Average List price is down 9.5% from February 2007 to February 2008.

Average Sales price is down 6% from February 2007 to February 2008.

Results: For sellers you must be very competitive. Short sales and foreclosures are selling, so are homes priced “below market value” and in excellent condition.

For Buyers: No one knows when the market will bottom out. NOT ME ! No one, so don’t wait too long to take advantage of the best priced homes in Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County.
