Leasing Market Heats Up

As lenders have tightened up credit in the wake of the foreclosure fallout, many people are finding they can no longer afford to buy a home resulting in rents rising around the area.

For example, a condo I listed last year leased for $1,400/month while this year they are getting $1,550/month. Many of the first time buyers I'm working with are telling me they are buying because it's cheaper than what they'll pay when their lease is up. If you'd like to check out whether you can buy, give me a call.

If you plan on moving out of the area in the next 2-3 years, it's likely leasing may make the most sense. Here are a couple of properties listed for lease to check out:


11667 Morgan, Plymouth
3 bedroom, 1 bath Plymouth Ranch with 2 car garage and fenced yard
$1,200/month






42661 Faulker, Novi
3 bedroom, 2.2 bath Novi Cape Cod with gourmet Kitchen, finished basement and 2 car garage
$2,300/month

Increased Sales But Half Are Foreclosures

Realcomp, our local and Michigan's largest Multiple Listing Service, released the latest sales figures recently indicating a 12.7% year to date increase in sales over last year for the entire MLS.

Although the number of homes on the market has declined an average of 7%, more the half the homes sold in May were foreclosures.

The good news is that Michigan has dropped to 5th in the nation in foreclosures, many homes are now priced to sell, and interest rates are still at historic low levels.

A particularly good bargain right now are HUD homes. They are currently offering buyer incentives of only $500 down and $2,500 at closing if you're buying the property as a principle residence. These incentives are valid through the end of September so if you know someone who has been thinking about taking the homeownership leap, now is definitely the time.

For those of you thinking about buying for investment, now is also a great time to expand your portfolio. There are lots of really great deals out there.
