but I am slammed right now. I have quite a few buyers trying to cash in on the Metro Detroit first time home buyer tax credit. We only have about 40 days to get a purchase contract accepted if you need a mortgage.
I have been going out 3 times a day with different buyers for the last 7 days. I am actually confused on somedays when another real estate agent asks me to give them feedback on a home I saw two or three days ago. That could be one of 40 -50 homes that I have seen.
It's a good thing that so many people are taking advantage of Metro Detroit real estate bargains. So many nice homes still under $100,000. It is amazing . I was on one street where there was a Westland HUD foreclosure and bank foreclosure. Both were great prices but there was still a $20,000 difference in price and they were on the same street! Tremendous bargains to be had.
I have seen some very nice homes under $50,000. I have seen some excellent flipped homes. What I mean by that is some investor bought a trashed home. Then they completely rehabbed the house. They have stripped the bathrooms and kitchens, carpeting and made the house a beautiful home.

your local Metro Detroit Realtor helping clients like you sell and buy homes through out the entire Metro Detroit suburbs. I love showing and selling Oakland County and Livingston County Lake front homes too.
Awesome news, Russ. If you dont mind, I would love to link this post to mine I wrote recently. I want to show Buyers that I'm not dreaming these Multiple Offer Situations in a Buyer's market.
Good for you Russ. I have to admire any agent who can work the Detroit area and stay optimistic.
Congrats on the steady stream of business!
Still no buyers here, it make take us a little longer to come back over this direction.
Hi Russ ~ I am slammed too.. I haven't been on AR for a week. I have first time buyers, but more investors and waterfront buyers. I assume it is because of the interest rate or better than the stock market?? Humm... I don't know and loving it..
