Susan Says - Comments on Ann Arbor Real Estate, and Life

Real Estate Agent - Keller Williams Realty, Ann Arbor, MI
Random postings, about my family (does anyone care?), about my community (of course you care!), my philosophies of life (it's Ann Arbor, everyone cares...), and cats (don't care if you care), and my passions, real estate and design. I hope not to offend. Enjoy!

I was jogged to check out Zillow once again by a news release that they had received a $30 million dollar packet in a business proposal. For curiosity, I went there once again and typed in my own address to see what would come up as value and comparables.  The value was a bit lower than I had hop...
