You never know where you will find "Green" technology. My client and I have viewed a few homes 5-6. We keep going back to the same home. The more we look at the home the more we realize the "green" features. Keep in mind; this is a previous owner occupied home, not "new" construction which makes this more interesting.

Rain barrels are used to fill the pool. Rain barrels collect the water from eves. The collected then fills the pool by a hose running from the barrel to the pool. Rain barrels can also assist in preventing water in the basement and flooding yards. For more information please visit: http://www.arlingtonva.us/DEPARTMENTS/EnvironmentalServices/epo/EnvironmentalServicesEpoRainBarrel.aspx

The construction of the pool room was constructed SIP style, structural insulated panels. SIPS are made in the factory. Constructed inside, weather is not a factor with materials. Insulation is foam or Styrofoam that expands between to pieces of OSB, Oriented Strand Board. SIPS can be used to construct all exterior parts of a home or building. The SIPS come in sections and provide easy installation, energy efficiency and cost savings. For more information please visit: http://www.epsmolders.org/3-sips.html Exterior Cedarwood siding provides for low future maintenance. The material doesn't rot.

Insulation with a high R factor is needed in northern climates. The higher the R factor the more efficient.

Solar panels were installed to heat the pool. For more information please visit: http://www.poolcenter.com/heater_solar_poolstor.htm

Al Serra Hummer has out sold every other Hummer Dealership in the United States for the 3^rd year in a row! They sold approximately 900 Hummers. http://hummer.alserra.com/

With all the gloom and doom on the news, I hope this gives Genesee County a reality check. Try to eat at Logan's, Out Back Steak House, Olive Garden, ect on Friday or Saturday night with out having to wait 45 minutes to an hour. Record home sales are happening in Genesee County. Last year we had our 3^rd largest transaction year, we are way ahead of the year to date sales this year already. The prices are down, we have to sell to level the prices out and create a demand.

My husband and I were attempting to find our kids a used camper for the summer. That was nearly impossible. The used trailers went like hot cakes and the salesperson at General RV Birch Run Michigan said the new trailers are selling just as fast!

I wish the news media would talk about these positive issues...

Al Serra, Congratulations for more reasons than one!

Flushing homes sales were up over 55% in May of 2009 from May of 2008. Great news for a market that, dare we say may have stabilized? The average price is down and that has caused the swelling of the sales numbers, investors and first time buyers are picking up homes and condos as low at $15,000 with is about a 70% discount from 2005 prices on the low end.

This little Norman Rockwell like town with an average sales price of only $93,537. That is crazy.

See all the data from the May 2009 Market report here.

The months supply of Flushing Homes for sale is down to 7.75! Another great factor pointing to market stabilization. Search all the homes for sale at www.ChangingStreets.com
