Ann Arbor Michigan Community Amenity: Crisler Arena, Ann Arbor, MI

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on November 14, 2011

Go Michigan! 🙂 The University of Michigan has some great sporting venues in Ann Arbor!

Situated right next door to U of M Football Stadium there is a great arena which is the home to Michigan Wolverines Basketball teams! Crisler Arena.

Crisler Arena was constructed back in the mid 1960’s with groundbreaking in 1965 and opening its doors to spectators in 1967 it was designed by Dan Dworsky. The arena has been renovated three times since opening: the first time in 1998; the second time in 2001; and the third just recently this year, 2011. After its most recent renovation its capacity is now around 12,700 people.

It is the home to the University of Michigan men’s and women’s basketball teams and was named after Herbert O. “Fritz” Crisler, head football coach at Michigan from 1938 to 1947. Fritz remained athletic director until his retirement in 1968. As for its tagline, the arena is often called “The House that Cazzie Built.” This is in reference to legendary player Cazzie Russell who starred on Michigan teams that won three consecutive Big Ten Conference titles from 1964 to 1966. It was Cazzie’s popularity which caused the fanbase to outgrow its old home, Yost Fieldhouse (now Yost Ice Arena).

Sports aside, the arena has also hosted numerous concerts over the years perhaps most famously, the opening show of Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s The River Tour.

First Time Home Buyers

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on November 13, 2011

November US 2011 Market Update

While home sales in September were down slightly from a relatively strong month in August, they were up from a year ago, giving encouraging signs of a strengthening market and potential for stabilizing, if not appreciating, home prices. These signs include an increasing demand, shown by the number of people shopping for homes, and the decreasing inventory of homes for sale, in conjunction with some of the lowest levels of new housing construction since the 1960s when the Beatles first came to the United States.

Of the 3.48 million homes sold in September, 32% were first-time home buyers. With more and more people entering the market, the persisting obstacle for most is still the restrictive lending environment. In a
plea to banks and policy makers, NAR President Ron Phipps said, “We need to remove the roadblocks to a housing recovery—not place more obstacles in the way of financially qualified buyers.”

With an increasing demand and shrinking inventory, it is hoped that banks will begin to see the market potential and start to lend to otherwise creditworthy home shoppers, opening the road to a more rapid recovery. While consumer confidence still remains at all-time lows, retail spending increased 1.1% last month, a positive sign of growth fueled by the approaching holiday season, which could propel the U.S. into a promising new year.

In Ann Arbor, we are experiencing shrinking inventory, 4 percent price appreciation through the third quarter. We will see what the year end brings, but I bet it will be a total price increase of at least one percent like we had last
year. We will post the Ann Arbor Real Estate Market Update this week.

Stay tuned for our First Time Home Buyer Round Tables in January, February and March to be help at Liberty Title in Ann Arbor on Packard Rd.

Mortgage Rates Are Down Making Ann Arbor Housing Affordable

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on November 12, 2011

See video explaining the national real estate market, interest rates, and First Time Home Buyer Tips. Watch for our First Time Home Buyer Round tables in January, February and March.

Mortgage rates were
down again, from 4.35% in September of last year to 4.11% this September.
While the Federal Reserve continues to put downward pressure on interest rates to spur sales, Congress’s recent action to lower loan limits has further tightened lending among banks. This had the biggest impact in the Western states, which experienced an 8.8% drop in sales. This was mainly due to the concentration of more expensive properties in California, where buyers rushed to purchase properties in August before loans limits dropped on the October 1 deadline.

Just recently we raved about how Dexter is the ultimate in small town living being a picturesque village nestled along the banks of the Huron River. With the city just boasting around 3,000 residents it is a great sized locality and benefits from being situated just a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of Ann Arbor proper.

But if you are looking for a distinctly rural neighborhood which allows for a rural setting, with homes in a commutable location while being neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle then Park Lake could be perfect for you! This is definitely a true country neighborhood which has an abundance of deer and small wildlife around thanks to its beautiful quiet setting with plenty of walking areas on private and country roads. There is no master deed nor restrictions. The homes are located by Parks Lake North of Chamberlain, North of North Territorial Road.

While homes here tend to be older single family homes that were constructed many years ago they often benefit from large well manicured lots and are decent sizes inside – perfect for a growing family! Homes generally back onto woodland and some even back onto Park Lake! It is definitely a neighborhood where community is important. If you are looking to move here, it can be rare that homes in this area come up for sale, so if you are looking for that perfect family home in and around this part of Dexter then get in touch today!
