The best choice for real estate in Downtown Traverse City?

In 2015 we launched Homewaters Downtwon Properties to better service our clients in downtown Traverse City.  Since that time we've sold 15 downtown properties.  This is pretty remarkable considering how competetive the downtown market is.  As with the other markets we service, we took a simple approach.  Provide the most complete and accurate information to buyers and sellers and build specific property searches to help users quickly find the property that best suits their needs.  Whether it's Slabtown, Boardman, Old Town or SoFo, we can help!

Our Homewaters Downtwon Properties Search provides a simple map based search for each downtown neighborhood.  When the results appear we've also added specific descriptions of each neighborhood, including market statistics and geographic features.  Each property also includes comparable sales from the previous 2 years within that same neighborhood.  It's unlike any other search available and it's allowed us to quickly find success for our clients in a very competetive market.

If you've been considering the sale of your downtown property, contact us at your first convenience to learn more about how we can help ensure you take advantage of the strong market and get the best possible price and terms for your property.

If you're a buyer seeking downtown homes, head over to our site at www.homewaters.net and check out our one of a kind search functionality.  You can also automate any search to get real time results as soon as properties hit the site.  By marking properties as a "favorite" you'll also receive price change or status updates on that property.

We look forward to help you reach your downtown real estate goals in 2017!
