By now you are likely sick of reading all the bashing that our fine state is receiving
because of the economic conditions caused by job losses in the last several years.
I know I am sick of it. I'm a Michigander born and bred. I've raised my family
here, worked here my entire life, paid my taxes to the State of Michigan, and
contributed to the Metro Detroit economy year after year.
This morning I did a bit of research and was once again pleasantly surprised at what I found.
As of 6:35 this morning, there are 682 homes that are marked "Pending Sales"
in Macomb County alone in one of
our Multilist databases, Mirealsource™.
One that will be marked "pending" later this morning is this beauty --->
(BTW, the beauty to the right is NOT a foreclosure or bank owned home.)
What does this mean?
It means that through the doom and gloom that people in our wonderful state
still need a place to live and are purchasing homes and selling homes.
People still get married, still move out of Mom and Dads home, still graduate from
college, still want to get out of that apartment and all of the other life changes that
happen to precipitate a home purchase.
Are home sales numbers and prices the way they were in 2001? Absolutely not. But then
again, the economic conditions in our fine state aren't what they were back then.
Michiganders are a tough bunch of people. Good hearted people. Strong willed people.
We will bounce back, we will contribute to our economy, we will be part of the good things
that happen daily in our state.
I vow to be a part of it and be here through all of the cycles that take place.
