Ortonville Michigan Steals!
Normally I try to check new listings, price reductions, back on the market listings, etc on a daily basis, but I have to admit that today was the first time in almost 3 weeks I checked my updates for Ortonville MI (Brandon Township). Maybe because the list was longer than when I check every day or two, I was amazed at the amount of great deals that have recently hit the market.
$135K can get you a bank owned new construction brick ranch with a garage and basement- complete with appliances.
$134K gets you a 2000 sq ft all sports lake front on 1/2 acre, built in 1997.
For only $126K you can buy a totally updated 3 bedroom ranch on 5 acres. Not a huge house and it doesn't appear to be anything special- a basic ranch with a garage and basement on 5 acres.
$600,000 gets you a 3600 sq. ft. contemporary with over 500 ft. of all sports lake frontage, 7 acres and horses allowed. Who would have dreamed of being able to have your horse property AND lake property all in one for that price just 5 or 6 years ago?
I saw a 2 year old home with granite counters- photos showed like a model. $160K.
1900 sq. ft. house on 2 acres backing to 5500 acres of state land and a view of a 40 acre lake. House was updated and features granite counters, stainless steel appliances. Basement, garage and pole barn. $140,000.
There were a handful of homes on 2-5 acres that appeared to be in very good condition for under $150,000.
Admittedly the inventory is still low and the houses I wrote about above aren't the norm. The point is, if you have a diligent agent who checks for new listings (and price reductions) on a regular basis, there are great deals to be found. I have a sale pending right now that I sent to my buyer client the day it hit the market and we were able to look at it and make an offer before we got into a multiple offer situation. I wrote an offer last night for another buyer client of mine who I sent a listing to the day it reduced into her price range. And hopefully our offer will be accepted before other offers come in.
