Northville Real Estate Values Continue to Increase in the first 4 months of 2014

Through the first 4 months of 2014, Northville real estate prices continue to surge upward.  Median sales prices for residential homes are now near or at pre-recession levels across the area – both the City and Township. The supply of resale homes also continues to show improvement in the Township while the City still suffers a shortage of available homes.  The data below clearly illustrates that values have continued to increase while the Township has shown a sharp increase in median sales price.  This is mainly due to more high value homes transacting vs. previous years. With prices increasing so high and so quickly, it’s difficult to predict how much higher the market can go.  So it’s more important then ever to ensure the home you buy truly meets your current and future needs in terms of location, functionality, and resale potential.

If you are considering buying or selling in the area and would like an informed, professional opinion from people who know the local market and how to buy and sell a home, click here to contact us.

Plymouth Real Estate Values Continue to Increase in the first 4 months of 2014

Through the first 4 months of 2014, Plymouth real estate prices continue to surge upward.  Median sales prices for residential homes are now at pre-recession levels across the area – both the City and Township. The supply of resale homes also continues to show improvement as more sellers take advantage of near record level values. The data below clearly illustrates that values have continued to increase although not quite as sharply when compared to last year.  With prices increasing so high and so quickly, it’s difficult to predict how much higher the market can go.  So it’s more important then ever to ensure the home you buy truly meets your current and future needs in terms of location, functionality, and resale potential. I’ll have a similar view of the Northville market in an upcoming post.

City of Northville Home Values Sharply Higher in 2013

Screen Shot 2013-09-09 at 4.11.29 PM

206 W Dunlap Northville

This year in the City of Northville, we’ve seen a sharp increase in not just home prices, but also the number of homes selling above $500,000.  Prices haven’t surpassed the pre-recession peak yet but the trend is positive.  With the local economy growing and homeowners now more secure in their jobs and with their businesses, there are fewer sellers and more buyers. Buyers who were holding off on purchasing due to uncertainty about jobs and the economy have returned to the market.  While Sellers have recovered some or all of their equity and are in a better position to sell.
