February 2009 Lansing, MI Market Report

February 2009

Well the February numbers are in and I am very happy to say that we saw a noticeable increase in all 3 counties for average sales prices as compared to January 2009. We also saw increases in total units sold all the way across the board.

We are still seeing a drop in the average sales price as compared to last year during February and that is a trend we expect to continue with all of the real estate owned (REO's or Foreclosures) properties that are being listed. Personally I have noticed an increase in activity on my traditional listings as well as new buyer activity.
