Northern Michigan Weblog: Cars vs. Cribs: How the Tax Credits stack up
http://nwmirealestate.blogspot.com/2009/06/4500-cash-for-clunkers.html
Northern Michigan Real Estate and Life in general. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Cars vs. Cribs: How the Tax Credits stack up. The passing of the $4500 "Cash for Clunkers" tax credit. Let's compare this incentive to the $8000 first time buyer tax credit, shall we? Average new-car transaction price has dropped to $27,941, according to The Wall Street Journal. Compare this with the 2008 US Median Sale Price of $198,100 (per this NAR. The current tax credit is good, but far too limited. While the automotive...

Northern Michigan Weblog: November 2008
http://nwmirealestate.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Northern Michigan Real Estate and Life in general. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Watch for falling mortgage rates. Fannie Mae's intraday MBS yield is falling sharply, which means that mortgage rates will likely follow. The drop is significant, and likely is in part tied to the new Treasury plan to buy Mortgage Backed Securities. Homeowners who may have been considering a refi should also consider taking action now. In other words, real estate is on sale, and mortgage money is going on sale too! It's been a...

Northern Michigan Weblog: Spring has Sprung!
http://nwmirealestate.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-has-sprung.html
Northern Michigan Real Estate and Life in general. Thursday, April 16, 2009. It's been a darn good week here in Benzie County. The sun finally found its way back to our little corner of the world and warmed things up some. Most of the golf courses are now open (I even got out to play once! And most of the snow is gone. I've also heard that the steelhead fishing is great- Betty from Vacation Trailer Park. Which I have listed for sale. And on my listing for a secluded retreat on the Betsie River. Are he...

Northern Michigan Weblog: June 2009
http://nwmirealestate.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Northern Michigan Real Estate and Life in general. Friday, June 26, 2009. Take advantage of market micro trends. I handle REO (foreclosure) listings for several banks, including Bank of America and local banks, and the number. Of new listings incoming have dropped off dramatically recently. In conversation with others who handle these properties, and with local banks, this dip was often echoed. Driven by value, bank owned properties have cleared from the market at a rapid pace. What this information reve...

http://nwmirealestate.blogspot.com/2009/03/fannies-new-rule-matters-more-to-market.html
Northern Michigan Real Estate and Life in general. Friday, March 6, 2009. Fannie's new rule matters more to the market than it does to brokers. I noticed the new ruling by Fannie regarding "negotiating" commissions, and have to say I'm hopeful that it is a sign of positive direction. The link below provides more information about these new instructions. .
