Oakland County Home Sale Report

May 17, 20102 for Oakland County Michigan

Ok, Realcomp 2 comes out with the sales numbers for April 2012 covering Oakland County. But before we cover their report let me say how we see our local real estate market.

Our market has a shortage of inventory. The shortage of inventory has helped our home prices increase and we have been seeing homes selling in days compared to weeks or months. New listings or homes that are priced right seem to be selling quickly and we need inventory.

If you have been thinking about selling a home, it might be time. Just give us a call and get the current value of your home. You might be surprised.

Commentary: Generation Y Takes Creativity by the Horns

Posted By susanne On April 12, 2012 @ 3:39 pm In Today’s Home Spun Wisdom |

[1](MCT)—Periodically and cyclically, the economy will stink, even more so for people who are less experienced, educated or trained, the youngest members of the work force.

The Depression walloped one generation. The recession, oil shortage, and stagflation whipped mine. Many classmates avoided the job market, or the pronounced lack thereof, by diving into grad school and further debt, which drove them toward more lucrative professional if not necessarily innovative endeavors.

Consumers Can Learn Credit Awareness with Experian Credit Advisors, Inc.

Posted By susanne On April 12, 2012 @ 3:42 pm In Consumer News and Advice,Home Owner News | Comments Disabled

As many people celebrate the arrival of warmer weather and Spring Break vacations, the freecreditscore.com™ band took to the sun and surf to star in the newest freecreditscore.com television commercial, “Credit Wipeout.” The new 30-second spot, draws attention to the situations that can impact a person’s credit status while encouraging consumers to learn more about those factors.

“Every individual’s personal credit story is unique, and we’ve found that bringing financial factors to life in a fun and relatable way, such as in the new commercial, helps people understand the impact simple actions can have on their credit scores,” says Ken Chaplin, senior vice president of marketing for freecreditscore.com. “Experian Credit Advisors, Inc. helps individuals better understand how to take control of their credit.”

Experian Credit Advisors, Inc. (an affiliated company, in partnership with the iQual Corporation), offers freecreditscore.com members personal, one-on-one sessions, designed to empower consumers to proactively manage their credit through education and useful tips, in an effort to provide a better understanding of credit and the role it plays in their lives.

“Through our agreement with Experian Credit Advisors, Inc., iQual Corporation will offer credit advisory sessions to freecreditscore.com customers who purchase the service,” says Jeff Mandel, CEO of iQual Corporation. “We provide Experian Credit Advisors, Inc. customers with highly trained credit advisors, timely access to credit education, and online resources focused on financial literacy and empowerment, which may help individuals improve credit scores, qualify for new credit, and even reduce unnecessary monthly interest expense.”

March 14th, 2012

From Houselogic.com

Green trends in 2012 include smart appliances, homes that cut your electric bill, and space-saving city homes. Advantage Institute, a nonprofit green building resource that has certified more than 12,000 homes, says home owners will see seven green building trends in the year ahead:

Urban density
With empty-nesters and young people flocking to cities, builders will take advantage of unused spaces in cities to construct accessory dwelling units, laneway homes (bordering the back lane behind the main house), and to build on infill lots.

By Erica Christoffer, multimedia Web producer, REALTOR® Magazine

How do designers and stagers stay on top of the latest trends and solutions for home interiors?

 

Check out Pinterest, a new social media site where members “pin” photos they like from around the Web to themed image boards on their personal page. Pins are shared with friends and other users, and Pinterest offers an integration option to share images to Facebook and Twitter. You must request an invitation to join, which takes less than one week to receive (my invite came after two days).
