A New Year, and a Busy Market
The market stays busy as buyers discover they can work remotely from Northern Michigan. Properties for sale are in short supply; we hope for more listings in the spring.

Market updates and notes from Jim.

As buyers discover they can work remotely, Northern Michigan is in demand. The market is in short supply and listings go fast, so do your research and contact us quickly.

Real estate was allowed to reopen May 7. Listings are popping up and the nice, reasonably priced properties go fast. If you are serious about buying, now is the time to start researching.

As the leaves drop, so do real estate prices. Sellers are more motivated than ever to close before winter sets in, so if you are serious about buying, now is the time.

Summer brings new listings of homes, cottages, and cabins in the woods. The good ones go fast, so now is the time to start searching.

If you are thinking of making an offer on an up north property, now is the time. Let us write that offer for you and close the deal on your Northern Michigan dream cottage.

Spring brings many new listings, and the good values go fast. Last year we helped many families find their Northern Michigan cottage with over $2.5 million in sales.

Prices on unsold properties are coming down. New this year, our Elk Rapids office lists vacant land and residential properties valued above $300,000, with a lawyer's advice at a Realtor's price.

Best wishes to all for a wonderful holiday season and a new year filled with peace, happiness, and a new cottage in Northern Michigan.

Make your winter productive. Book an appointment with a REL representative to review the latest Northern Michigan MLS listings, and we will come to you.
