guess my comments must need improving.  ;-)

Can I create that using PhotoShop Elements?
