The Plymouth and Northville Spring Real Estate Market Rush has Begun!
The Plymouth and Northville Real Estate markets have done better than most over the past several years. And now with the local Automotive industry recording robust profits and paying out bonuses, combined with a more diversified local economic base, the residential Real Estate market has further strengthened in value.
Newly listed properties are often selling quickly while some properties are even receiving multiple offers. As usual, the homes with best locations, amenities, and updates will not only appeal to the most people, but also sell for the highest prices in the least amount of time.
Why is the recovery in Real Estate prices happening? Low inventory and more buyers seems to be the answer or simply less supply and more demand. There just aren’t enough properties on the market to satisfy buyers who feel more financially secure or are moving to the area. Here’s how Plymouth and Northville active real estate listings in February compare to the same time last year.
There are clearly fewer homes available and we don’t see the trend changing appreciably in the near future. The mild Winter kept buying traffic strong through the winter months and now with the Spring selling season kicking off, inventory is likely to remain limited.
So have Real Estate values really increased? Many of you have seen your 2012 Tax assessment increase for the second year in a row. This is a direct result of rising home prices. Keep in mind that these Tax assessments are a ‘lagging indicator’ of your home’s value as the assessment period ended approximately 5 months prior to when you received your new assessment. Here’s the year over year change (increase) in Real Estate prices for the month of February:

What does this mean for Plymouth and Northville Real Estate buyers and sellers?
For Buyers: We recommend finding a local buyer’s agent who can identify new homes just listed or soon to be listed. You should also get a pre-approval letter from a lender. And then you should educated yourself about the local market by seeing houses as they come on the market. You may need to act quickly so the more you know now, the faster you’ll be able to make a decision when the right house does come along.
For Sellers: If you’ve delayed putting your home on the market, this may be the time to sell. While other areas of Southeast Michigan may not be as strong as ours and prices were lower a couple of years ago, things have definitely changed. It’s a good time to sell right now in Plymouth and Northville. Of course, you’ll want the advice and assistance of an experienced local REALTOR since selling a home in today’s market can be a complicated and time-consuming process.

Northville Township Real Estate Values Stabilizing
Northville Township continues to be the destination of choice for many families in Western Wayne County with its larger, and newer homes on generous lots. Home prices are stabilizing as updated, well-presented homes with desirable locations command significant premiums.
For 2010 year to date vs. the same period last year, we’ve had approx. 19% more homes sold. Average selling price year to date has been $380,285 vs. $390,786 during the same period in 2009. During the early part of 2010, the Tax Credit seemed to drive an increase in buying activity although some of this can be explained as ‘pull ahead’ sales. The Township of Northville Real Estate market has remained relatively strong throughout the economic downturn. The ‘pull factors’ that have kept Northville Township pricing strong include the treed settings, larger and newer homes, proximity to downtown Northville and Plymouth as well as major roads and highways, acclaimed school system, and much, much more.
