A recap of this past year in real estate shows some very significant changes have taken place in our community.
We have gone from an over supply of homes for sale to a historic low. Active listings are down nearly 20% from last years levels. Sellers are now experiencing appreciation in their homes, something not seen in this area in years.
The right priced homes in show ready condition are selling to the first people to see them, saving time and lowering the stress levels of many sellers today.
Here are just 3 examples of our recent success in the fourth quarter of this year that we are proud to share.
*Hartland Township-Ranch home purchased in March of 2010 for $250,000.00, listed for $309,900.00 and sold for over the asking price in just 10 days. A 24% return in just 18 months.
*Brighton Township-Lake Front home listed previously with 2 different brokers for over 12 months @ $550,000.00 listed in October at the end of the lake season for $575,000.00 and sold in 9 days for 96.5% of the asking price.
*Brighton Township- Ranch home purchased in 2009 for $180,000.00 listed this winter at $257,500.00 and sold in less than 7 days. A 43% return in 3 short years.
If you have been waiting to sell until the "Market Comes Back" your wait is finally over!!!!!
Now may be the best time ever to sell! With interest rates at levels never seen before and more buyer demand than available homes, you could also become on of these terrific success stories.
I welcome the opportunity to provide you with a complete market analysis of your homes values to determine your current equity position.
Knowing your homes market value may also assist you if you are considering refinancing at today's unsustainable low interest rates.
Simply call or email me to set your course for 2012. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results.
Looking forward to the opportunity to be your Realtor and committed to your success.
