If you have thought about looking at Commerce homes for sale but you do not know what the community is really like?  Commerce Township has no large shopping area or centralized downtown area.  It has no historic two or three block area with little stores.  There are not a lot of stores right in Commerce except on it's eastern edge. There is lots of stores between M-5 and Haggerty Road which is the east edge of the community.  However Novi's large shopping area at 12 Oaks Mall and the surrounding shopping areas is just a short ride away.  In less than 10 minutes you will find everything you need there.  Of course Commerce MI has stores, banks, restaurants scattered throughout the city.  You will find restaurants, gyms, large chain stores along Haggerty Rd.  You will also find all the dif...

Before moving to condo living, baby boomers need to know if their new neighborhood will provide them with accessibility and convenience. Access to health care, recreation, social activities, should be at the top of your mind. It's crucial to consider how easy it is to "move around", but also the convenience of amenities that are significant to increase one's quality of life. For baby boomers who want to access services, condo living is a great alternative. They provide a sociable and connected lifestyle, as well as superior security and minimum maintenance, at a lower cost than many other housing options. While their previous homes may have had walls between the living, dining, and kitchen rooms, many baby boomers like the hipper open layouts that don't simply encourage everyone to go t...

Are you a water sports enthusiast that wants to be on a bigger all sports lake in Commerce Township that is closer to the expressways or M-5?  There are some very nice all sports lake in the township.  Below I have listed the 4 large all sports lakes in Commerce Township so you can understand more about them.  The lakes range in size from 455 acres down to    Two of them are only partially in the township.  Actually the 2 lakes (Union Lake and Middle Straits Lake) are barely in Commerce.  The lakes just have a small corner in the township.  If I had to pick out one lake as the most prestigious or most desirable I would say it is Union Lake.  There are many elegant luxury homes on the lake and even the small cottages are getting a very high price per square foot.Union Lake  Union Lake is...

Here is a quick real estate update for Commerce Michigan.  The first graph will show you that there has been no huge  downturn on sales prices in the township.  There has been a slowdown which is normal for the winter months.  There is a 3.5 month supply of homes in Commerce.  This has been pretty steady for the several months.   The price per square foot for homes in Commerce has steadily risen over the last several year.  There have been minor dips on the way up, but nothing serious.   So according to the data the real estate market in Commerce Township is still strong.  We still have low inventories of homes in the area.  As you can see from the data it is still a sellers market.  I just don't think it is going to change any time soon unless we have an economic down turn.  So if you ...

Let's tackle the explanation of staging?  What is staging?  Staging is doing all the things possible to make your home stand out.  Staging your home can be tricky for some, you don't want to have to much personality but you also don't want a room to be totally barren.  It is a fine line of good staging or making the home look like a phony home. Kitchen's are one of the most important rooms in the house.  So it is important to stage the kitchen.  This room could seems silly to stage because its a kitchen who doesn't know what this place is for... but that's not the only reason to stage your space. Staging your kitchen for showings can make a buyer feel at home.  You want the kitchen to appear open and spacious.  That way the buyer feels there is enough room for all their kitchen gadgets....

    Are you thinking about  buying (keyword) in Commerce Michigan.  Commerce Michigan is just west of West Bloomfield Michigan and North of Novi Michigan.  There are many lakes in Commerce Michigan if you have the desire to live on a lake. There are a wide variety of homes for sale in Commerce Michigan because of the lakes.  Years ago the lakes drew Detroit city residents out for the weekend.  They had small cottages around the lakes.  Many times these little lake areas had two or three streets deep of cottages.  So you will still find small cottage like homes off the lakes.  Many of these small cottages on the lakes have been torn down to make way for larger and newer waterfront homes. Of course Commerce Township has many newer beautiful subdivisions full of large colonial homes with t...
