The first half of 2011 shows a bit stronger market than the past couple years. Units are down slightly from 2010 but up significantly from 2009. Both the average and median sales prices are up again. As the distressed homes sell and they become a smaller part of the market, I think we will see prices increase more rapidly.

For the first 10 months of 2011 unit sales were up 4.3% from the same period in 2010 and up 21.7% from 2009. The average sales price was up, median sales price was down and total volume was up from 2010. Inventory is down. On 11-10-2011 there were 172 active listings in Independence Township/Clarkston. On 11-15-2010 there were 202 active listings and on 11-4-2008 there were 341 active listings. Currently that's about a 5 month inventory opposed to a 10 month inventory 3 years ago. Many of the current listings are crap- basically overpriced, because no matter how bad the condition of a house is it will sell if properly priced. I recently listed a home in Independence Township and had 4 offers within 2 days. It is not uncommon to be in a multiple offer situation and most homes are selling within 60 days after achieving their final asking price.

Another Reason For A Strong Pre-Approval- Good Chance You Will Be Competing Against Cash
Thinking of buying a new home in Clarkston or Lake Orion MI? You need to get that pre-approval from your lender very early in the process. Ideally before you even start looking, and for a variety of reasons. Of course there are the same reasons as always- need to know a price to perform an [...]
Do The Windows Really Need Replacing?
Do The Windows Really Need Replacing? I was showing an 18 year old house the other day, and the buyer mentioned it would need new windows. They looked fine and no evidence of broken seals. A home inspection should find any problems, but at this point there is no reason to think the windows have [...]

Attention Loan Officers- We are a team, working together. Keep up the snarky attitude and we can always change loan officers. I don’t know when selling real estate became so confrontational- almost a contact sport. Sometimes a simple real estate transaction feels more like a pissing contest with everybody out to draw blood. Recently we [...]

Selling- For the "Regular" or "Non Distressed" Seller


Below are the 5 most recent blog posts I wrote for the so called normal seller- basically not a short sale. Negotiating a short sale listing is vastly different than the normal sale- the goals are different. Because of these differences I wrote posts for the potential short sale seller and categorized them as "distressed owner/seller" and the posts for the normal seller are under the category "NON Distressed Seller." You can click this link for a full lists of posts for the non distressed home seller or go to my home seller blog at http://SellingRealEstateInSoutheastMichigan.Wordpress.com and click on the proper category on the right side of the home page.

My seller blog at http://SellingRealEstateInSoutheastMichigan.Wordpress.com is a pretty complete resource for all aspects of the home sale process in Oakland and Lapeer County Michigan with articles covering what to expect at our first meeting, how to price your home, how I market my listings, what happens, step by step, after accepting an offer and much more.

What Sets Me Apart From Other Southeast Michigan Listing Agents?

Why I don’t List Short Sale Listings

The Benefits Of Selling Your Clarkston MI Home Now
I want to start out by stating this post IS NOT for the potential Clarkston short sale seller. Short sales, and what I like to call a normal sale, are 2 completely different animals. Most Clarkston MI short sale sellers NEED to sell and are upside down on their mortgage. The regular seller may or [...]

Price, Location and Exposure??? NOT!!! It’s ALL About PRICE!
