Lakes of Indianwood

Lakes of Indianwood

Lakes of Indianwood is an upscale subdivision (higher priced, larger homes) covering Orion and Oxford townships. The majority of the lots are heavily wooded - some waterfront. There are approximately 90 acres of lakes and streams, 125 acres of wetlands (aka waterfowl habitats), and the Polly Ann Trial runs through the sub.

House ages range from the early to mid 90's until now, and there are still vacant lots available. The entire subdivision is in the Lake Orion school district. Lakes of Indianwood is serviced by city sewer and community water, underground utilities. There is no duplication of houses throughout the subdivision. The minimum square footage requirements are 2400 for a ranch, 2700 for a one and a half story, and 3000 sq. ft. for a two story home. 65% brick, stone, dryvit or a combination is a requirement on all elevations.

"Back in the day" it wasn't uncommon to see sales in the $600,000-$900,000 range and even sales over a million.

2009 there were 14 houses sold ranging in price from $267,300-$459,000. In 2005 the MLS reported 12 sales ranging from $420,000-$839,000 - only 2 houses in 2009 sold for more than the cheapest house in 2005.

Southeast Michigan Real Estate- For Sellers

Should I stay around for the showing?

Should I stay around for the showing? Many home sellers in Oakland and Lapeer County Michigan ask this question. You should leave and I should not be there either. For the showing you want potential buyers to be as comfortable as possible. You want them to feel free to express any concerns or dislikes to […]

Is My Listing REALLY Overpriced?

Home prices in North Oakland and Lapeer counties have been increasing- sharply. What you can buy for $200,000 today will probably get $210,000 or even $220,000 this summer..... If a house is slightly overpriced today won't be this summer. Not every seller has the same motivations. Some want to sell quickly. Some want to sell for top dollar and we are now in a market where patience can be profitable.

Seller Concessions Explained- Southeast Michigan Real Estate

Seller Concessions Explained- Southeast Michigan Real Estate This is my attempt at a very simplified explanation of what seller concessions are. Example: You want to buy the house you just looked at and want to make an offer of $200,000. You need $5000 in seller concessions (seller paying all or part of your closing costs). […]

Home Staging- Highjacked Term? Does it Help?

Home staging your Oakland County or Lapeer County MI home for sale. At one time it was just part of a Realtor’s job to “stage” a home they were listing- at least in the North Oakland and Lapeer areas that I work in. In those days staging had a bit of a different meaning. I […]

Is My Listing REALLY Overpriced?

Is My Listing REALLY Overpriced? It seems lately the explanation that comes with a low ball offer is that the house (my listing) is overpriced. I guess soooo grossly overpriced that your buyer chose it as their favorite. I understand a buyer submitting a low offer trying to see what they can get it for. […]

Why I Won’t Sell You “Your Dream Home”

It doesn’t exist. But that is too short of an answer to make an entire blog post! Unless you have an unlimited budget, and location is no object, your dream home really doesn’t exist outside of your head. The location for the dream home in my head changes often. Depending on how cold it is […]

The Perfect House Probably Does Not Exist

The Perfect House Probably Does Not Exist Even with the low inventory in North Oakland and Lapeer County MI, I still consider this pretty much  a buyer’s market.
