There is a positive Upward Trend in the Manchester Real Estate Market. When reviewing the 24-month chart below, for the Manchester area, we need to pay close attention to the red line on the chart. The red line indicates an upward trend in the Linear (Average Square Foot / Sale Price). The average square foot price is now hovering around $90.00 per square foot for the month of November, 2011, as compared to November 2010 at approximately $77.00 per square foot. This year, compared to last year shows an approximate 27.76 percent increase in the average linear sales price per square foot in Manchester, Michigan. This is very good news for Sellers and REALTORs alike. Home sales are remaining constant at 56 homes sold each year for 2 years in a row. At least the market is running flat and appears to be stabilized over the same 2-year time frame. No one’s complaining about this kind of good news as the year 2011 soon comes to a close.

Buyers as well as Sellers should pay close attention to these indicators. While trends are showing signs of a recovery, it’s a great time to take the next step to home ownership or listing your home for sale. Call to schedule an appointment.

How to Obtain a Pre-Approval and Plan your New Home Purchase

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on December 12, 2011

You should talk with a lender(s) (ideally in the market that you intend to purchase*) before starting the search for your new home. A good lender will help guide you through the ever- changing mortgage application/approval process, let you know how much you can afford, check your credit (and help increase credit scores if needed). Obtaining a pre-approval upfront will set you on a positive course in the home-buying process and give you and your realtor confidence that financing will be available once you’ve found your dream home!

Tip:*Talking directly with a local lender who lives and works in the community has advantages over trying to obtain financing via phone/internet. A lender whom you have the ability to meet with face-to-face and who’ll attend the closing is more likely to be accountable throughout the process (and give you the best deal). It’s always a good idea to talk to 2-3 lenders

Choosing your Lender (what to look for):

Good communication upfront. Communication will be critical throughout the approval process, if the lender is difficult to reach or doesn’t call back…not a good sign
Questions? A good lender will ask you many questions from the start. Loan approvals and the financing for which you’ll qualify have an increasing number of variables, it’s impossible to give a borrower good information without asking the questions.
Details. Ask the lender to provide a detailed estimate of closing costs, interest rate, monthly payment, and cash-to-close.
Competitive Financing. You should know if you’re qualifying for the best possible rate/terms or if there’s something you could do to get a better deal
What’s the Plan? You should have a clear game plan for the approval process and know what to expect. There are many “do’s” and “don’ts” during the process you should know about.

We know about homes before they hit the market, just call or email what you need.

Positively Yours,
