Michigan - Optimism or Pessimism

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pangburn Properties, Inc.

I'm a firm believer of what comes around goes around and cyclical change is a good thing. 

As forecasts for Michigan continue to be dismal, one can only look for a greater, more prevalant optimistic future for this great State. 

Blocks of real estate can be purchased, in some districts, for pennies on the dollar.  Is this a good thing or is this a bad thing.  Revitalize, Renaissance, Tax Stimulous, Deferred Tax, Decreased Taxable Values, is this a good thing or is this a bad thing.  Optimism or Pessimism - The cup is half full or half empty?

This wonderful State, with all it's natural resources, fresh water lakes and hard working people, have and will continue to make, this State, not only one of the awe inspiring recreational locations in the Western Hemisphere but will continue to be a State with ingenuity, aspiration and insite for the rest of the Nation.  Tiresomely the people of this State endure the endless struggles, overcome those struggles and continue to be the shoulder for the rest of the nation to rely on.  If Michigan can handle it, so goes the Nation....

Eventually Michigan will turn around.  But for now it is a huge buyer's market.  Some banks are pricing homes very inexpensively.  You will be able to buy many homes for $100 a square foot in the metro Detroit area

Kelly, I will hope for you. I do not mean to say this in a bad way. I just like facts. I know it is even hard to rent when you cannot even sell in some parts of MI. I just want everything to turn around and get moving with home sells.

Hey Russ, I've heard that some banks are not even going through with the Foreclosure process and letting the occupants stay in the home until the taxing authority takes the property back.  Is this true??

Hey Susan.  You know, Michigan has seen it's tough struggles, but sales are encouranging.  Buyers are looking diligently.  I'm working with 10 buyers right now.  Some have aweful credit, but some have cash, so, it's about normal as far as I can tell.  The difference is, INVENTORY & PRICES.  Lots more homes to choose from and much lower prices.  If you look at it in an economic view - the market is stimulated.
