I had a old client call me last May to sell their Farmington Hills home.  At the time they called me they had three foreclosures in their neighborhood.  I brought them all the recent sold homes in the area.  I figured the max the house would appraise for was $185,000 because most of the homes sold in the low $170,000. The sellers wanted to move quick and sell quick to move to Florida.  There was a home they wanted to buy there.  They wanted to list it at $250,000.  I told them it wouldn’t sell at that price at that time. These Farmington Hills home sellers would have been smarter to sit back and wait to sell their home.  But they didn’t want to wait.  They had to move now and buy that Florida home before it was gone.  They talked to 3 realtors.  Two of us told them the bad news about wh... 11/14/2011

Farmington, MI and Farmington Hills, MI Pothole Reporting and Repair Info Isn't it amazing that potholes appear year after year, without fail? The main reason that they keep coming back is water: precipitation that shows up as ice, rain and snow then seeps into pavement cracks, freezes, causing the pavement and underlying roadbed material to expand. Temperatures eventually rise above freezing, the water melts, creating a cavity or void in the road. Potholes are mostly created when a vehicle drives over the cavity, cracking the pavement and loosens the roadbed material. More precipitation, another freezing/thawing cycle throughout the late winter and early spring, team up to make potholes significantly worse. Residents can advise the city of potholes on side streets or main roads. To rep... 04/10/2011
