Brendel Lakefront homes (Oakland County, Michigan) for sale. The real estate on the lake varies. Brendel Lake isn't what I would call a pretentious or upper end lake. Many of the homes were built in the 1920 -1960’s; many of them are smaller cottages. Though there is one lake home that is over 4000 square feet. But that is more of an exception. Most of Brendel lake real estate are modest homes. Brendel Lake does have a neighborhood association that has a small park and beach access for some homes that are not on the lake.  There is no DNR public access or no public beach. Brendel Lake is a relatively narrow lake with 5 bays that are finger like.  It isn't a large lake but it is big enough to ski on.  One of the residents told me it was a quiet lake.  Brendel Lake feeds to Mud Lake and ...

Need 4 easy tips for all rooms for selling your White Lake home for more money? Staging and preparing to sell your Orchard Lake home is very important if you want top dollar and you want it to sell quicker. •Take away all the extra tables, chairs, and furniture. Anything that you do not need, remove it or store it. Make each room look more spacious. In most small rooms there shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 pieces of furniture. •Before showings begin, go around the house and check all your lamps, ceiling fans and other light fixtures to be sure the lights are working. Replace any old, dimming bulbs with new ones to brighten up the room. Home buyers love bright rooms. Dark rooms appear smaller! So put in brighter bulbs and be sure to turn all the lights on when showing your White Lake home....

A White Lake home inspection is important to do whether it is a brand new house or an old house.  YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE AN HOME INSPECTION DONE and DON'T LET just a relative do it.  And don't let the cheapest guy do it. My story about that is:  My client was very frugal.  So he thought the list of 10 inspection companies prices I gave him were too high.  So he went on Craig's List and found himself a home inspector.  The guy showed up about 20 minutes late.  He came in raggedy jeans with several large holes in them. He didn't inspect the roof or the attic.  He didn't even check each individual electrical plug.  I guess I could go on for a while about what he didn't inspect.  He had no builder's license, and he had no training in home inspections.  But yet my client hired him because he...

Tull Lake White Lake MI is a man made lake that was built in the 1950's.  It's not very deep, it may reach 10 -12 foot in the deepest spot.  There are 3 small islands on the lake.  Two of the islands are on the main lake and one is in a bay.  Tull Lake in White Lake is a relatively small lake being only about 90 acres in size.  Tull Lake is a private all sports lake (no jets skis though).  There are quite a few boating restrictions on the lake.  It is a quiet lake as jet skis are banned from the lake. The maximum motor size on the lake is 90 HP.  Only outboard motors are allowed on the lake.  Max size for a power boat is 16 1/2' and max size is 24' for the pontoon.  The residents of Tull Lake prefer a "quiet lake".  If there are 4 boats on the lake at a time it is "rush hour".  The majo...

After a brief respite at the end of last year, when things looked like they had stabilized and might be turning around, median home sale values in the Township of White Lake are again headed down and is inventory on the market. White Lake continues to suffer a high percentage of distressed home sales, with distressed sales making up almost 70% of all sales in March. So far this year, there have been 55 homes sell at an average SEV multiplier of 1.5992. That means that a White Lake home that the assessor says is worth $200,000 actually sold for an average of $159,920 or about 80% of what the assessor thinks it's worth on the market. Home sale prices also averaged about $75/Sq Ft, which isn't all that bad when compared with other local markets. White Lake is a fairly populous suburb and t...

The White Lake Michigan market had a brief period of apparent recovery in median sold home prices in mid-year last year; but, by November, sold home prices started down again and continue to slide. The brief run-up in sold prices did bring out more sellers for a while and Inventory actually rose, which is unusual for this area; however, that, too, started dropping again at year end and contues downward. So far in 2011, there have been 49 homes sell above $20K (which is my arbitrary cut-off point for measuring the market). They have averaged $75/Sq Ft so far in 2001 and are selling for an average of 1.5896 times their SEV (State Equilized Value, which is supposed to be 1/2 of the assessed market value). That means that they are selling for just under 80% of their assessed values.Obviousl...

Mandon Lake waterfront homes White Lake MI is a smaller lake in Oakland County.   Mandon Lake is a private all sports lake.  It is a small lake only being 31 acres.  One of the residents told me that the deepest spot was about 20 ft deep with the average being about 12 foot deep.                                                       It is a spring fed lake, but they also pump from a well to keep the lake level up.  The lake association dues in 2010 were about $100 a year.  That pays for 2 weed treatments and the cost of pumping the water.                                       Mandon Lake real estate and homes range from 800 square foot cottages to 2000 square foot colonials.  This isn't a lake that has mega mansion or pretentious residents.  It is just a casual lake that doesn't demand ...

Here is an update on Oakland County lake front foreclosures.  I received an email from a lady today requesting listings for Oakland Lakefront homes under $150,000. She had recently missed buying a home because she bid too low. It was a lakefront home that was listed at $66,000.  The lady had bid $83,000 and still didn't win it. Here was my explanation to her on what she should be doing.  That was quite a deal.  You very seldom see a Oakland County lake home priced under a $100,000.  If it is it is usually in poor shape, or on a smaller lake.  A lakefront home on an bigger all sports lake is worth at least $125,000 even in bad shape. I see many bad lakefront homes at $150,000.  So many people forget about what the house is really worth and just look at the list price.  This Oakland Count...

I'll be holding 1176 Willaims Lake Rd in White Lake, Michigan, open this Sunday from 1 - 3 PM. This is a great deal on a nice sized house that is not a foreclosure or short sale, but is priced to compete in that market. The house is over 1,700 Sq ft on 1 1/2 floors. There is a great room with volume ceiling on the first floor that flows right into the kitchen and dining areas (a very open floor plan), plus the first floor master bedroom. A full bath with tub is on this level too. The master has a huge walk in closet. The two other bedrooms are on the second level, along with a full bath with shower and a nice loft area off the landing. The basement is finished and is a walk-out with two slider doors to the back yard. There is a big deck off the entry level out back too. A two-car attach...
