Ann Arbor Undressed

Saline, Michigan Market Reports 

When I think of the market in Saline, I like to see a comparison of where we are now vs where we were a year ago. 

You can see from the chart below that our inventory is DOWN. That is a good thing, unless you are a buyer looking in a certain price point or neighborhood. 

The other thing I like to look at is the price of homes, are they up or down? 

When working with buyers looking to purchase a home in Saline, Michigan it is important to know if the community is consistent, down or increasing in value. 

You can see from this graph that we hit a low ($192,000.)  in March 2011 but now the price point is up to almost $220,000. This brings me back to the first point, inventory in Saline, Suppy vs Demand equals higher sale prices. 

The next chart is done monthly by Affinity Valuations, a local appaiser that I have known for years and trust completely. 

I like this chart because Pete graphs out for Saline, Michigan over a three year period. In this graph which Petes gleans from the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors, You can see the trend in price per square feet, number of sales each month.

The trend is price per square foot in Saline, Michigan has been consistent for the last three years. 

On my Ann Arbor Real Estate Talk blog you can get monthly updates on the market in Saline, either by checking back monthly or signing up for Executive Reports to be emailed to you.

What a fantastic day was spent on Saturday at the University of Michigan Woman's Football Academy.

Besides over $100,000.00 raised for the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Missy Caulk TEAM was able to contribute $750.00.

Thank you so much for all my past clients and blogging friends that were able to help us out.

The Schedule

In the mornings after introductions, everyone was divided into teams and each team rotated with a position coach where we learned the stances, and the proper technique's.

After about 15 minutes with each University of Michigan Coach and the players we rotated to the next position.

Before we rotate we would all get in a huddle and raise our hands together. The Coaches would yell, "BEAT" and we would yell back "OHIO"! 

Believe it or not the kicking and the punting were the hardest. Although I did fall flat on my face zig zagging through the cones. Hey the grass was wet.

The Scrimmage

After lunch we got in our assigned teams. My team was coached by Coach Jeff Hecklinski, (Coach Heck) the Wide Receiver Coach.

Our team played against Coach Jerry Montgomery's team, who coaches the Defensive Line. Coach Heck, turned the actual plays over to Roy Roundtree, Wide Receiver and he wanted everyone to go long. Imagine that! 

Coach Heck said the one thing he heard over and over again all day was, "OMG there is Denard!" Next year he suggested they just put Denard in the middle of the field and have everyone line up.

One of the most fun things was running through the tunnel and getting to scrimmage in the the BIG HOUSE.

I really enjoyed spending time with some the coaches wives as Christa and I helped them in  obtaining a home in Ann Arbor.

Well a picture is worth a thousand words, so let the video show you have much fun we had at the U of M Woman's Football Academy.

If you would like to play on our team next year, let me know because I would love to be able to spend the day with you and help raise more money for the Comprehensive Cancer Center.  GO BLUE!

This Saturday is the Annual University of Michigan Womans Football Academy.

This will be the second time I have played, attended it. The first time was in Summer of 2004 and I broke my pinkey finger catching a pass with Lloyd Carr looking on.

I was playing Wide Receiver in the afternoon scrimmage and and I was not suppose to be thrown a pass. It was a running play but the running back got tackled, the QB looked up and saw me open so through me the ball and I caught it. (breaking my finger)

I walked up to my Coach, who at the time was Braylon Edwards, and said, "I think I broke my finger."

"Nah," said Braylon, "Good catch, get back in there."

But, I walked off the field with my finger hanging and went into the locker room, where Paul Schmidt, Athletic Trainer for the Wolverines said, "Missy, get out to Saline Hospital and get an x-ray right away." (Paul is from Saline and knew me from there.) So I did...3 days later I had surgery and wore a halo cast for 3 months.

Now I am playing again!!

But, this time we signed Medical Release Forms. Wonder why?

My husband played QB in high school, and the Marines (anyone remember when the Marines had a team?) and all my 3 sons played in high school. NOT ONE of them ever had a serious injury, but mom goes out one day and OUCH!

Now even though we will have a lot of fun at the Womans U of M Football Camp, it does serve a higher purpse and that is to raise funds for the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since its creation in 1999, the program has helped more than 15,000 cancer patients and their families.

I never have begged asked for support on my Ann Arbor Real Estate Blog, but TODAY I am.

Can you help us raise money for this worthy event by donating to The Missy Caulk TEAM's efforts for U of M Comprehensive Cancer Center?

Christa and I are excited to be helping them out and you know after reading my story about my broken finger I would not be doing this again, if not for a worthy cause.

If you are one of my 2430 friends on Facebook, or 3826 Followers on Twitter...or all my Activerain Friends and Subscribers.

...if eveyone could give $5.00 to $10.00, $50.00 or $100.00 we would be so very grateful.

DONATE HERE Thank you!!

Today Ilyse Glick posted on the CBS Money watch about the biggest winners and losers in the housing market.

The Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors also posted the data for January 2011 vs January 2010 and to quote:

Real estate sales for January 2011 are up 15.7 percent over January of last year, according to data released by the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors. Sales of single-family homes are up 8.5 percent and condominiums posted an increase of 26.6 percent over last year. These
numbers follow strong activity in December, capping a year of positive gains for 2010.

The average residential sale price shows a modest increase over last year at this time, at $167,745.

As a working Realtor in the Ann Arbor Area, I can say our inventory is down. That is the biggest thing I am seeing. I'm not sure if more people who have been holding off listing there homes will start to rethink that or not. Many sellers in Ann Arbor have waited for the market to return. The market returning to what? I believe it will be several years before we get back to the peak of the market in 2006.

For now I am just happy that the inventory is going down and that is forcing the prices up a bit.

According to Ilyse Glick the price increase was 11.3% in Ann Arbor.

In Ann Arbor our MLS is set up by school district so that is how you see the results.
