There has never been a better time to buy a home
October 29th, 2009
There has never been a better time than now to buy a home. The prices are lower than ever and the Federal Reserve continues to lower the interest rates in an effort to stimulate the economy. Yet few people are buying because they are either afraid or intimidated by the aspect of “losing money.”
Everyone has heard that the residential real estate market has crashed and burned. It might even get worse before it gets better, although it is pretty much lower than it has been for decades. If you have been pondering whether or not to buy, but are afraid of the market, fear no more.
Buying a house is not like buying stock. Both are investments and both should be considered long term investments. A house generally appreciates in value each year along with inflation. So does stock. Bank accounts also appreciate in value due to interest, although today’s interest rates are lower than the rate of inflation. If you let it be, however, your bank account will be worth more money in 10 years than it is today, assuming you are getting some interest.
A house, however, is a different type of investment. Unlike stocks, bonds or bank accounts, a house is a necessity. We all need a place to live. And we have a choice between either renting a house or apartment from someone else or buying our own house.
I’m trying to find a website that gives real estate information about specific homes?
October 29th, 2009I’ve been on the website before so i know it exists. It gives you an interactive map like google map and you can click homes in your town and see their taxes and what the home cost when it was bought.
Do you mean
We made a full offer on a short sale home in southeastern michigan. How likely is it to be accepted?
October 29th, 2009We put in the offer at what it was listed at. How is the listing price chosen? Does the bank and seller agree on an appropriate price before listing? Should putting offer in at full listing price increase our chances of getting the home, and in a somewhat timely (a few weeks) manner?
Mortgagees (lenders) are slow to respond to offers because they hope to get a better one. While you offered full price that doesn’t guarantee you will get the home. The mortgagee will consider contract conditions. For example if your offer was subject to financing and the mortgagee receives a cash offer, they might accept the latter, even if the offered price were less.

Is it wise to buy a home in Ann Arbor now?
October 25th, 2009We want to move out of Michigan in four years for sure.
I think it is. Ann Arbor is a great market and with the University there, demand will always be high. That city is much different than other markets in the state. I would bet that bargainhunters could do well there. Looks like a real smart investment area with big returns.
What’s the best way to find foreclosed homes for free in Michigan?
October 25th, 2009I’m trying to find out the best way to get information on foreclosed homes for sale in Michigan. I’d like to look at pictures, addresses, and other detail information and I’d prefer to find the information out for free. Anyone have an idea what the best way is?
Contact a real estate agent that you would use as a buyer’s agent. This does not cost you anything. And, when the sale is completed, your agent is paid by the seller (the bank foreclosing). So, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by securing an agent.
Your agent will have access to the multiple listing service (MLS) and can start searching for homes for you. The MLS contains all types of transactions and can be filtered by foreclosures in a certain area. Your agent can then e-mail the listings to you as a clickable list. You can then go through the listings and see if any of them interest you.
Your agent will also have access to confidential supplemental listing information via the MLS, as well as links to mortgage and tax history on the property. This can be very helpful to you when trying to determine an offer amount. Your agent can also show you properties that you’re interested in. And, having an agent prepare and submit your offer can make the difference in whether the banks even read it. Sometimes they have strange requirements for submitting offers and, if anything is slightly wrong, they just reject it out-of-hand.
to goatboy- did you know about this? an invitation- come to michigan-help our economy!:)?
October 25th, 2009Is Ann Arbor going Hollywood? Moviemakers take renewed interest in filming here

Ann Arbor isn’t the movie-making mecca of the Midwest just yet, but local sources say interest in the city as a film location is heating up.
Commercial real estate agents say there has been a surge of inquiries about properties that could be used by filmmakers, several local schools are being scouted for filming locations, and the Ann Arbor Convention and Visitors Bureau is expanding its role as the go-to group for production companies seeking to shoot in the area.
"There’s certainly a flurry of activity and inquiries coming in. It goes a lot deeper than finding hotel rooms and mapping out sites for them to take a look at," said Mary A. Kerr, Convention and Visitors Bureau president.
