 Summary

2006

 

Media reports continue to forecast doom and gloom in the real estate arena throughout the country.   But, in the Harbor Springs area, the market is holding steady, or even improving a bit.  Volumes sold in 2006, in both units and dollars, were either equal to or better than 2005, with the exception of vacant land outside of Birchwood.  In all of the Harbor Springs area, for single family homes, total dollars sold was up 10% while the number of units sold was up 4%.  Within Birchwood, both lot and home sales were up.
 

Sales which are not reported in the MLS include for sale by owners and transfers within families.  All sales involving licensed realtors “should” be included in the MLS numbers.
