One of Holt Michigan's best and most consistent neighborhoods is the area bordered by I96 to the North,Holt Rd to the South, Grovenberg to the West and Washington to the East. As there are numerous small neighborhoods within this area I have defined it generally as the "Chisholm Hills Area." 

Within this neighborhood there is a wide range of construction, size, style and age. I have worked a lot in the area throughout my career and in the past year. As I currently have two listings in the area 2188 Aspenwood and 5920 Cartago (one under contract) I thought I would offer an overview of the entire area for the past year. The residents of this area will receive this in the mail as well.

Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability. Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows. Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates go up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!

While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life. It's important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial "comfort zone." To that end, it may be more important to lock in today's relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.

Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today's market.
