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.
Newly listed properties are often selling quickly near or at listing price while some properties are even receiving multiple offers – sometimes over list price. 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 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. As a result, prices are improving and there’s more new construction/renovation activity. Here’s how Plymouth and Northville active real estate listings in May compare to the same time last year.

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.
