Cheksea Market Dynamics

When the gap between the list prices and the sold prices narrows, (supply and demand) the market will be more stable. Our buyer agents have several Chelsea homes under contract, awaiting closing. We have several more buyers looking for Chelsea homes right now. The $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit is allowing more buyers to enter in the market. We are seeing multiple offers on properties.

Regarding absorption, see chart below:

Ann Arbor Michigan - City Council Discusses New Budget Coming Soon

Here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it is that time of year again. Budget time.

Roger Fraser, City Administrator for Ann Arbor, presents a proposed budget in May, consisting of a two year plan to the City Council to adopt by the third Monday in May 2009. There is a tax revenue decline from Ann Arbor Real Estate property taxes so there is a negative effect on the budget. The proposed budget would likely reduce staffing would likely be reduced - including some police and civilian roles.

Seventy five percent of employees are represented by collective bargaining. Positions and health care reductions are being examined to achieve 10 percent savings over two years as presented in video below.

If you are having difficulty viewing the video you can see it by clicking here.

Services will be affected while all parties will try to maintain protection for the citizens. The impact on parks will include less frequent grass cutting an maintenance. Street sweeping, and maintenance of gravel roads will be reduced. The budget proposed that Leslie Science Center will not be supported by the City. Burns Park Senior Center will be not be funded in the budget as well. The budget changes will ensure that the City will function and continue to operate.
