When looking at price, one of the most important things is to evaluate competition. Lets' look at what is available for sale now in Wellesley Gardens: See 1625 Addington video for sale:   The average asking price per squre feet is $86.84.  Now you can look at your unit compared to the other ones on the market and determine where to price based on your location, condition and motivation.  Keep in mind the new buyer must appraise the condo so if it is over priced, the buyers bank will evaluate the solds.  So let's look at that.   The average sold perice per square foot is $84.88.   So the listing prices and selling prices are fairly close meaning that sellers expectations are in alignment with the market.  Consulting with the Seller on more specifics of the data is helpoful and how to eng... 07/09/2011

(Day 29 of "30 in 30") Okay, aside from a perceived glut of housing, what if you DO still want to build a brand new home?  St. James Woods, with the entrance from Lohr Road, combines an Ann Arbor mailing address, but has Saline Area Schools, and you're in between the best of both.  Head south to check out Saline golf courses, small-town amenities and attractions, but be just a few miles away for Ann Arbor shopping, work, and University of Michigan attractions.    It's ten minutes to the center of Saline and fifteen minutes to downtown Ann Arbor. Most lots are in between 0.45 and 0.80 acres, this neighborhood has five cul-de-sacs for quiet and comfort among wooded areas nearby. Actual map for the location is here. At the moment of this posting, you can take your pick of where and what yo... 09/22/2010

(Day 2 of the 30-day blogging challenge!)   I picked up my latest weekly local paper, the Saline Reporter and came across the article about a homeowner's trees getting in the way of a sidewalk/walkway/greenspace project.  There are multiple subdivisions in this area, and the township decided to have walkways in the neighborhood in order to make it safe for pedestrians (and other non-vehicular traffic) to walk between Saline and Ann Arbor.  But this resident's trees are smack in the path of the proposed sidewalk.  The house is not "in" a subdivision, it's right next to the road and it's almost the closest house to the road.   What to do? 1) Go around the trees, towards the road.  The officials say no, because it's too close for safety. 2) Go around the trees, closer to the house, away fr... 08/27/2010

In August of 1979, my husband and I bought our first home in Auburn, Alabama. It was a brand new home with 1300. S. F. for $39,000. We went FHA, and my parents, and grandparents helped us with the down-payment of 3%. It was a cute little house, with a corner fireplace, huge master-bedroom suite, walk in closets and I loved it. I never wanted to move. In December of 1980, we had our first baby there, Christa, who is now my Partner is Real Estate. In August that year, my husband was “called’ to Michigan. There were skid markets all the way from the South to the Mid-West with me dragging my feet. When we arrived and I shared with our Realtor what we were coming from and what I hoped to find in a home. She said, “Well, that will cost $100,000. to buy in Ann Arbor.” We were paying $350.00 p... 05/17/2008
