missy caulk: Why Photo Blogs & www.Photos.AnnArborRealEstateTalk.com
- 06/27/09 05:03 AM
One of my goals I had set for 2009 was to do a photo blog. Inspired by Ines's Miamism Photo Blog, I loved the idea of keeping folks thinking of moving to Michigan up to date on business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Saline with the power of photos. Enter the Dakno boys... At ReBar Camp Chicago at a before party, I was talking to Bobby and he told me that Dakno had just launched a new product for Photo blogs. Talk about perfect timing. Since I already had Dakno build my blog and new web-site this was perfect. I … (25 comments)
missy caulk: Sunflowers in Michigan
- 08/04/08 12:49 PM
We were going to our lake cottage this weekend at Manitou Beach, Mi. and passed the most amazing sunflower garden. We were driving too fast to stop but on the way home, I made my husband pull over to get some photos. There were at least 6 other cars doing the same thing. When I think of sunflowers I think of being in college and staying up all night playing bridge and eating sunflower seeds. I also think of all the baseball games I sat at with my boys, seems like that is a stable with baseball players. To see this … (39 comments)

missy caulk: Meadowinds Market Value in Ann Arbor
- 07/27/08 06:13 AM
"Market value is what a buyer in any given market is willing to pay for your home given the current conditions... based on what other homes are available and who is looking to buy at that particular time." I coorelate market value to a credit report, it can change frequently and it just depends on the day the credit report is pulled. In the Ann Arbor area marketyour house ABSOLUTELY had to be "priced to sell". The market is changing and CMA's need to be updated every couple of months. For instance, I sold a home in Meadowinds, in June for 380,000. … (12 comments)
missy caulk: How do you Declare YOUR Value to YOUR Clients?
- 07/20/08 01:03 AM
The makeover2 takeover contest is officially over and now the three teams left, sweat it out until Inman News Conference. The last assignment was for both the apprentice and mentors. The assignment was to convince the judges, what it was about us that establishes value to your clients. What differentiates us from the masses of other agents in our market, what qualifies us to earn the trust, respect and support of our clients? To say I’ve been spent last week, musing on this is an understatement. Heck I’m still thinking about it. What distinguishes you from the rest … (39 comments)
missy caulk: Declaring the Value of What you are Worth?
- 07/18/08 12:45 PM
All Realtors are not the same. We all know that, we all do things differently. For instance, I have found it is better to under promise and over produce. If I say, I will return all calls in an hour, then I try to return them right away. When I meet with my sellers for the first time face to face, they have already been sent my marketing materials and a package of information electronically for their review. They in return have sent back to me, the Pre-Listing Questionairre, so that I know where they are in the mortgage obligations, their … (71 comments)
With all the chat last week about the new Localism, I forgot to introduce my new Activerain outside blog. It is called Ann Arbor Undressed. Why? I don't know, I just liked it and I bought the domain months ago. I love that I can send the local posts over there and keep the more Activerain community (industry people talking to industry people) over here. It is such a time saver to be able to write one post and send it to that site, without having to maintain another site. If you have … (35 comments)
missy caulk: Celebrating the 4th of July in Ann Arbor, Mi
- 07/04/08 05:30 AM
Most of us celebrate the 4th of July in America. We gather together with family and friends, shoot of some fire-works, grill out and have a wonderful time. July 4th, 1776 is the day our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence. It is more than a piece of paper. It set forth our ideals and principals that have guided us well into this century. With two of my sons in the Navy, it means so much more to me this year. They are serving our country to carry on the ideals and principals that make our country great. Wishing you a … (27 comments)

For Those of us participating in the MakeOver2TakeOver Contest, our assignments are due today. The week was a challenge for Caulk Wood TEAM, Bonding for Success. I have been out of town at a funeral since Wed. Kim Woods five year old daughter had a birthday on Friday and Kim went to a blogging conference in the middle of the week.

When I started in real estate, my youngest started kindergarten, my husband was pastoring and I was excited. … (23 comments)
Monday was a blue day, so many issues came up over the weekend. I hate to write about negative things but all the issues in my last post were happening all at once, and that was what was on my mind.
Now it is Friday and most of the issues have been cleared up. The seller who didn't want to accept the price I gave her on her house, called and we are going to list it where I showed her the Solds and Actives were. We … (31 comments)
Just like the residential market in Ann Arbor, the condo market saw a reduction of the number of listings that came on the market in March by 47%.
The average sales price of condo's in Washtenaw County was $145,930. That is down over 28% since March of 2007. The number of closing is down 12%.
With both those things declining, sellers are noting that the lower priced condo's are selling faster. Buyers are very picky and with so many units on the market, they have a chance to be extremely picky. Sellers need … (11 comments)
missy caulk: January Market Update for Condo's in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County
- 02/20/08 11:18 AM
The condo market in Ann Arbor continues to have a large amount of inventory. Usually being in the college town of The University of Michigan our condo's have sold well. The list price was up by .5%, but the sales were down by 8.5% from January 2007. In March the residents assigned to the University of Michigan will get their "match letters" and they tend to be big condo buyers. Why? They are too busy to do lawn care, snow removal and many are single and just starting out their careers. Also many physicians need to be close to the University of … (4 comments)
missy caulk: January Market Update for Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County
- 02/20/08 10:56 AM
January 2008 was a good month for closings in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. We are up 10% compared to January 2007. Even better news for home sellers is that the number of listings was down 13%. The homes with the best value, perceived by the buyers are still selling and selling first. For home sellers that can't walk into closing with money to help pay off their mortgages and must stay at a certain price it is a difficult situation as the homes that can be priced "below" market value are selling first. January saw 146 homes close and that is 10.5% … (1 comments)

missy caulk: 9651 Lakeside in Ypsilanti Township Michigan
- 07/09/07 12:20 PM
This condo is located in the Pointe at Island Lake. It is a 2 bedroom and 2 bath condo with many upgrades. The last of the floor plans being built. This seller has hardly lived here so it still has that new smell. Huge master bedroom closet. It could actually be a nursery. There is a flex room that is currently being used as a formal dining room but could easily be used as a office. Hardwood floors in the kitchen and formal dining room. Lots of bright open space. It is a end unit so has more windows and extra parking. The seller … (15 comments)
