Possibly the Perfect Property for the Outdoorsman

We often get requests from buyers seeking acreage to hunt as well as having good trout water to fish.  Large enough parcels sometimes hit the market but are often out of financial reach for most buyers.  We have a property listed on The Manistee River right now, however, that is the perfect solution.  It's 11 acres with 200' on the flies only section of the river but it's completely surrounded by state land on all sides!  Grab the dog and your shotgun and work the river for more than two miles downstream before hitting the next private parcel!  This section of river is open to year round fishing as well and right now is prime time for catching huge Brown Trout on streamers!  Maybe even better, it's in the snow belt between Kalkaska and Grayling and provides ideal access to The Blue Bear Snowmobile Trails.  Ride your sleds to Traverse City or Mackinaw from here on mostly groomed trails.  The modest cabin can serve as camp if that's the intention or remove it and build a spectacular lodge with ultimate privacy.  The seller paid well over $200,000 for the property a few years ago and is now selling at a loss but wants it gone by winter.  Just reduced again to $149,900, it's possibly the last opportunity to get a perfect property for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and more in this price range.  Contact me at your opportunity to set up a private showing.  Click the photo above to view more details.  Bring the rod and waders and I'll show you a few bends that will certainly give up some nice trout...  chad@homewaters.net

Gladwin County Real Estate Market Conditions

Sonya Loose

Real Estate Market Conditions for September 2012

Gladwin County is located in rural Northern Michigan and is conveniently located within 3 hours of Detroit and 2-2.5 hours of Flint and Lansing making it easy to come "Up North" for the weekend. But, we encourage you to stay longer. After visiting Gladwin you will want to spend much more time here! Gladwin, Michigan is an area popular for its scenic lakes (including Wixom Lake and Secord Lake), plentiful state land, quaint parks, Amish communities and down town shopping. Gladwin is primarily a second home/resort community due to the amount of waterfront homes. Gladwin, Michigan has real estate to accommodate every buyer from very affordable cabins to luxurious homes. As a life-long resident of Gladwin County I know the area well and the real estate market even better!

The real estate market conditions in Gladwin, Michigan along with most areas of Michigan, remain somewhat challenging, but appear to be stable! There is a slightly improving economy and less days on market. If you are interested in buying your first home or your vacation home, it is a fabulous time to buy! Interest rates are very low for qualified buyers, and there is a lot of inventory to choose from. Homes are more affordable then they have been in years! Buyers: As fall creeps up sellers may be willing to negotiate lower sales prices.  The inventory for summer is at its peak, let me help you find your special place to escape to or to call home. Sellers: September and October are historically the best month each years for sales. Your home needs exposure to the market so list today if you are serious about selling.

Here are the latest real estate market conditions for Gladwin, Michigan and the surrounding areas of Beaverton, Harrison, Clare, Rhodes, Bentley, Wixom Lake and Secord Lake. In September I had 5 closings and currently I have 6 pending.....sales continue to be strong!!
The Clare/Gladwin Board of Realtors currently has 1015 homes for sale through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and 83 of those were new to the market in September. The number of new listings is 18 less than last month. The average asking price of the homes currently on the market is $111,429 and the average days on market for those homes has been 273 days. These stats are only slightly different than the last 2.5 years clarifying my theory that the Gladwin, Michigan real estate market conditions are stable! Residential asking prices range from $8,000 - 950,000.

During the month of September we saw 66 homes sell/close in Gladwin, Michigan. This is 15 less than in August. The average asking price was $99,544. The average sales price was $90,173 and the average days on market for these homes was 251 days. The average days on market is 10 days more than last month. The sellers received an average of 90.5% of their asking price.

In Gladwin 73 homes expired from the market unsold in September. The main reason homes don't sell during their listing period is that they were priced incorrectly for the real estate market conditions and or condition of the home. In any market it is imperative that a listing be priced as competitively as possible for its condition in order to have the best chance of selling. To learn more about why homes expire from the market visit this link to a page on my website. If you're thinking about selling your Gladwin area home one very important fact to know about your real estate market conditions is the absorption rate. The absorption rate will tell you how long it will take for the current inventory of homes in Gladwin, Michigan to be absorbed by the market if no other homes come on the market. The absorption rate for September is 1.3 years! If you want your Gladwin, Michigan area home sold you need to know this number to help you price your home accordingly.
