Wilson Barn, Livonia MILivonia Events
Wilson barn is located on Middlebelt just south of Plymouth Rd. It is an important part of Livonia Mi History. Wilson Barn was built in 1888 to house the Ira Wilson Dairy. It was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and rebuilt about a year later. It is a typical Michigan barn with clapboard siding, approximately 30-feet by 80-feet. There are three separate levels with a sloping entrance. The stalls on the ground level were remodeled in 1945 so that Percheron horses could be stabled here. The barn has an attached silo that is 15 foot in diameter and 45 foot in height. It was the largest silo ever to be constructed in Livonia MI.
The barn is preserved by the friends of Wilson Barn. The site holds flower shows, car shows throughout the summer. Livonia's farmer's market is held every Saturday from May to Mid October. Wilson Barn Livonia MI is listed as an historic site at both state and national levels. Ira Wilson married Mary Smith of nearby Plymouth Township in the year 1888. Twenty years later he would build for her the family farm mansion. Sadly Livonia let this house be condemned and destroyed in 1970. http://www.detroitmichiganrealestatehomes.com/004412 Posted on Sep 29, 2008 @ 1:11 pm by russ.ravary - View Profile

Throughout the year there are different holiday programs.
Livonia ForeclosuresMetro Detroit homes and real estate Everybody wants a Michigan home bargain and everybody had heard about a friend that has gotten the greatest deal. I hear these stories daily and sometimes I check them out. That is what is great about the MLS and public records. I can go and find out what the house really sold for. What I am finding is that many people are not using the list price as the basis for their great deal. They are using what the house was worth or sold for at the height of the market. Many great deals are just average deals for the metro Detroit real estate market. I see them daily. I have seen many homes and I am constantly looking at public records for my clients. 8 of the homes I have seen lately had mortgages of over $200,000 at one time and they were listed in below $150,000. Some of them are not even worth $120,000. Whether it is Livonia Real estate, Northville real estate, or any Metro Detroit home it should look like a bargain from what the high price. So don't get excited about that. Get excited if you are getting the home for less than what the current market is now!!! Get excited if you are getting the Livonia home or any home for less than a $100 a square foot. Get excited if the home you are buying is being sold for a lot less than other listed homes in the subdivision. Many people are disappointed when their ridicoulously low offer gets rejected. "Because their friend got a home at 50% off" I would bet 99% of these stories are false. They did not get 50% off the list price. It just is not happening in the Livonia real estate market or the Metro Detroit real estate market. So if you are buying a home compare it to the market prices now and not the prices years ago. There are many Metro Detroit home deals out there. Call me at (313) 310-9855 or email me at info@russRavary.com for your foreclosure list. Be sure to tell me what city you want the the price range you want to be in. http://www.detroitmichiganrealestatehomes.com/004302 Posted on Sep 08, 2008 @ 6:49 pm by russ.ravary - View Profile

Russ Helped sell our house quick!Metro Detroit Real Estate testimonialLivonia MiA year ago my husband and I started looking for a Metro Detroit home with the help of Russ Ravary. We thought this search would take a long time. With the technology we had available we were successful after 3 months. It took us over a year to find the house the last house we bought. We know what we wanted exactly. Russ used the Internet and e-mail to keep us up to date on the houses that had just gone on the market, the length of time they were on the market, and all the public record data. I never thought I would have a house on a lake with all these features
My biggest obstacle was putting our house up for sale. When we put the bid on the new house and it was accepted, Russ said it was time to put the old "For Sale" sign up. I wasn't ready! First we hadn't told any of our neighbors, second we weren't quite done putting the finishing touches on the house and third we were going on vacation and I didn't want people in the house while we were gone. It took over a week for me to be convinced that this was the right thing to do. After several talks at our kitchen table I said yes. Russ knew the faster we got the house up for sale in the spring the better our chances were to sell it. The sign went up the day after we left for vacation. I was worried on Sunday because that was the first (and only) Open House. On Saturday we were on our way to the airport to come home, Russ called us with the news...there was a bid on the house! I couldn't believe it the house was sold in a week!!!! Homes in our market were taking over six months to sell. People always ask what we did to sell the house so quickly. My answer is to trust your Sales Agent. He/she is in this business and deals with it everyday so you need to trust his/her expertise. Some of the advice we got was to get rid of the clutter, make it less personal and the big one remove the flowered wallpaper. Russ was forthright in giving advice on how to make the home more saleable. Sometimes I did not like what Russ had to say about the house, but we did what he said. And it worked. We sold it in 7 days for 97% of the selling price. It was a combination of luck and doing the rights things to get the home ready for sale. Russ came through 3 times telling us what to do. Luckily, I (we) listened to what Russ say. I'm so grateful for everything he did for us, we are now enjoying our new home...sorry Russ for making you a little crazy! If you are looking for a home in the Metro Detroit area I would recommend Russ to anyone that wants to sell their home in this tough real estate market. It may be tough to swallow but Russ will tell you the truth about the Metro Detroit Real Estate Market and what you have to do to sell your home http://www.detroitmichiganrealestatehomes.com/003DD4 Posted on Jul 07, 2008 @ 10:43 pm by russ.ravary - View Profile
