ann arbor: She Rants, She Raves, (Sang to the tune of she bangs, she bangs)
- 06/02/07 02:39 PM
Pfizer is leaving Ann Arbor, we have known for that for months. Fine ! Now all the Pfizer homes are coming on the market. Pfizer employees were given a 100 loss on sale clause. So if they purchased their home in 2001-2007, they will NOT make money on their house. Pfizer is compensating them for their loss up to 100,000. Great. Problem is who is helping out the other sellers, who have to compete with homes WAY under market value? I met and did a pre-list appointment with a Pfizer relocating employee who bought their home in 2006 for 439,900. I told them, … (37 comments)

ann arbor: The Most Important Thing I Do..........
- 05/19/07 05:39 AM
The Ann Arbor, MI market is is fluctuation. It is changing almost daily. Pricing a home right is THE MOST important thing I do. Mr. and Mrs. Seller, buyers don't care what you "need" to sell. Mr. and Mrs.Seller, It is not wise to "test the market for a month." Mr. and Mrs. Seller, Yes, they can just "make and offer" but they won't. Mr. and Mrs. Seller, The buyer is looking at all the homes in the price range you have priced the home in. Your home just does not compare in that price range. Mr. and Mrs. Seller, Your home is helping to … (33 comments)
ann arbor: I've turned down 3 Listings in the past 2 weeks.
- 05/16/07 02:03 PM
Ann Arbor, MI homes have to be priced "to sell". I'm sure it is that way all across the country. As a realtor in Ann Arbor, for 13 years, I get many calls from people to list their homes. I do a 2-step listing presentation. First, I send them by email, all of my marketing materials for review with a listing questionaire that I ask to send back to me before the appointment. In the questionaire, I am trying to determine their motivation to sell. For example, "Would you be willing to invest money to get your home ready to sell?" My marketing materials, … (33 comments)

Yesterday the Ann Arbor News sponsored their annual Outlook 2007 luncheon. First to the good news.....not much but Grady Burnett, Director of online operations at Google spoke and he was very positive. He said they chose Ann Arbor because of the environment of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. As a graduate of U.M he was hopeful of the economy turning around and their goal to hire 1000 employees within 5 years. They are currently at 50. He said the challenge for us is to " believe things will get better". One of the things I most enjoyed hearing was how … (4 comments)

Here is the executive summary from Big House Data in Ann Arbor, MI. This is a great company that I hire to do the research and compile the data for me. You can read the entire report here. I maintain it is still a great time to buy, the sellers are more realistic in their pricing and the buyers are having great opportunities. We wrote a offer yesterday on a 2100 s.f house in Ypsilanti Township for under 200,000. This would have sold for more a few years back. In fact it started at 289,900. Now what a opportunity for a … (2 comments)
