Detroit Real Estate

We stole this home today!!!

I helped my client get this Northville home closed this week. 

Over 1800 square foot downtown Northville home for $170,000.  That is less than $100 a square foot for a home near downtown Northville.  Some of these homes were selling over $200 a square foot a few years back.  It was a relocation home.  The closer said that the seller/ relocation company had to come to the table with $120,000.

The home sold for $287,500 in 2000.  Yes Metro Detroit real estate home values have fallen that much.  Though I did set a new low price per square foot for downtown Northville.  My client got a bargain.  We looked at quite a few listings on line, and probably actually visited 20 homes.  But the buyers found a home in good shape. 

The home was listed for $229,000.  We put in a low ball offer because the home had been on the market for a long time, it was empty, and it was a relocation.  We negotiated back and forth and got the home for $170,000.  What a deal for a Northville home!!!!

So you think it was a dive inside.  You are wrong.  Here are some pictures.   Here are some of the updates that the home had.

• New copper plumbing
• updated wiring and electrical panel
• updated kitchen
• beautiful hard wood floor
• new radon system
• new sewer to the street
• house has just been releved (about $16,000)

There are lots of bargains out there.  If you are searching through Northville homes for sale and need a good local Realtor give me a call on my cell.
