Being the Best for my Clients...

Home Buyers and Sellers have their money on the line and I don't take that lightly. I make sure my clients have all the pertinent facts; that they understand the legalese contained in their contracts and disclosures and that they know their options. I won't sugar-coat the truth and always point out both the positive and negative in a potential decision. No one likes surprises in a real estate transaction; so I ensure that my clients know what to expect each step of the way from initial consult to closing.

I personally assist my clients from start to finish, and never hand them off to an assistant. I will be with you every step of the way.

Steve's Real Estate Market Update

Market Update: August’s market update for Macomb County and Oakland County’s housing market (House and Condo Sales) is as follows. In Macomb County Average Sales price was up by almost 6% and Oakland County Average Sales price was down by 1%. Macomb County’s on market inventory was up by more than 5% and Oakland County’s on market inventory was up by almost 12%. Macomb County average days on market was 28 days and Oakland County average days on market was 25 days. Closed sales in Macomb County were down by more than 3% and closed sales in Oakland County were down by almost 4%. (All comparisons are month to month, year to year.)

By the long-standing historical definition from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) which has been in existence since 1908; a buyer’s market is when there is a 7-month supply or more of inventory on the market. A balanced market between buyers and sellers is when there is a 6-month supply of inventory. A seller’s market is when there is a 5-month or less supply of inventory. In August the State of Michigan inventory was at 3.1 months of supply. Macomb County's inventory was at 2.8 months of supply and Oakland County's inventory was at 2.9 months of supply. By definition it’s still a Seller’s market. However, inventory has been increasing this year which is good news for Buyers.

Answers To Real Estate Questions

Question: If we sell our house to one of our children will the property taxes be uncapped and go up?

Answer: No, the taxable value here in Michigan will not be uncapped as long as it is a residential property and its type of use is not changed after you sell it to one of your children. I always recommend consulting with an attorney and tax advisor regarding legal and tax questions.
