Back to School

We've been busy the last few weeks, starting with a vacation to northern Michigan for a family reunion. We have closed on three homes for buyers and are ready to start working with more as school gets back in session and the "late" movers come in.
We know that most families are not looking to move unless forced to by work or other reasons. However, this is a great time to be in the market for a home as prices are starting to move up, but interest rates are still low and sellers are motivated. Back to school isn't just for the kiddos, it is time for buyers to study the market they are interested in and formulate a plan to get the best deal.
And don't take all the ads you see for new homes for granted until you study the location and reason they are providing the incentives. Just had a young couple faced with being "upside down" in their two year old home as the builder is now selling the same house plan they bought for $15,000 less! Caveat Emptor!
Call or drop an email and we will be happy to help you set up that plan so you are not faced with a similar situation.
