livonia michigan: Beautiful Fall In Southeast Michigan - 10/16/10 02:38 AM
Yesterday I had a chance to get out of the office and play some golf. That was good enough but it was made better by the fact that I was on one of the most beautiful courses I've ever seen. Even better, it's right in my own backyard here near Livonia michigan.
I thought I'd take a moment to share.

Michigan Fall Colors
 


 

 
I'll post more at another time.
 
Have a great weekend!

livonia michigan: Good News For Southeast Michigan - 10/07/10 04:07 AM
The old axiom that "Real Estate is local" has never been more true. I read about all the bad news and the declining markets across the country but that's not what I see here.
I've kept careful stats on inventory for the last few years and they're very telling. If you've read my blog before what I'm about to say will be a repeat. If your new listen up.
Price is not what drives the Real Estate market! Price is a lagging indicator. Price follows inventory, which is a leading indicator of the market. As inventory goes up, buyers have more choices and … (0 comments)

livonia michigan: Southeast Michigan Is On the Rise - 01/07/10 01:40 AM
More than likely the only thing you've heard about Detroit in the last few days is that someone tried to blow up a plane over the city. Oh, and maybe about our winning sports teams. The Lions won so much that they took themselves out of the chance to draft Ndamukong Su. They have to settle for the second pick in the draft. But I digress. Ahhem!
The Detroit area really does have some thing to smile about. Our inventory is lower than it's been for a long time.
What? You're not sure how that's good news? O.k., let's go over … (0 comments)

livonia michigan: Did Wrong Actions Lengthen the Housing Crisis? - 11/20/09 02:27 AM
I saw an interesting segment on Fox and Friends this morning. I know, this isn't the hardest hitting news show on T.V. but once in a while they come up with something good.
John Geanakopolos, Economics professor at Yale University talked about how reducing interest rates for existing mortgages had little or no effect on the mousing crisis. His idea is that banks should lower the principle to incentivise homeowners to stay. In a nutshell, a home worth 160,000.00 is now worth 100,00.00. The home goes into foreclosure, takes 18 months or so to be sold again, is torn up and … (1 comments)

livonia michigan: Some of My best Sales Have Come During the Holidays - 11/17/09 04:08 AM
Have you ever heard agents complain that they can't get deals done this time of year? "No one is looking, no one is selling," seem to be the mantra's of this season.
I thought I would share one of my best deals. It came at Halloween. i was going to post this a few weeks back but life got in the way. so anyway, here goes.
It was the day of Halloween. Our office was practically empty. Most agents had gone home or didn't come in at all. I had a buyer that was looking in a particular area of Northville Mi. They wanted … (0 comments)

livonia michigan: Out Of My Thursday Moanin' Mind - Fall Color and Southeast Michigan - 10/29/09 03:18 AM
Usually when people think of fall color they think of New England, especially Vermont or Connecticut. Every year though, northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula and northern lower peninsula are inundated with tourists seeking the brilliant colors of fall. The fall color tours are one of Michigan's biggest seasons. Since I'm posting these so late in the year they may not do justice but at least you get the idea.

I wanted to let people know that Southeast Michiganhas its fair share of fabulous color itself. Quaint towns just outside of detroit like Plymouth and Northvillehave parks and downtowns that flash in … (2 comments)

livonia michigan: Monday Moanin' Market Update - 08/17/09 03:01 AM
Since it's the beginning of a new week, I thought we'd start off with some good news. Plenty of time for the junk later on.  
As I've mentioned a couple of times, inventory in the local Detroit  market seems to have leveled off. For those of you who have been following my blogs this will be old news but for newbies here's a quick refresher.  
Inventory is the leading indicator of the Real Estate market. Prices are the lagging indicator, simply meaning that prices follow the market. Prices indicate where the market was, not where it is. This is … (1 comments)

livonia michigan: Monday Moanin' Market Update: Obama and Nancy, Together Again - 03/09/09 05:36 AM
Well, if you're still bleary eyed from the lack of sleep with Daylight Savings Time, you may have missed the news that Congress passed the "Making Home Affordable Program" which was created to help as many as 7-9 million people who are making every effort to remain current on their mortgage payments.
What do you mean you didn't know it was daylight savings time already? That could explain why your kid was late for school and you missed a big showing appointment. Bit I digress.
There are basically two parts to the plan. One part is to help homeowners with good payment … (0 comments)
