Saint Clair Shores, MI

DVW receives an overwhelming amount of letters and emails, thanking service people for a job well done and for their advice on dryer vent maintenance and fire safety

St. Clair Shores, MI -- The U. S. Fire Administration reports over 15,000 dryer fires annually; most of these tragedies could be prevented with proper dryer vent cleaning and maintenance. About 80% of Americans have clothes dryers, yet most are unaware that annual dryer vent cleaning keeps their dryer running properly and prevents dryer fires. The service providers, at Dryer Vent Wizard of California, make sure their customers understand what needs to be done and how it will prevent a clothes dryer fire.

Mike Zalac, owner of DVW of South East Michigan, receives email, letters and phone calls from customers who just want to express their appreciation or refer a friend or loved one to have their dryer vent systems inspected. "The overwhelming consumer response has made us number one in dryer vent service in our area," says Mike. "I find this show of appreciation to be the most rewarding part of my job."

DVW urges consumers to visit their site for valuable information and a list of warning signs of dryer vent clogs. They also provide a free, downloadable video and brochure loaded with fire prevention tips and information. Most importantly, consumers can get free dryer vent safety tips and information by going to http://www.dryerventwizard.com

ST. CLAIR SHORES REAL ESTATE MARKET REPORT - May 2008

If you would like to know what your St. Clair Shores home is worth in today's market, give me a call to schedule an appointment for a free market analysis (cma). No pressure, no obligation.

The spring selling season continues! I'm happy to report that 54 homes closed in May slightly up from 52 in April.

ST. CLAIR SHORES MARKET REPORT FOR MAY - HOMES

• There were 54 home sales that closed in May
• The average list price was $112,218
• The highest list price was $280,000 & the lowest was $35,000
• The average sale price of those 54 transactions was $106,832
• The average total days on the market was 227
• 34 homes went under contract and are marked pending for the month of May.

Of those 54 closed transactions, 28 were bank owned & there were 2 waterfront homes that closed. As I've said in my previous market reports, it is tuff to see some of the bank owned homes selling real cheap and bringing values down, however I am still glad to see them continue to sell. The sooner the inventory goes down, the sooner the market can start to recover. My broker sent out an email earlier this month, and he feels that the market has officially hit bottom, and it should start leveling out and then eventually start to slowly make a recovery. I don't have a crystal ball, but I'm optimistic and have noticed business and sales starting to pick up.

ST. CLAIR SHORES MARKET REPORT FOR MAY - CONDOMINIUMS
