The real estate market

It's hard to believe its summer here in Northern Michigan, with the wave of cooler air hitting and the lack of traffic. This has been a trend over the last few summers, where the month of June is quite slow in regards to real estate activity here in the Indian River area. One can make a whole lot of assumptions and point a lot of fingers, but the fact is our summers are even shorter now for the "prime selling season".

July and August rank highest in our area for volume of visitors, and volume of transactions written. Last year there was a terrific 6 week period where it was as if the bad economy didn't matter, and many homes were under contract. And then, like a switch was turned off, the frenzy ceased and people went back home.

This year there are more homes for sale, and appears to be better pricing as well. If there are people ready, willing, and able to purchase real estate, they can expect a large selection and overall good pricing, whether it is waterfront, acreage, in town or out of town.

Take some time and browse my real estate website for some beautiful deals and let me know how I can help you take advantage of this market.
