Voorheis Lakefront real estate sales, Lake Orion Michigan. Private, all sports, 250 acre Lake Voorheis. Sales in 2009 were pretty dismal with only 5 total sales- 2 of which were bank owned homes (foreclosures) and sale prices ranging from $150,000-$650,000 with a median sales price of $385,000. That's right- someone was able to purchase a home on desirable, all sports Lake Voorheis for the disgustingly low bargain basement price of $150,000. I would say that person made a great investment, even if the house needed a major re-hab.

In 2003 there was only 1 sale below $400K reported in the MLS with sales prices on Lake Voorheis topping out at a tad over a million dollars.

There were no sales on Lake Voorhies in 2010 (at least none reported to the MLS). 2011 was a pretty good year considering the state of real estate prices the past 5 or 6 years. There were 5 closed sales last year with sale prices ranging from $253,500-$449,900- 1 short sale and 1 bank owned home. 3 of the 5 sales were in the $400's with a median sales price of $435,000

There is currently one sale pending on Lake Voorhies- a short sale on Saturn asking $220,000- and 1 home for sale also on Saturn, a non distressed listing asking $244,900. There is also one home on Walmsley Circle for lease asking $2850.

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.
