This weekend in Plymouth: 2014 Fall Festival, Pancake Breakfast, Spaghetti Dinner, Chicken Barbeque- Sept 5-7, 2014!

20120908_103518It’s that time of year again!  The kids are back in school and the smell of barbeque smoke drifts through downtown Plymouth as the annual Fall Festival is here.  September 5-7, 2014 will be non-stop pancakes, spaghetti, and barbeque chicken along with carnival rides for all ages, midway games, concerts, car show, and attractions for everyone.

Downtown streets are closed off and for one weekend, downtown Plymouth is transformed into a local fair with all the pre-requisites.  I have to admit, this is one of my personal favorites of all the festivals that happen in Plymouth – good fun for the whole family and another great reason the area continues to thrive.  For more information, go to: http://www.plymouthfallfestival.com/

City of Plymouth Real Estate Values Continue to Surge

plymouthcity

The City of Plymouth real estate market continues to see strong demand, limited supply, and consequently – steadily rising prices. Average sales prices are up again this year and have surpassed pre-recession highs with the market recovering just as quickly as it collapsed.  Desirable homes with good locations often sell in days with multiple offers and oftentimes, over asking price. If you live in the City, I’m sure you’ve heard your friends and neighbors talk about the this or that house which sold instantly with multiple offers.  Another interesting change in the market is the increase in the number of cash offers we are seeing.  These might be well-heeled buyers downsizing from a larger home in the Township, or a buyer obtaining seller financing from a cash purchaser. If you are trying to buy in Plymouth, it’s not easy to say the least but the good news is that more homes continue to come on the market as sellers see what they can sell for.
