While I was out selling St. Clair Shores real estate this week, I came across this while I was showing a bank owned property to a client. This hifi system was built in the family room wall. It was pretty neat, I've seen old systems similar to this before, but never one quite like this. When we opened the bottom panel to see what was in there, we discovered a phonograph! I don't know if the system worked or not, as the electric was not turned on, but it looks like this was state of the art back in its day. The system was also an intercom and there were speakers throughout the different rooms of the house and you could control which room received the tunes from the main unit.             I thought it was pretty cool and had to snap a picture of it.       For more info on the Macomb County...

No pressure, no obligation           ST. CLAIR SHORES MARKET REPORT FOR JANUARY - HOMES  There were 36 single family homes that closed in January, down from Decembers 43. The one stat that really stands out from January sales is that 29 of the 36 closings or 80% were bank owned homes. That is an extremely high number, and that also means that only 7 private owned homes closed last month. December seen 55% of the sales bank owned, November had 36% and October was at 45%. This is not the stat that many homeowners trying to sell their home want to hear, let's hope there's an improvement in February.                             ...

My monthly market reports give data on the number of closed transactions, average sale price, etc. This report is a little different. It amazes me how much prices have dropped in the past few years, I remember in 2005 it was very difficult to find a home in St. Clair Shores for under $100,000 even fixer uppers. The pickings in that price range were slim to none at that time. So I thought I'd give you an idea of what's for sale in different price ranges today. I've broken the stats down to the 3 major school districts.   South Lake School District:         price range                                             # homes for sale 0 - $49,999                                       15 $50,000 - $99,999                            64     $100,000 - $149,999                        90 $150,000 - ...
