Here’s a list of the sales in Genoa Township for the first week of March 2012 (March 1-March 8).
$485,000 – 5861 Hartford Way, Pine Creek Ridge
This was a new build that sold quickly. It’s listed as 1 day on the market and was listed at $399,900. My guess it went under contract earlier in the construction process and the buyers wanted some upgrades that increased its value. It’s great to see more new construction popping up in the area again. Brighton schools.
$236,000 – 5440 Sharp, East Crooked Lakefront
This was my listing and it sold in 15 days for $16,000 OVER list price. Pretty deplorable condition and it took a lot of groveling to get the bank to list it in ‘as in’ condition, but it received multiple offers because there’s just not any Crooked Lakefront property out there. Both were cash, as-is offers. It got 18 showings in the first 10 days! Normally, I’m pleased to have banks do rehab work on foreclosures to make them more marketable, but they would have lost money on this one and it was very likely a new owner would do massive remodeling anyway. It really needed an owner that would be able to see beyond its current condition to see its potential. Howell schools.
$146,000 – 6369 Sundance Trail, Prairie View Hills
This was another foreclosure, first listed at $166,900. Owned by Fannie Mae (FNMA), it sold in 48 days, but at a $20,000+ discount from list price. Its last sale showing in the MLS was in 2004 for $278,900. That’s quite a discount, even for a 1974-built home. Brighton schools.
If you want to buy a Genoa Township home, give me a call. I’d love to help you.
