Ann Arbor Area Real Estate Statistics – April 2008
The Ann Arbor real estate market is moving fast! Here it is Memorial Day weekend, and Team366 is just now getting around to posting the April 2008 Housing statistics.
An aside to anyone looking for a home in today’s market:
- Get pre-qualified before you start looking at homes. It’s terrible to get beaten out on your dream home by someone else that was better prepared.
- Since sellers have gotten much more realistic on price, be prepared to come close to their asking price. If that 2,500 square foot house is on the market at $240,000 or less, move fast and recognize the value in the price per square footage alone.
- Make sure you have an exclusive buyer’s agency agreement with an agent. That way, your interests are represented appropriately and without conflict.
To the Ann Arbor housing statistics!
