Ann Arbor Condo Statistics for August 2017 and Second Quarter

When comparing Ann Arbor condo data year-to-date through August of 2016 to that of 2017, little has changed, except in one very important area. The number of new listings that came to the market was 552 in 2016 and 550 this year, basically the same, as with the number of sales, 455 vs. 447. However, the average sale price of Ann Arbor condos has skyrocketed from $203,743 YTD in 2016 to $252,547 this YTD, an increase of $24%!  The low supply is keeping demand high, which is raising the average sale price.

10 Autumn Upkeep Tips for Your Home and Yard

10 Autumn Upkeep Tips

10 Autumn Upkeep Tips Photo of Fall Leaves

Fall is here! As the temperatures become cooler, it’s a great time to start thinking about autumn maintenance in and around your home. The last thing you want is to be trying to finish home improvement projects outside as the snow starts to fly. Here are 10 autumn upkeep tips that you should consider doing now so that you’ll have more time to prepare for the holidays later.

  1. SEPTIC TANK – In addition to regular inspections, you should have your tank pumped out by a licensed contractor every 2 – 5 years depending on usage.
  2. INDOORS – Replace screens with storm windows if applicable. Reverse your ceiling fan to spin clockwise for fall and winter to pull cool air up and warm air down. Pull out your quilts and comforters to make your home more cozy.
  3. DÉCOR – Why wait until it’s cold and snowy to hang holiday lights? Get the job done now while it’s warm and sunny, and then just plug them in when the time is right. Be sure to test everything before hanging and pick up extra bulbs if needed.
  4. HVAC – Have you changed your furnace filter lately? Consider scheduling your annual furnace inspection now before they book up. Have venting cleaned and/or inspected.
  5. FIREPLACE – Have your chimney cleaned and inspected prior to using your fireplace for chilly fall evenings. Have firewood delivered or find a reliable source.
  6. INSULATION – Add attic and/or wall insulation to lower heating bills over the winter. Purchase insulating film and window air conditioner covers if you plan to use them. Weather-strip windows and doors and install storm windows and doors if applicable.
  7. ROOF – Inspect your roof for damage or dampness and make or schedule repairs if needed. Clean out and inspect gutters. Consider installing heating cables if you have sustained damage from ice dams in the past.
  8. WATER – Turn off outside faucets and ensure that all related pipes have been drained to avoid bursting. Direct downspouts far away from your foundation to avoid flooding during spring thaws.
  9. OUTSIDE – Put away patio furniture, grills, and yard implements. Cut back perennials and clean out annuals. Winterize your lawn mower and have your snow blower readied for use. Purchase a new shovel before the stores run out after the first snow. Have salt and/or sand ready for your sidewalk and driveway.
  10. FINANCES – While this could be done any time of year, “earn” a little extra money for holiday shopping by calling your alarm, cable, and insurance companies to ask if there are any new promotions or discounts that might apply to you, especially if you have been a long-time customer. Doing a little research beforehand, such as calling a competitor for a bid, could result in significant savings from what you’re currently paying.

If you think you might be ready for a new home to improve, call us today and we’ll match you with a seasoned exclusive buyers agent at The Bouma Group, Realtors to guide you through the process. They have local knowledge and market experience and can help you find your new home for the holidays. Call 734-761-3060 or email info@bouma.com today!
