- Leasing Market Heats Up
-
As lenders have tightened up credit in the wake of the foreclosure fallout, many people are finding they can no longer afford to buy a home resulting in rents rising around the area.
For example, a condo I listed last year leased for $1,400/month while this year they are getting $1,550/month. Many of the first time buyers I'm working with are telling me they are buying because it's cheaper than what they'll pay when their lease is up. If you'd like to check out whether you can buy, give me a call.
If you plan on moving out of the area in the next 2-3 years, it's likely leasing may make the most sense. Here are a couple of properties listed for lease to check out:
11667 Morgan, Plymouth
3 bedroom, 1 bath Plymouth Ranch with 2 car garage and fenced yard
$1,200/month
42661 Faulker, Novi
3 bedroom, 2.2 bath Novi Cape Cod with gourmet Kitchen, finished basement and 2 car garage
$2,300/month

- Increased Sales But Half Are Foreclosures
-
Realcomp, our local and Michigan's largest Multiple Listing Service, released the latest sales figures recently indicating a 12.7% year to date increase in sales over last year for the entire MLS.
Although the number of homes on the market has declined an average of 7%, more the half the homes sold in May were foreclosures.
The good news is that Michigan has dropped to 5th in the nation in foreclosures, many homes are now priced to sell, and interest rates are still at historic low levels.
A particularly good bargain right now are HUD homes. They are currently offering buyer incentives of only $500 down and $2,500 at closing if you're buying the property as a principle residence. These incentives are valid through the end of September so if you know someone who has been thinking about taking the homeownership leap, now is definitely the time.
For those of you thinking about buying for investment, now is also a great time to expand your portfolio. There are lots of really great deals out there.

- A Day For Memorials
-
How did you celebrate this Memorial Day holiday? Did you attend a parade? Did you visit a cemetary? Or was it just a rare day off?
For the first time in more than 30 years, I marched in a parade, bringing back a flood of memories.
I was born on "traditional" Memorial Day, May 30th. My first birthdays were spent watching, and later being in a parade, followed by a big family picnic complete with a birthday cake.
As a former Marine, I've always held a soft spot in my heart for veterans and all things Marine. So after I joined Northville's Marine Corps League earlier this year, how could I say no to walking in the Memorial Day parade.
The day was perfect...just the right temperature, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, the Northville High School Marching Band, and the crowds lining the street to honor the veterans riding motorcycles, marching, and riding in cars.
It was wonderful to hear the support from the crowd, something that was unheard of in the 1970s when I served. A moving ceremony at the Veteran's Memorial in Rural Hill Cemetary capped off the morning.
Wherever you are, whatever you did, I hope you paused a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy.
Unlike the Memorial Days of old, my birthday falls on Friday this year. Today was extra special though...Daniel and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary!
- Metro Market Perking Up
-
Earlier this month Realcomp, Michigan's largest Multiple Listing Service, released the latest sales figures showing promising signs for our housing market. For the fourth straight month in a row this year, sales increased by 10.84% over the same period last year. Additionally, properties currently under contract show the trend is continuing.
While the credit crunch is still affecting mortgage options and prices have declined, interest rates remain low and well priced properties are selling. This is welcome news, and bodes well for this year's selling season!
If you know someone who has been thinking about taking the homeownership, now is the time. There are lots of really great deals out there.
