- 07/21/08 10:27 PM
Disclaimer 1: I don't market homes that are in a short sale position. Why not? I don't have the expertise and feel strongly that anyone who works with sellers in this situation should know what the heck they are doing!Disclaimer 2: I haven't had a buyer make an offer on a short sale. Why not? All of the home buyers I've worked with this year have had time frames that needed to be met to be in to their new homes. After reading much about short sales, and listening to real experiences being told by the agents who are working with … (8 comments)

Chatting with a friend yesterday about how much the real estate market has changedin the last 5 years had me curious for clarifying data. I took a peek this morning in Mirealsource™ to see the hard numbers during the monthof April in 2003 compared to what we are experiencing now in the housing market in Aprilof 2008. I chose Chesterfield Township in Macomb County as my target area and thisis what the 5 year snapshot looks like:
A couple of things startled me when I first saw the numbers as I entered them into the graph. First, the number of homes sold was … (10 comments)
A month or so ago I met you at your home and we talked about the real estate market in your area. Actually, we talked extensively. I listened to your questions, answered them to the best of my ability, and asked questions of my own such as: Do you need to sell? What will happen if you don’t sell? We spent quite a bit of time together reviewing not only the homes that did sell within the last 90 days, but those that would be your competition … (19 comments)
homes for sale: Advisory committees for banks / REO managers?
- 04/05/08 10:03 PM
Late yesterday afternoon while driving home after showing homes I had one of those “lightbulb” moments go off inside my head. (No jokes from the peanut crowd please) All of the homes I viewed were bank foreclosures with the exception of one lovely home. I jotted down notes on each home and realized that there were common issues as to why these homes have not sold and it wasn’t the price. If I was ever asked to sit on an advisory committee to banks & REO managers I would give them this advice: Keep the electricity on. Many homes in … (19 comments)

- 02/27/08 09:27 PM
A phone call the other day illustrated to me once again how quickly our real estate market here in Macomb County is changing. The gentleman who called told me that he had been on my website frequently and had his eye on a bank owned home that was on the market. He said that he had been watching it weekly waiting for a price drop before he would call me to ask to see the interior. From the subject line of this article you can all guess what took place. While I was on the phone with him I looked in the … (22 comments)

Fewer homes hit the market which means that the "supply anddemand" may soon swing back to a … (0 comments)
homes for sale: Rain? Snow? Why should I view homes in bad weather?
- 10/14/07 10:32 PM
It's getting to be that time in Michigan. Home buyersbegin to believe that perhaps putting off their real estateplans until the spring would be a wise idea. After all, who wants to go from home to home bundledup like Richie in the Christmas Story? Why in the world would we want to wear rain coats and carry umbrellas to and from our cars into each home? I can give you 2 very good examples of why horrid weatheris a perfect time to browse homes on the market in Michiganand the Metro Detroit area. 1) Michigan homes often have basements. As one home inspector years ago said tomy buyers: "Basements … (18 comments)
