Clarkston, Mi Real Estate- A Rip Roaring Market!

You are the first to see a home just listed and decide that it is an incredible deal. You follow the usual steps, write the offer based on the neighborhood sold and based on the condition of the home: quickly get the offer in just to find out there are other bids. It is unbelievable how quickly you get into a bidding war. Then before you know it, the listing agent is asking for highest and best offer. What a whirlwind trying to inform first time buyers of the process. A lot of these well priced homes are foreclosures, they are missing the kitchen cabinets, showers, toilets, medicine cabinets, walls, doors, ect.

These homes, with missing fixtures, will probably be going for cash or a fix up loan such as a FHA 203k.. Some of the government backed loans [Freddie- Fannies] will only sell to owner occupants in the first 15 days of the listing period, then investors can bid after the 15 days. So that is a really good thing for folks who need a home to live in, to get a bid on a home like this. HURRY HURRY

Tempers flare with so much emotion in this incredible housing market, with lower interest rates, even as low as 4%. What a early spring market in Real Estate in Oakland County Mi! The homes are getting harder to find , and they are pending as soon as they are listed [if priced right.]

Oakland County Homes Are Selling Very Quickly…

If They Are Priced Right. Nearly all the lower priced homes are gone here in Clarkston, Independence Township, Springfield Township, and The Village of Clarkston, Michigan. West Bloomfield, Commerce, White Lake Township, lower priced homes are very hot. There are many more wonderful less expensive homes in Waterford, and some even have lake access,. Those listings are selling so quick if they are not stripped and have a kitchen and full bath. Hard to believe a lot of homes are missing the kitchen cabinets so the homes won’t be mortgageable, except by the 204 k mortgage or cash. The FHA loan is a great option for first time buyers with less than 20% monies down or less of a credit score.

It is very hard to let first time buyers know how quick they need to act. What a wonderful time for investors, ‘Real Estate is a much better investment than the 401 ks’!!

Short Sales In Oakland County

Short Sales here in Oakland County Mi will have a very good chance of
closing here, at Keller Williams of Clarkston Mi.

At Keller Williams Real Estate, we have counselors that will
handle the transaction.  We have a 95% close rate. We have attorneys
to handle all your worries so you can move on with your life. Don’t
let your home go into foreclosure and ruin your credit for many years.
With today’s reduced property values and increased unemployment, it’s
tempting for some homeowners to just throw their hands up in defeat,
allow the bank to take your home in foreclosure and rid them selves of
the monthly mortgage burden.

Few borrowers will ever be able to handle this on their own, all the
calls and paperwork; you definitely need an attorney and a realtor to
help you with this.

There are many benefits of a short sale and typically outweigh the
ease of walking away in a foreclosure. Your credit will not be as
bruised as in foreclosure; our attorneys can advise you on this.

In a short sale, the bank agrees to take a lesser amount for the home
than what is owed on a loan, lenders sometimes are willing to write
off the deficiency.

Let’s meet and discuss your options.  I am always looking for homes to market.

Welcome To Clarkston, MI

We are enjoying a terrific winter with, so far, temps above 30 degrees. It has been nice to take a stroll look in the windows of downtown and not be freezing. Wearing a light jacket is all we have needed this early January. Let’s pray for more of this weather.

The homes are selling with higher prices this January 2012, and so quick. We can’t even get the pictures on the MLS and videos before they are pending. Now is the time to sell!!!

I am really looking for listings to market and hold open for our big open house weekend. Anyone interested keep me in mind.

Clarkston is a very special place to live with a high quality of life. We have very good schools, and such a nice public library on Clarkston road. We love our restaurants downtown, The Union, and the Clarkston Woodshop, voted#1 restaurant and so many unique stores. You never know who you will see there. They are such gathering places.

We don’t have the traffic jams like Rochester and Lake Orion, and we are minutes from shopping and skiing, concerts, golf, and many county parks and metro parks. When you come up I-75 and get off at Main, you can take a deep breath and relax. You are here. Clarkston Mi.
