Despite what you hear from the media, Lansing Michigan area and the greater Lansing area in general is becoming healthier each day in the real estate market. Check out housing Predictor to see how the Lansing area is only 3.9% down from last year and noted as the best place in the nation to invest in real estate at this time.

We certainly are more fortunate than Detroit and Grand Rapids. Note also, that our prices are leveling out and that window of opportunity for those first time buyers and those wishing to move up is excellent at this time.

The Holt market has been thriving for many years due to the continued popularity of the Holt school system. That's why we say "Holt, a great place to live" Our three children attended Holt schools and we found it to be top rated when it came to academics and sports.

We Realtors in Lansing are very fortunate to have many great school systems to offer families moving into the area. Notice also in the above housing predictor, how Lansing is on the move with the downtown area.

The INNW, (If Not Now When) program sponsored and supported by the greater Lansing Association of Realtors is still alive and kicking, and shows that there has never been a better time to buy real estate then today. Interest rates remain at all time lows, mortgage money is available, there is a wonderful selection of homes to pick from and you can get up to date information and tools at my site 24 hours a day. Yes, we have plenty to be thankful for regardless of the market adjustment we have experienced. May your holiday's be blessed with positive news and events. "Expect the Best" Mike
