It's hard to believe its summer here in Northern Michigan, with the wave of cooler air hitting and the lack of traffic. This has been a trend over the last few summers, where the month of June is quite slow in regards to real estate activity here in the Indian River area. One can make a whole lot of assumptions and point a lot of fingers, but the fact is our summers are even shorter now for the "prime selling season". July and August rank highest in our area for volume of visitors, and volume of transactions written. Last year there was a terrific 6 week period where it was as if the bad economy didn't matter, and many homes were under contract. And then, like a switch was turned off, the frenzy ceased and people went back home. This year there are more homes for sale, and appears to be... 06/18/2008

 Northern Michigan has long been the destination "north" of many downstate and out of state residents. What is the draw? one may ask. If you have never explored the area we call the "tip of the mitt", which would be Cheboygan, Emmet, and Presque Isle counties, you are missing so much of the natural beauty Michigan has to offer. Perhaps you've traveled through on your way across the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge, or to catch a boat to Mackinaw Island, both great treasures of our state. And perhaps you've stopped off I-75 along the way to catch a bite to eat or get gas. But if you have not ventured off the highway much, you have missed the best there is to see. If boating is your pleasure, then Indian River is your destination, setting on the beautiful shores of Burt Lake and extending the shore... 05/01/2008
