I received a referral from Missy Caulk this week.  (Thanks Missy)  The couple was from California and wanted to buy a lake house in Michigan near Metro Detroit.  We have many great all -sports lakes near Metro Detroit.  There is Walled Lake, Wolverine Lake, Lake Sherwood, and White Lake. We saw quite a few nice Michigan lake homes in the $200,000 - $400,000.  It was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining, the weather was great for looking at Metro Detroit Lake homes.  We saw an old cottage that had a Michigan basement.  We saw another that the people were in trouble and we having to sell the lake home as a short sale.  We saw several on Walled Lake, but the clients liked Wolverine Lake homes better.  The clients did get a little nervous after talking to a homeowner.  The homeowner actual...

     Is it a good time to buy?  You better believe it and not only because home prices are flat or because sellers are willing to negotiate but because no one can predict what the mortgage market will look like "later". Now is full of knowns where later is full of unknowns with all the restrictions taking place.       Mortgage markets are seizing and lenders have no choice but to limit what they will lend and to whom. Lender are going overboard with all their restrictions and changes in guidelines it makes it very difficult for a Realtor to sell a home these days but what is worse is getting that message to the buyers.  For some time now all I ever hear is it hasn't bottomed out yet I think I will wait until it does and not realizing what is about to hit them soon into the future.  If t...

Some Links temporarily disabled 9/16/2007 There are Four Factors that affect the sale of any home. Those Four Factors, illustrated to the right, determine: How Fast Your Home SellsHow Much Money You ReceiveIf, Your Home Sells At AllNot all agents take the promotion of your home seriously. And, in certain markets they don't have to. For instance, there are professionals that follow what I call the Use-Less Marketing Service and promotion technique. This technique, like the name implies uses less marketing services to sell your home. Agents using this technique basically will pound a sign in your lawn, place the home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), put an ad in the paper, and pray it will sell. In some markets, this technique works extremely well especially in a sellers market wher...

Asperagus season is startin a Long's Farm.  Late last week, Long's Asperagus sign appeared and some asparagus was available. Most days they are selling out early. With some additional rain, this should improve. Watch for updates and prices in the next few days.  Updated May 13, 2008 May 10, 2008 I was finally able to get some asparagus today. Price this year is $1.60 per pound and there was a very long line to get asparagus at Longs Farm. Sunday's rain should have helped and may increase availability. Phone number for hotline is available in the Longs Farm link. Strawberries are in bloom with a few setting fruit at my home. June 6, 2007 Last week for asparagus.

The following information was received this morning from the latest Bank of America Survey (April 5, 2007) of Real Estate agents in the Detroit Area. It is important to note that appraisals of new homes in the Detroit area continue to tighten up due to the increased number of foreclosures. This will also affect your homes value. Detroit, MI (7,355 single-family permits in 2006, 36th largest market in the country)Traffic remains well below agents' expectations. Our traffic index improved slightlyto 25.0 in March from 18.8 in February, but remains far short of a neutral reading of50. 65% of agents said traffic was below expectations, 21% said it was in-line withexpectations, and 14% said it exceeded their expectations.Pricing and incentives continue to worsen. Our price index fell to an e...
