The economic conditions have many of us worried. If you want to check out you own bank go to the FDIC web-site and put you bank in and you will see.
I did it for my Ann Arbor Bank with 5 branches one in Saline and found it to be fine.
Just thought you would want to know.
Saline Area Schools
is doing a need assessment for each of our schools and wants the parents input.
As parents and members of Saline Area Schools District, it is important we take the opportunity to provide our input. There are two different pilots to choose from, one if you have a child attending a school and one if you are like me and the children have graduated, but still like to participate in the schools and are a resident.
The survey they have selected has been developed by the National Education Association (NEA) and schools/districts all over the country are currently using this tool to assist them in creating comprehensive school improvement plans for their schools to improve teaching and learning for all children.
The KEYS 2.0 Survey tool is a comprehensive survey that collects data from teachers, support staff, parents and members of the community at large.
If you have a child in more than one building in the Saline Area School District they are asking you complete the survey for each building.
How do you take the survey? Go to www.keysonline.org and click on “take the survey”. Once there, enter 48176, our zip code and select the school building your child is in. The building survey is ready to participate in if you see another “take the survey” link.
Following are time lines for launch of the survey for each building:
Saline High School – September 17, 2008
Saline Middle School – October 1, 2008
Heritage School – September 17, 2008
Harvest Elementary – October 8, 2008
Houghton Elementary – October 22, 2008
Pleasant Ridge Elementary – September 24, 2008
Woodland Meadows Elementary – September 18, 2008
The survey will be open for each building for 20 days from the above scheduled launch date.

Yesterday, my daughter and I went and video taped a home for an out of town buyer. We blogged on it on my other blog, BlogAnnArbor. If you want care to see it.
Ask yourself, is my Realtor doing that for me ?
Are you stuck looking at the 8-10 photos on a web site?
*** We would love to be able to serve your realty needs in Ann Arbor and the surrounding areas of Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Milan, Ypsilanti.***
Well, the Spring market is FINALLY here in the Ann Arbor Area market. It has been a while since we have had this flurry of activity in Ann Arbor, Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Ypsilanti.
This past week, from April 18 to April 25th, we have had 71 homes go under contract in one week. Prices of homes under contract range in price from 49,000 to 499,000.
The condo market is a bit slower with only 10 condos going under contract. Those condo’s have been priced from 69,000 to 373,000.
If you are a seller, and not seeing activity on your home it is time to make a price adjustment, spruce up the yard, get new photos of the outside.
There is nothing more frustrating to potential buyers than to see, photos of your home in the snow.
First impressions matter, many times when I am out showing homes to a buyer if they don’t like the look of the outside, they say, ” no, let’s skip this one”. I hate that because I know the seller has spent time getting ready for a showing. But, when the buyers are on a mission to find a house, they don’t want to waste time going in one that doesn’t have look good from the outside.
My buyer agents have been writing competing offers these past two weeks. The homes selling the best are priced “below” market value. If you are a buyer, we know you are looking for a “bargain” and there are many homes listed and priced to sell. Don’t miss out. At the rate homes were moving this week the Spring Market is here.
You can begin your home search here at Search Ann Arbor Houses. All the homes in the MLS are available not only for Ann Arbor but the entire area of Washtenaw County.

Paul Bunton is the Chief of Police in Saline, Mi. He became Chief of Police when he arrived in Saline from the Ann Arbor Police Department. I have known Paul and been involved with him through the Saline Chamber of Commerce and Saline Schools.
Last Saturday, during the Michigan Spring football game held at Saline High School, I shot, (no pun intended) a video of him speaking about the safety of Saline, Mi.
