The sky is not falling!
Peckin'
The saddest thing I ever did see
Was a woodpecker peckin' at a plastic tree.
He looks at me, and "Friend," says he,
"Things ain't as sweet as they used to be."
Shel Silverstein
A Light in the Attic
I was interviewed by Tv6 last week regarding lake front homes; try as I might I could not find a real positive note other than it is a "great time to buy”! We have sold ½ as many lake front homes this year compared to each of the three previous years. That statistic drove home the fact that our market is not the same as it used to be.
BUT
Dr. Ferrarini also commented on the fact that when people are faced with harder times they tend to not give as much to charity. But I think Marquette County can buck national trends there as well. So please join me Sunday evening at the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum for our first annual Home Party Palooza.
Home Party Palooza!
Please join us Sunday between 6 and 8pm to shop at all your favorite home party vendors in one place on one night.
Pampered Chef, Silpada, Home America, Premiere Jewelry, Mary Kay, Discovery Toys, Creative Memories, Party Lite, Tastefully Simple, Northern Art Glass and MORE!!!
The vendors and more will all be gathered at the children’s museum for your shopping convenience.
All of the participating vendors are making donations the
UP Children's Museum based on the nights sales and orders.
Bring friends.
Raffle prizes, snacks and fun!

8 Web Sites You Need to Know

Franklin P. Jones quotes (AmericanBusinessman, 1887-1929)
|
I grew up in a family that was told to look it up when we didn’t know the answer to something. In my house a question is invariably met with the answer “Google It.” But I do have several go-to web sites for answers to many questions and I am pleased to share my top 8 links today.
1) For information on any property in the City of Marquette I use the website Marquette City for property information you click on Resident services and then property information look up. From there you can find out who is in a neighborhood you may be looking at, how long a home has been owned by the homeowner or what someone paid for a home.
2) To find out what your potential property taxes may be I use Michigan.gov which has a great property tax calculator.
5) Marquette County is a detailed website for Marquette County maps trails and information.
6) Michigan Gazetteer has profiles of 3,059 Michigan cities, towns & neighborhoods. Cultural features, nature information, maps and much more.
7) For any information you need about Marquette Area Public Schools check out MAPS Website.
8) And your number one go-to web site should be StephanieSells.com for all things Real Estate and Marquette information!!!! |
