Lease With Option To Buy In The Ann Arbor Real Estate Market
2007-12-21 18:58:00
Is this worthwhile for sellers to consider?With many people trying to get SOME action on their home, sellers may consider a lease option.  I thought this point from Candace B. Pinaud, Leave No Stone Mortgage Lending, www.LeaveNoStone.com was worth sharing.  We are strongly urging any one considering a lease with option in the Ann Arbor Real Estate market to consult with an attorney.  We are helping many clients simultaneously market homes for sale and lease.  This way, the client can look at whichever option avails itself first.  As the market slows down a number of sellers may want to sell their home through a lease with an option to buy. Typically, the seller will offer the lessee/buyer that they will devote a portion of the monthly lease toward the buyer’s down payment. Example: Lease fee is $1,500 per month with seller agreeing to credit $200 per month toward the buyer’s down payment a year from now; equating to $2400 down payment c...

Staging Your Ann Arbor Home
2007-12-17 22:09:00
A staged home sells, on average, 17% higher than an unstaged home     What is Staging ? Staging is the art of preparing a home for a sale regardless of its price, condition, or location.  It is the most effective way to get the most money for the sale of your home. The buyer is more apt to take interest in your home if it is presented in an orderly and somewhat stylized fashion. Think of selling your home as being on an interview. You wouldn’t go to an interview in everyday clothes.  You would get a new suit.  Staging is that new suit!Click here to search all listings in Michigan with pictures and tours - FREE!Kathy Toth & Teamwww.KathyToth.comReal Estate OneSee AlsoStaging Your Home to SellPlease visit our website to see what you can do to stage your homeWant to Sell Your House Fast AND Make More Money?Read our latest Press Release to learn how you can do just that

Ann Arbor real estate is prone to market cycles. But a down market may be the best time to investReal Estate Investment Opportunities AboundAn excerpt of an article By Kamil Skawinski • Bankrate.comReal estate has its market cycles like any type of investment, and lately it's been getting bad press. Investors may have second thoughts about putting money in this asset class right now, what with all the talk about a bursting housing bubble, the glut of unsold condominiums and homes, declining property values and the growing number of foreclosures. However, the benefits of real estate ownership are plentiful, whether you are in the market for hands-on or hands-off investments, and whether you're looking for income or capital appreciation potential. But it's always important to examine and fully understand what you're getting into before signing any documents or writing any checks.To read the entire Real Estate Investment Opportunities Abound article, Click here.Click here to s...

He finished his meal with a perfect crème brulee and a Spanish coffee.  Our server, Lisa was very professional and quick.

Will New Ann Arbor Design Guidelines Help Downtown Development?
2007-12-09 04:15:00
Ann Arbor's city council has approved a new set of design guidelines that could be implemented as soon as springtimeCritics call them "too vague" and proponents site flexibility - will Ann Arbor's new design guidelines provide a palette for development that will stand the test of time?  As recently as a month ago, the city council approved a new set of guidelines outlining details such as building height, roof materials, window type and design, and pedestrian layouts.  Although guidelines have been determined they are not yet mandatory.  Council members hope they will provide a great forum for developers and city planners to easily work toward final approvals. Interesting to note: several recent downtown projects, such as Loft 322 and Ashley Terrace, would not meet Ann Arbor's new guidelines.  Loft 322 is cited by the council for poor design with a parking structure as the entrance.  However, developer Ed Shaffran says people wouldn't buy ...

Inspectors investigate attics, crawl spaces, test appliances, and evaluate major mechanicals, plumbing, etc.  Sellers who are aware of the physical condition of the house and its systems prior to sale have an opportunity to repair or replace the defects before the negotiation phase.  Clearly any safety issues should be identified by Sellers and or Buyers.

Can Ypsilanti, Michigan Compete to Become the Next Ann Arbor?

Some developers think Ypsilanti is primed for new growthArmed with a recent $25,000 infusion from the State of Michigan for downtown revitalization, Ypsilanti MI hopes to become the next Ann Arbor .  Less expensive real estate options, Ann Arbor's talent pool, and a major university are the key factors in attracting jobs and new investment to the area.  Local developer, Stuart Beal, believes Ypsilanti is ready, according to an excerpt from Crain's Detroit Business:Ypsilanti is ripe for investment. He [Beal] was behind the $3.5 million West Michigan Loft Apartments project that saw 20 luxury lofts built in five downtown buildings.  "I think there's far less risk in investing in Ypsilanti than Ann Arbor based on percentage of return on investment,” Beal said. “You can buy real nice property with only $30,000 in Ypsilanti.
