Market Stats For Last Week!

The numbers are in and both Ingham and Eaton took a hit last week in the average sales price category but units sold are up and inventory is currently at a 2 year low. Some areas have dipped below 6 months of inventory and other are hovering between 6 and 7 months. If you or anyone you know has been thinking about buying and taking advantage of great prices now is the time. If someone you know has talked about listing their home in the spring it would be prudent to think about listing know while inventory is down and there is less competition. Thank you for reading and have a great week!

"The National Association of Realtors said that December sales of previously-owned homes came in just slightly below November's sales pace, but up 12.8% from a year ago. That brought full-year sales to 4.65 million, up 9% from 2011 and the best year for home sales since 2007, when there were 5 million homes sold just before the start of the recession.  Sales are being helped by a combination of strong market fundamentals -- near record low mortgage rates, lower unemployment and a rebound in home prices, all of which are bringing in buyers into the market who had been waiting for it to hit bottom. The mortgage rates and years of depressed home prices have also combined to create the most affordable housing market on record, according to the Realtors group."  Per CNNMoney

Now is the time!  If you are thinking about putting your home on the market, do not hesitate!  Allow new home buyers to use to take advantage of these record low mortgage rates, and the government programs, and BUY YOUR HOME!

Real estate sales in Holt, MI have continually done well even through a down and shifting market. We have had the opportunity to represent a number of clients in the School District and continue to do so. The price range we have struggled with are some great houses in neighborhoods in the $250,000-300,000 price range but the tides are turning a little.

What is going on in the market for this to happen?

• Inventory is under 6 months!
  • One "Short Sale" in Three Lakes 
  • One in Dimondale, MI
  • One is on Acreage 
  • The remaining 2 are in River Pointe sub division 
• Interest rates have slowly started to climb.
• Consumer confidence has begun to strengthen.
• Buyers have been able to sell their existing homes and "Buy Up"
• Many buyers have noticed the leveling and even rising of prices want to take advantage while they can.

Over the last 90 days in Delhi Township and Holt School District 4 house have sold (more importantly appraised) and closed in the $250,000-$300,000 price range. The first one took a lot work to find comparables but as soon as the first one closed 3 more quickly followed:

1. $299,900 - 2682 SANIBEL HOLLOW - HOLT 48842
2. $255,500 - 2555 HUMMINGBIRD LANE - HOLT 48842
3. $289,900 - 4712 WHITETAIL LANE - LANSING 48911

These are all great home in very nice areas and certainly worth the money for their new owners. I have a handful of potential listings in the area that will be very happy to see this is a price range that is coming back in the area.
