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.

The 35th Annual Saline Christmas parade is this Saturday in downtown Saline. A favorite of mine for too many years to count.

Let's just say I can remember nursing my 8 month old baby under my coat on one of those nights it was freezing snow and ice.

All my kids have participated in the Saline Parade at one time or the other. When we first moved out to Saline, 20 years ago, it was a short parade, and over the years I have seen it grow, and grow and grow.

Regardless, the Saline Christmas Parade really gets me in the Holiday Spirit.

If you've been on Facebook, you know I changed my profile picture there, figured if I didn't have time to decorate, may as well decorate myself. (tee hee)

The theme of the parade this year, is the Christmas Story".

The parade begins at 5:30 PM on Saturday and goes throughout downtown Saline.You can catch a shuttle at Busches if you want to park. After the parade Santa will be at Santa's Village.

9056 Emerson in Saline Michigan a short sale closes today.

The offer was submitted on March 30th. It has two loans both with Sun Trust.  The buyers hung in there. Most of my short sales that fail to close are due to buyers getting tired of waiting and having to start the process over.

I have had 5 offers on one of my Short Sales and each time the buyers walked. I think the negotiator is sick of it. I know my sellers are. Of course being the eternal optimist I am still believing it will close. I will post more details later. But, today am just happy for the closing on Emerson.

One of the most valuable sites I have found is Short Sale Superstars. The very minute I get a short sale listing I go there to see how other Realtors have dealt with the bank in question.

It is such a supportive network, started by Broker Bryant.

***A note about the market, this home was built and sold for $526,155.00 in 2005. Then my clients bought it for $436,250.00, in 2007, it sold today for $344,000.00. i would like to say this is unusual...but I can't.

AAI is the American Athletic Institute is a Sports Consulting Firm dedicated to helping people both in and out of sports.The AAI primary focus is on  the education of student athletics on the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

Recently AAI staff made a trip to Saline High School and as they posted on their web-site:

"What an incredible school", said John Underwood (Director of AAI).  Underwood stated he was absolutely impressed by the commitment to excellence in athletics. Coming off winning several State Championships from winter sports, the timing for this program was fantastic... The coaches and school administrators spent most of the day observing programming from AAI.

When we had a break for dinner, the Superintendent (Scott Graden) asked to join us. "That is a rarety" said Underwood. The coaches spent four hours discussing high performance sport and social drug use impact. They are serious coaches and they understood their role in confronting the greatest threat to success.

As many as 700 athletes and their parents, made the trip to Saline,Michigan worth the effort. Saline has incredible facilities, caring adults who set serious standards for youth and a packed auditorium with over 700 parents and students in attendance.

The program was not even mandated. That should tell you why Saline High School is a sport school.

Attendance in the previous 4 Michigan high schools  for the evening sessions were 8, 15, 45 and 25 persons.  That is the difference in adults who care and those who say they do.

As a parent in the Saline Area Schools District, this is not surprising to me. The families are incredibly involved in the lives of their children and the schools.

You can talk the talk or walk the walk... In Saline its not just talk! 

They are for real...

Styles of homes in Torwood

My first year in Real Estate I represented Heartland Home Builders in selling his homes in Torwood. We sold about 18 homes in Torwood for the next three years.  This subdivision is semi-custom. That means that we had many of our own plans and people could cutomize them, or the buyer could bring their own plans and we would bid them out.

Many families that we sold homes to still live in Torwood, a few have re-built in there a large home, because they love the subdivision so much.
