Today I want to tell you about a great online tool we offer all our clients called the Market Snapshot. You can check out the Market Snapshot tool here. Using it is easy, and it provides you with a quick and comprehensive report of your local market conditions.

To use it, all you have to do is fill in some of your information (phone number, email address, etc.) and declare whether you’re a buyer or seller. Most of our clients who are looking to sell their homes use this to get a sense of what’s selling in their current neighborhood. If that’s the case for you, your next step will be to fill in your home’s details and then click the ‘get free report’ button.

“

This tool gives you a great sense of what’s happening in your area.

”

You’ll then receive an email notification shortly afterward. This email provides you the link to your report. In that report, you can see the average asking price in your neighborhood, the average list-to-sale price, the average days on market, and the level of inventory. Below those statistics, you can browse other comparable properties that have sold in your area.

Another cool feature this report has is an overhead, satellite-image map that lets you see the locations of new listings, current inventory, sold properties, properties under contract, and expired listings. For your convenience, each category is color-coded. The map also lets you zoom in and out, and you can click on any of the colored properties for more details.

If you have any questions or are interested in getting a local market report and need assistance utilizing this tool, feel free to give me a shout. I’d be happy to help!

Are We Headed Towards a Housing Bubble?

People have been asking us a lot lately if we’re headed towards a housing bubble in Southeastern Michigan. It makes sense why people think that, because prices have gone up dramatically, and are predicted to go up over 5.5% in the U.S. in 2016. 

However, just because prices are going up doesn’t mean we are headed towards a bubble. There was a combination of factors that led to the most recent bubble in 2006/2007, including the fact that lending guidelines were very loose. Mortgages aren’t as easy to come by now, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

“

There’s an opportunity right now if you choose to take it.

”

Another reason people believe we’re headed towards a bubble is because of the increased home values we’re seeing. In reality, a middle-income household doesn’t need to overstretch their budget to buy a typical home. To qualify for a home, you will likely need to make an income of over $40,000, but payments are still well below what they were in 2005 and even 2000.

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling, now is the time to make a decision. If prices continue to go up, and interest rates go up too, homeownership is only going to get more expensive. There’s an opportunity right now if you choose to take it.

If you have any more questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
