Ann Arbor a Brighter and Greener Friday
2008-04-25 15:36:00
Ann Arbor Greener and Brighter Getting Greener and Brighter Monday was a blue day, so many issues came up over the weekend. I hate to write about negative things but all the issues in my last post were happening all at once, and that was what was on my mind. Now it is Friday and most of the issues have been cleared up. The seller who didn't want to accept the price I gave her on her house, called and we are going to list it where I showed her the Solds and Actives were. We turned the house we closed in that got sold in a foreclosure over to the title company and said, " Here it is your problem, get it fixed and get us clean title"! Why should we try to fix an issue that they didn't send in the "short sale" check in time. It is still a mess, it will get resolved, but it is off our plate. My team member who wrote the offer was trying to get it resolved by spending hours on the phone. From one department in CA and one in AZ. We split the difference in the appraised value w...

So you had a bad day?
2008-04-22 02:36:00
Ever had a bad day? Of course we all do.... that is life... Delivering bad news to clients... " your house is not worth what you paid 3 years ago. "Would you like to do a "short sale?" No, you're assets are too high. You make too much money, but you don't have enough in savings to walk into closing with..... You don't want to counter the offer, after asking 80K under asking price when the seller bought it for 525K and we are only asking 399K? The appraisal came in $ 8000.00 under asking price, because we are in a declining market.... The bank said they won't let you make an offer contingent on a contractors inspection? The master bedroom addition you added and didn't pull permits, ONLY has one heating vent and you don't want to pay to bring it up to code? It will take 4 weeks to hear back from the bank, because "that is just the way it is"? from an attorney. Someone keeps stealing my signs at the same house and the sellers want another one? And it is a "short s...

Taking the Plunge with Mixpo
2008-04-20 16:41:00
My First Experiment with Mixpo I took the plunge and ordered Mixpo from Activerain. Thanks to Brad Andersohn, walking me through it the first time, I was able to put this first video together. Brad promises me he is going to be doing a step by step tutorial on it. There are so many things you can do with it that it will take me some time playing around with it to get good. I think I deleted and started over so many times my eyes were crossed. Yea, I said "absolutely" way too much. Last Saturday we were at the Michigan spring football game, and while I was there, I did a quick interview with Paul Bunton, the Chief of Police in Saline, MI. I have known Paul for a while both through Saline School meetings and Saline Chamber of Commerce Events. Chief Bunton has been Chief since 1994, coming from the Ann Arbor Police Department. Mixpo is a dynamite program that we are fortunate to have the ability to use through Active Rain. To read more on it, read Brad Andersohns post on Getting ...

Two Tools, Instant Success
2008-04-14 19:08:00
Two Tools you might want to use that have really helped me are GetClicky and Flickr. Here’s why?   Yesterday was the Spring Practice game for the University of Michigan football team,  known at the “Maize and Blue” game. I went and took my FlipVideo camera. Last night I posted it up on YouTube and blogged about it on my Ann Arbor Real Estate Talk blog. GetClicky is a service that tracks who is looking at your blog, where they came from and most important what terms they are searching for. Today I went into my GetClicky site to check out my stat’s and to my surprise I was on page 1 , number 3 with Google for the search term Maize and Blue Spring Game 2008.  I was also on Page 1, number 5 for my Flickr photos I took at the game. This is also the event that Missy Caulk & TEAM were the sole sponsors for and my attempt of thinking outside the box. Now why am I excited about this? There are many blogs in Ann Arbor and...

April 15th, the Big Day
2008-04-11 23:03:00
The Big Weekend April 15th is the day....our taxes are due. So my guess is many of us will be gathering receipts and hitting the button on our QuickBooks or Quicken to pay Uncle Sam. Actually in 1862, Congress inacted the Tax Act to help fund the Civil War. The Act of 1862, also established the Internal Revenue to assess, levy and collect the taxes. Did you know the powers and responsibility remain pretty much the same 146 years later? When Congress passed the first law it was a forerunner to our progressive, modern withholding of our taxes. This year many Americans will be receiving rebates of between $300 to $1200. from the government . Businesses have already started thinking of marketing campaigns of ways to get you to spend the rebate. My advice, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Not everyone will get a rebate. If you owe the government money, you will not get the rebate. ( back taxes ). Gross incomes for singles making $75,000 and married couples with gros...

Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County Condo Reports March 2008
2008-04-10 00:05:00
March Condo Reports Just like the residential market in Ann Arbor , the condo market saw a reduction of the number of listings that came on the market in March by 47%. The average sales price of condo's in Washtenaw County was $145,930. That is down over 28% since March of 2007. The number of closing is down 12%. With both those things declining, sellers are noting that the lower priced condo's are selling faster. Buyers are very picky and with so many units on the market, they have a chance to be extremely picky. Sellers need to contantly be aware of the number that are selling and what the selling price is. It is advised that you consult with a professional Realtor who will keep you updated as to the changes on a monthly basis. Data obtained my Big House Data LLC, in Ann Arbor, Mi from the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors.

Washtenaw County 1st Quarter Market Reports including Ann Arbor
2008-04-08 23:48:00
1st Quarter Market ing Reports Homes are selling in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County , but they absolutely MUST be priced right. When I say, "priced right", I am not referring to market value. I am talking below market value. Buyers want a deal, a bargin. The average sale price throughout Washtenaw County is down to $205,400. When  I started my journey in Real Estate the average sale price was $269,900.  This is down 11% compared to March of 2007. Throughout Washtenaw County there is a 14.8 month supply of homes on the market. The $1 milllion dollar price range is the hardest hit with a 5.75 years worth of inventory. The $100,000 to $ 199,999 homes are the strongest in Ann Arbor with only 11.4 months of inventory. Homes under $200,000. in Ann Arbor use to sell with muliple offers in days not months for a comparison. The number of closings did increase my 3% from March 2007 to March 2008. Now that the worst year in history for snow in Michigan is over, I expect that to increase the...

Do Buyers get Buyers Remorse in Ann Arbor?
2008-04-08 03:47:00
 Many buyer will get it? How do you deal with it? How do you prevent it? Many times buyers in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County after having their offer accepted on a house they loved, begin to question their decision they have written an offer on. “Can I afford it?”  “Will something come along that is better?”  “Has the market hit the bottom?” These are all questions that may make buyers have a sudden attack of what is commonly called among Realtors as “Buyers Remorse .” How do you handle it? One of the things I do is first let them question their feelings. They are valid and need to be acknowledged. Secondly, I’ll refresh their memories, we’ll talk about the house they have the offer on, the positive things they saw in it. Then we’ll review the discussion we had at the beginning of their home search, what they were looking for, what were their “must haves” and what were “we&r...

Michigan Transfer Tax Act
2008-04-08 02:26:00
                                                    Attorney General Mike Cox issued an important opinion this week clarifying the proper application of an obscure exemption contained in the Michigan Transfer Tax Act. The opinion, arising out of a request from Representative Martin Griffin (D-Jackson), should afford certain home sellers immediate financial relief as Michigan’s real estate market continues its road to recovery. Exemption “t”, as designated in the Michigan Transfer Tax Act, sets forth that a seller may seek an exemption from paying the state transfer tax if the following criteria are met: The property must have been occupied as a principle residence, classified as homestead property; The property’s State Equalized Value (“SEV”) for the calendar year in which the transfer is made must be less th...

Active Rain Video Contest

Activerain Video Contest I wrote a post on April 2nd, about being in prison, by our thoughts and actions, doing the same o same o. It was inspired by Seth Godins book, The Purple Cow, and musings on how to figure out what we can do that is remarkable in our business. An opportunity arose for the Missy Caulk TEAM to be the sole sponsors of the Maize and Blue, University of Michigan Spring football game next Saturday. So the old bear, (me) was not in favor but my young cub (Christa) was, so mama bear gave in and we decided to go for it.

Are You in Prison?
2008-04-03 04:46:00
Are you in Prison ? What do I mean by that? When a person is in prison, they are locked up, confined to limited quarters, food, water, cigarettes, day to day, same o same o, basically survival. We can also be in prison even though we are FREE. Are you depending on the same o same techniques, the daily grind, confined by our own thoughts and the same way of doing business? Rich Jacobson proposed the question in a post about Seth Godins book, the Purple Cow a few weeks back. It actually didn?t get as many comments as I thought it would. Perhaps we just don?t know what ?remarkable? would be in our business so we passed it by. I did a TEAM exercise with my TEAM, and asked ?What can we do that is Remarkable?? Silence????????

Michigan Senate and House to Agree on Tax Reform
2008-04-01 03:47:00
The Michigan Senate passed legislation to hopefully stimulate the housing industry in Michigan. A similar stimulus package was passed by the Michigan House last year which would give homeowners a 18 month moratorium on the “pop-up” tax. What’s the “pop-up” tax? It is tax in Michigan that effect homeowners when they sell their home and want to move up to purchase a new one. For example, you buy a home in Michigan and the new home buyer gets a notice of an increase in their taxes. Since Proposal A was introduced, it gives the Townships and Municipalities the ability to increase taxes when the home owner sells to the new buyer and the deed is transferred. Under the Headly amendment, taxes could only be increased up to the rate of inflation or 5% whichever is less. However, when the deed in transferred to the new home owners, taxes go up to the current assessed values. Here is an example: We were thinking about down-sizing a few years ago. Didn’t ne...

Where did Ann Arbor get it's Name?
2008-03-31 23:38:00
Downtown Ann Arbor is characterized by architectural diversity as a result of the growth that began in the early 1800?s and has spread outward. When I first moved to Ann Arbor , I was amazed at the vibrancy of all the older buildings. Living in downtown Ann Arbor is a quality of life-style and the prices of homes in the downtown area are priced for the lifestyle they afford. I recently posted on how much Ann Arbor people like to walk. There has been much debate through the years and history buffs disagree on how Ann Arbor got its name. Legend has it that Ann Arbor was named after the two mens wives, that founded Ann Arbor, two settlers named John Allen and Elisha Rumsey. They made their way from Detroit and registered the name AnnArbour after their wives. John?s wife was named Ann and Elisha?s wife middle name was Ann. The name was registered on February 12, 1824 as AnnArbour, because of the grape arbours and lush vegetation. Originally registered AnnArbour, and later separated ...

Helping Clients get Taxes Lowered in Ann Arbor Area
2008-03-31 14:35:00
Taxes Lowered Taxes Lowered Over a month ago, when we were getting our yearly tax assessments in Michigan, I sent out an email to my past clients and offered to help if they needed any help in fighting their assessments. Michigan is in a declining market and yet the values of some peoples homes were still going up. Huh? One of the homes I sold last year, was only 9 months old, the sellers had paid $515,000. to the builder and it was a beautiful custom built, all brick home. They were Pfizer relocating sellers and we were able to get the house for them for $420,000. When new assessments came out our new homeowners were still being assessed on the $515,000. So Ms New Homeowner called me and asked for help. We pulled comps, in their neighborhood and their township. They went before the local municipality which is in York Township, Saline Schools. Here is a letter I received via email: Hi Missy & Betty- I wanted to thank you both again for t...

Home Warranties
2008-03-31 01:59:00
HOME WARRANTIES We had and inspection on 1941 Geddes in Ann Arbor, the seller is in Arizona, an elderly woman. Before the Realtor, who is also their neighbor left for her vacation she had the house winterized. It is an older home and pipes run through the unheated underground garage. When we showed up for the inspection the water was off. So we removed the contingency on the home inspection, ?subject to the water being turned on to re-inspect before closing. We arrived on the day of closing, with the inspector to re-inspect the water. The water was still not on. So I called the Listing Agent and she said the Plumber was not able to get in to de-winterize the house, the day before because the door was locked. OK... how about a phone call? So we could delay closing or out of courtesy? So we call and the plumber comes out in about an hour. Now a H2O tank has been drained and it takes time to fill it. So we waited, the water in the kitchen is getting hot. The inspector checks the hot...

Real Estate Market Historically is like a Roller Coaster
2008-03-23 22:28:00
Real Estate is Like A Roller Coaster Friday night we were having dinner at Bridgewater Bank in Saline, MI. It was crazy snowing and the restaurant was not too crowded, so we lingered. No one was in a hurry to get out and scrape their windshieds to go home. We were with Debi Gould and her husband Dan. Debi just recently signed up to begin blogging on Activerain, so if you get a minute go over and say hello and encourage her to continue to blog. Dan and my husband Mike get along famously, which is so nice to be able to have friends where both couples are in sync.

Ann Arbor not Exempt from Foreclosures
2008-03-19 23:12:00
To those of us who live in Ann Arbor , we have always thought we were exempt from the rest of the state of Michigan when it came to the housing industry downturns. Not this time. A quick look at Foreclosurenet.net will give you a list of all the foreclosure homes in Washtenaw County. There are 298 homes listed on this site. Most of foreclosed homes in Ann Arbor and in the State of Michigan are due to homeowners either loosing their jobs or being transferred and not being able to sell their homes for what they owe.In the 90?s many homeowners were quick to refinance their homes, assuming the market would continue to rise at the historical 8% in Washtenaw County rate. Opps, it didn?t happen and the refinance appraisals were coming in high. As a Realtor when I visit sellers and the homeowner tells me they had an appraisal that was higher than what I determined the market value for selling to be, the homeowners were dismayed. Traditionally refinance appraisals are always high, a...

Well, we sprung forward in Ann Arbor and Saline, but where is Spring? I don?t know about you but I am ready for summer. Time to see the flowers pop out of the ground. Did you know you can buy organic flowers to grow in your garden?According to an Article from Environmental News Network, the flower industry is one of the heaviest users of agricultural chemicals and 60% of the flowers sold in the U.S. are imported from countries whose environmental standards are more lax than ours.Roses for example can contain up to 50 times the amount of pesticides that are legally allowed in on the food we eat.I love beautiful flowers in my home, throughout the year, but lately I?ve been pondering about the environmental issues and the workers that are being exposed to those chemicals every day.Project Grow is a non-profit group in Ann Arbor, that will loan you space and give you the knowledge to grow organically.
