Northern Michigan Market Conditions

Northern Michigan Market Conditions

 

Northern Michigan Housing Markets are a little slow with 58 sales, pending transactions also declined slightly. Historically it is mid February before we start to see the market pick up and this may be one of those years. The weather has not been friendly to real estate activity. Inventory supplies continue to contract offering a great opportunity for sellers to beat the spring rush by offering their property for sale now while competition is light.

 

Rates - are still good and generally still in the 4's HOWEVER rates are projected to push upwards this year as the economy strengthens!  Dont wait to buy rates will increase!

 

Have a great week and stay warm.....
