New Year-New Market

I'm sure you've heard the news about the improving real estate market.  Much of it is true, but I suggest you temper some of the enthusiasm with the locale of the real estate you own or wish to own.  Real estate is a local product.  It can vary by as much as a region, county, side of the lake, or a neighborhood.  If you're reading this you're probably interested in the Northwest Michigan market.  I know that prices are still stable, not dropping nor going up--yet.  Inventory is shrinking in certain price points so unless we start to get more sellers suddenly jumping in, we will start to see increases.

When People Want to be Here

I went home for lunch today (because that's what you can do when you live in a small town).  It's 3.3 miles door to door if anyone is counting...but I digress.

Anyway, while I was home my wife, Suzann, told me that our friends of many years (especially her because she's known MB since like grade school or something and now they're old) said that they'd like to spend more time in northern Michigan.  I'd like to think it's just us, but I really think it's about just how darn nice it is here.  They live in Cleveland and find it worth their while to bring the whole fam damily by car when they can.

They'll be up here again after the first of the year, maybe sooner, and we'll have a crazy good time like we always do.  Skiing, swimming, eating at our great places here, like Red Mesa Grill or Pierson's.  But most importantly, we'll be creating the memories of a lifetime that I'm learning is not that long after all.

So eat, drink, and be merry and enjoy! And to all my friends, past, present and future, I look forward to next time we meet!

First Real Snow Today

11-23-2010

1-2 inches of snow expected today

I think we may be skiing sooner than later.  Put the snow fence up yesterday, along with stacking a cord of wood on the porch, even changed the oil in the tractor.  Had to put the snowblower on this morning but all in all a very productive couple of days.  Good ole country livin...up north of course!

Looks just gloomy, but out of town the snow is sticking on the ground.  You can see the snow that's piled up on the Caddy.  The traffic light you see is what we call "the light"...."the other" light is located one block to the west.  That's one way we roll in Boyne City!

Peace,

Brett
