Some homes are really about what you can do with the space, and 128 N. Magnolia Avenue is one of them.

Imagine having your own barn for woodworking, crafting, restoring furniture, working on projects, or finally having a dedicated space for whatever you love to create. Out back, there are garden beds and even space for chickens if that’s your thing.

Then tucked along the side of the home is a peaceful little spot surrounded by greenery, with a small garden pond and waterfall a place to sit outside, listen to the water, and enjoy a fall afternoon.

And you’re still right in Lansing’s Eastside, where you can head out for a walk and grab a fresh cup of coffee at Strange Matter.

If you’ve been looking for a home that gives you room to create, grow, tinker, garden—or simply make the space your own—take a look at 128 N. Magnolia Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912, now offered at $189,000.

Greater Lansing’s housing market is giving buyers something they haven’t had much of in recent years: options and negotiating power.
Looking at just the last 24 hours in the Greater Lansing Association of REALTORS® MLS, we saw 36 new listings, 32 price changes, 20 homes go pending, and 30 sales close.
Those numbers tell an important story. Homes are still selling, but the pace of the market has shifted. More inventory and more price adjustments are creating opportunities for buyers to negotiate — and I’m seeing that firsthand in my own transactions.
In almost every deal I’m working on right now, there has been an opportunity to negotiate on price, seller-paid closing costs, or other concessions. We’re also seeing financing options worth exploring, including zero-down programs for qualified buyers, 2-1 interest-rate buydowns, and adjustable-rate mortgages.
Interest rates are understandably still a concern. But I encourage buyers to look at the entire transaction rather than the rate alone. The price you pay for a home is established when you purchase it; your financing may have the ability to change later. If rates decrease in the future, refinancing may be an option. On the other hand, waiting for lower rates could mean entering a market with more competition, fewer concessions, and potentially higher prices.
There’s also a meaningful shift for homeowners who need to sell before purchasing their next home. In today’s Lansing-area market, we’re seeing sellers more willing to consider contingent offers — including, in some circumstances, offers from buyers whose current homes aren’t listed yet.

This isn’t about saying everyone should buy right now. It’s about understanding how the market has changed and recognizing that some of the barriers buyers faced over the last several years have changed with it. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, it may be worth taking another look at what’s possible today.

Some houses are hard to sum up in an MLS description—and this is definitely one of them.

From the secret-garden feel out front to the basketball court, garden beds, pond with a waterfall, extra outbuilding, original hardwood floors, and all the personality tucked throughout, this Lansing Eastside home has so much that makes it different.

I put together a closer look at the property, the neighborhood, and all the details that make this one worth seeing. Take a look 👇

If you’re looking for a home with personality, flexible living space, and plenty of unexpected features, 128 N Magnolia Avenue deserves a closer look. Tucked behind mature greenery in Lansing’s Eastside neighborhood, this four-bedroom, two-full-bathroom home feels like a private retreat while ke...

What a surprise to walk into the office and find this waiting on my desk! I knew I was working toward the RE/MAX Hall of Fame, but I had no idea I had already reached it!

I’ve been with RE/MAX since the very beginning of my real estate career, so reaching this milestone means a lot to me. But what it represents means even more. Every transaction behind this award is a person, a home, a story, and someone who trusted me to help them through a really important moment in their life.

I absolutely could not have reached this without my amazing past and present clients, the people who continue to refer me, and this incredible community that supports my business. Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and allowing me to do a job I genuinely love. I’m incredibly grateful.

New construction homes need inspections too!

This week I attended both a new build inspection and a resale home inspection, and the difference is significant. In an existing home, we're focused on major systems, safety concerns, and costly repairs. With a new build, we're looking closely at every detail—from paint touch-ups and trim work to windows, doors, and finishes.

City inspections are important, but they aren't the same as having your own independent inspector. A trusted third-party inspection can help identify issues before closing and ensure you're getting the quality you expect from a brand-new home.

Building a home is exciting, and having the right professionals by your side can make all the difference.

This week, I had the chance to walk through a new construction home with a client, and it was such a good reminder that inspecting a new build is a completely different experience than inspecting a pre-existing home. With a resale home, we are usually looking at the bigger picture.
