Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Ypsilanti 3rd Quarter Residential Market Reports 2008

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 09:10:53 -0600

Listed below are the 3rd quarter marketing reports for Washtenaw County. Included are all of the different areas of Ann Arbor, and the surrounding area's of Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Milan, Ypsilanti (and all it's areas) Ypsilanti Township, Whitmore Lake and Manchester.

Amazingly enough as the entire country was embellished in terrible market and economic conditions we still managed to sell houses. In fact, sales were up in October of 2008 by 16.5% from October of 2007.

The bad news is that the sales price is down 10.5%, and that hurts sellers.

One positive sign is that the number of listings coming on the market are down. I believe that sellers are no longer "testing the market" but waiting if they do not have to sell.

Here are the charts, you can find your area, look at the price range where you think your home would sell, then look at how many homes sold and how many are active.That will produce the "absorption rate". The absorption rate is used to determine how many months it would take to sell your home, if no other houses were listed.

Condo Market Reports for the 3rd Quarter in Ann Arbor

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 08:52:03 -0600

The 3rd quarter market reports for condos in Ann Arbor. Once a month I publish these reports created by Big House Data, a firm I use in Ann Arbor to scrub the data from the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors.

The number of listings of condos in Washtenaw County was down, the solds were up and the sale price was up from Oct 2007 to Oct 2008. The up price was 1.5% but this is still UP ! This is a good sign because as we decrease our inventory the sales prices will stabilize.

Veterans Day, November 11th

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:23:29 -0600

Today is a day that the federal government and the majority of the states in the United States, sets aside to honor the men and woman of the military that have served our great nation. With over 24.9 million veterans serving in our military it is a day we set aside to remember them and the service they gave to our great nation.

It is a day to say Thank You.

My good friend Sarah Cooper, created this Real Estate Show for us to share. I learned about it on Twitter several weeks ago and asked her if we could share it. While you listen take a view minutes to honor your family members, friends, brothers, sisters and sons who have served and are continuing to serve in all branches of our military.

I have two sons in the Navy currently, my father served in WWII and my granddad in WWI. Today I remember then along with the millions of others who have helped us maintain our freedom and liberty.

Unlike Memorial Day that celebrates the memory of those who fought and died; Veterans Day honors those living, dead and serving today.

Ann Arbor, Saline and Ypsilanti Township "Short Sales"

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:44:22 -0600

Short Sales are getting alot of attention in the Ann Arbor Area. A short sale is when a home owner owes more on their home than the current market conditions will allow them to sell for. You may have heard the it said this way, "the seller is upside down on their mortgage.

Buyers are able to purchase these homes for less than the what is owed to the banks. To purchase a short sale in the Ann Arbor Area, it is important to have lots of patience. Typically a short sale takes a minimum of 12 weeks to work through the process in Ann Arbor, Saline and Ypsilanti Township.

Today I am going to have you look at the Short Sales available in 3 communities in Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, Saline and Ypsilanti Township.

Click on each link below and it will take you to the available homes in each community.I will be posting on different communities throughout Washtenaw County and the homes available to be sold short.

Kelly Koehler wrote a post that asked several important questions, if you haven't read it, please go do so. The essense of the post was that you have only a couple of seconds to capture the consumer.

In other words make it look good, make it count.

Here is a screen shot of my IDX Search Site. I show them what they are going to see, before we ask them to register.

When the consumer picks out the area they want to look in and clicks the Search button, then they see this, with the photos, Google maps and Google Satellite Images.

The box Comments/Questions is where a buyer can say anything that we need to know. Like: "Just looking", "Don't call", "I need to sell my house first."

If they ask us to NOT call, we don't. We respect what the consumer has told us.

Do we get bogus numbers, bogus emails? Yes, but after doing this for 2 years it is rarely both. This is just an example of what you can do. Many IDX's services, are just plain ole' black and white and boring.

If you have a boring IDX, then just see if your web-master will create a landing page for you or use an IDX feed like Kelly's husband provides at Applied Real Estate Technology.

Hopefully A Match Made in Heaven In Howell, Michigan

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 21:16:35 -0500

Several month ago I listed six vacant lots on Bignal Drive in Howell, Michigan. I am also representing Essex-Home Builders on a property at 6190 Concerto Drive in Saline.

So I thought....................

I have a developer with lots and a builder who wants to build, so I put the two of them together and we now have 6 lots with floor plans and elevations to offer people looking for new construction in the Howell, Michigan area. Howell is located in Livingston County.

This is the email notifications I send out to people who have registered on one of my web-sites and want to receive new listings.

I believe it is difficult for many people to visualize a home on a vacant lot, so hopefully this will give them a picture of great homes to be built on 2 to 5 AC lots in Howell on 0 Bignal Drive by Essex-Home Builders.

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 09:31:33 -0500

Yesterday I wrote this post on Ann Arbor Real Estate Talk. I rarely do duplicate content on my outside blog and here, just on new listings and market reports. I received a Google Alert about 30 minutes after I posted it so I knew it had been indexed.

If I am posting dublicate content I first post on my outside blog, wait for it to get indexed and then post here. There is no problem with posting your blog here and your other sites.

It was copied WORD for WORD, and said ADMIN.

Google Blogs Alert for: houses for sale in ann arbor. I follow lot of Google Alerts. Even if you don't want to set up that many, please do your name.
