Want To Search the Entire Stock of Active Homes?

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Chimp in thoughtOne of the most powerful tools we offer our clients is direct access to the same database real estate professionals use to search nearly 10,000 properties in the greater Ann Arbor area. With email and other state-of-the-art technology, we at Team366 keep our buyers informed of current market activity and provide additional time-sensitive information that keeps our clients several steps ahead of the competition.

With nothing less than your financial future at stake, it’s critical that you stay abreast of current market trends and become extremely familiar with pricing. 

To insure that our clients are well equipped with the right information, Team366 subscribes to Big House Data, the best source for relevant market data available today in the Ann Arbor area. We do this so that our clients are the most well-informed buyers in the market today.  Because of our buyers’ knowledge of area real estate market trends, they are completely informed and ready to make timely decisions when the perfect home becomes available.

Additionally, Team366 is pleased to announce that we can now offer our clients the ability to MODIFY and SAVE searches on the multiple listing system. What this does for our buyers is allow them to receive as many or as few updates on new listings in any chosen area, at any price point or spread, with as many or few home features as they would like. This capability is HUGE and it provides our clients, a market advantage since great homes sell the quickest.  Being the first one to know often times makes acquiring the property much easier.  As my father says, ’The Early Bird Gets the Worm”.

If you, or anyone you know, is currently in the market, do yourself or them a favor and point them to Team366. We’ll be sure to provide the very best service available.

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Moving is an adjustment, whether you are moving across town or relocating across the country.Safety Kitty Says, "Plan Ahead!"Moving across town or to a new neighborhood may mean learning new routes to work, selecting a new dentist, and finding a new grocery store. It may also mean a change in schools if you have young children.Moving across the country can be much more challenging. Relocation is rarely easy.

Ann Arbor: A "Value-Driven" Market without Question

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

windowslivewriterannarboravaluedrivemarketwithoutquestion 110adchimpinthought thumb2 Ann Arbor: A "Value Driven" Market without QuestionAs a Realtor, I am often asked what kind of market we are in and my response is always the same.

I say that, contrary to what you are being fed by the media, it is not a buyer’s market or a seller’s market.  It is a “value-driven” market, period, end of story.

What I mean by this is that no matter the market cycle, most buyers look for the best value and sellers attempt to position their homes to attract ready, willing and able buyers–no buyer, no sale, right?

During my past 14 years, and I suspect as long as trade has existed, ready, willing, and able buyers have had to pay more than they’d like to and sellers have sold their goods for less than what they though they should.

Buyers and Sellers don’t make decisions in a vacuum, however.  Reasonable people make resonable decisions.  Whether those decisions were great or not, is not decided until after the fact.  After all, hindsight is always 20/20.

My advice is that when buying homes purchasers should consider their primary residence as an investment in lifestyle, not a pure investment.

In the end, it is a bonus if the market swings to the sellers’ favor prior to a sale, but it is certainly not what a financial future should rest upon.
