CALLING ALL FINANCIAL ANALYSTS I NEED SOME OPINIONS!

Spring 2011 is almost upon us in Manistee County and I’m trying to THOUGHTFULLY draw some general conclusions on the state of our real estate market in Manistee County…..here is some raw data on sales over the last 4 years which I hope will help us see into the crystal ball and predict what the end of 2011 may look like. Or not J

Excluding vacant land sales, concentrating solely on, residential, condos and farms here are some numbers back to 2007. In addition to looking at each successive calendar year statistics I pulled the results from Jan 1 of each year through March 7^th. Below are the numbers on the number of sales closed, number of days on the market between listing and closing, the average price per square foot, and the average sales price.

LIVE WHERE THE ACTION IS!

I had a young couple last summer that gave me the greatest marketing advice I’ve ever heard for wanting to live in the City of Manistee. They wanted to “live where the action is”. What a great concept. Live within walking distance to stores, the Theatre, River Street, Lake Michigan public beaches, boat launches, everything is at your fingertips. I did find them the perfect house, and now I’ve got another great deal on the market just for you!

Located at 813 Cherry Street with views of Lake Michigan and facing the Manistee Country Club golf course don’t wait to see this RED HOT DEAL. MLS # 10003852 only $119,900.

Want some Peace?

The Perfect Home on 20 Awesome Acres with Pond

Lynda Beaton — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:47:00 GMT

RED HOT DEALS

PRICE DROP FROM $279,000 TO $197,900. DON’T WAIT.

Realtors are human too and just every so often, we are privileged to list a property that speaks directly to us. In other words, the perfect home, a place we could build our own nest in……

My dream has always been to live in the woods. However, at some point in life camping became tiresome and my husband and I spent 15 years remodeling an old Sears Craftsman style home in Oxford. You guessed it, we are done with that….

A new house surrounded by trees with plenty of wildlife became the goal. And we now have a delightful home. Sadly the decorating gene I had hoped to inherit from my Mother is missing from my DNA makeup. Thankfully, I have a husband who is very forgiving.

Getting back to joys of being a Realtor, this new listing came my way and I am THRILLED with it. Not only did the seller build a lovely home in 1999, but she has exquisite taste. If you are dreaming of a place on 20 generously wooded acres with a pond in the back stocked with bluegills check out mls #2936291 – 3 bedroom2 with 2 full baths doesn’t capture the love, the memories and the quality you will find in this comfortable home. You may fall in love all over again.
