Declining Market ~ A Thing of the Past for Michigan

By
Real Estate Agent with Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner

Michigan has been mentioned in many news articles as a state that has more severe

housing problems than other states. With falling manufacturing output and a questionable

tax structure that may not be the most friendly to business, we have seen losses in jobs

and in home prices here in Michigan for the last two years.

I believe we have been in a declining market for a longer period than the

rest of the country and we will see the increase sooner than some areas

of our country, as the uptick starts.

 

Read the announcement that Fanny and Freddie are eliminating the

declining market requirements on appraisals.

 

                                         Good news for all of us.

This is good news for our area not to be penalized for declining home prices in the mortgage market. This should take some of the pressure off for buyers.

We were classified as a declining market and it did make the 95% buyer nervous about buying.
