Pending in Troy — and I could not be more excited for these two. 🤝

Congratulations to my buyers on 1174 Player Drive. I love my clients, and this one was a fun one to fight for.

The house: a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick colonial in Troy schools, 2,776 square feet, and fully turnkey. New roof, gutters and skylights (2021), new furnace (2021), renovated bath (2025), fresh paint and carpet this summer, granite and stainless in the kitchen, a first-floor bedroom, and that sunroom with skylights that sold the whole house.

The deal: we did everything we could to work the price in their favor — came in under the original asking price and landed at $191 per square foot in a neighborhood that sells for $225+ per square foot. For a fully turnkey colonial in Troy, that is an outstanding number.

Closing end of September. Proud of these two for being patient and ready, and for moving the minute the right one showed up.

If you're thinking about a move this fall and want an honest read on what it takes to win right now, DM me or call 734-642-6656.

$1,795 a month — for a one-bedroom — in Southgate. Let's talk about that.

The old bank tower on Trenton Rd (14 stories, empty for about a decade) is now 216 apartments after a ~$50 million redevelopment. Every floor plan is named after bank words — not kidding. Studios: 'The Check' 334 sq ft from $1,195, 'The Cash' 424 sq ft from $1,395. One-bedrooms: 'The Trust' 640 sq ft from $1,795 up to 'The Investment' 968 sq ft from $2,595. Two-bedrooms: 'The Balance' 901 sq ft from $2,495 up to 'The Reserve' 1,499 sq ft from $3,795. Call it $2.50–3.60 a square foot — per month.

I'm not knocking the building. I'm knocking the math. That's downtown-Detroit money for a Downriver address with not a lot around it.

Here's the comparison: $1,795 a month is roughly the principal-and-interest on a $300,000 house in Wyandotte — about $2,700 all-in. $2,495 rent IS a house payment — except with a house you get the yard, the garage, and the equity.

So if you're renting anywhere near that number, you're a buyer. And if you own Downriver — that's your buyer pool.

Comment MATH and I'll show you what that rent buys as a payment. Comment NUMBER if you own and want to know what your place is worth.

Nobody Downriver wants to sell.

That's your opening. 👀

Most owners are locked in near 2.77% from 2021.
Trading it for 6.69% adds about $941 a month on the same $400K.
So they stay put.

But here's the flip side:

Inventory is razor thin across our area.
Grosse Ile alone? Just 27 single-family homes for sale on the entire island.

List today and you're not one of dozens of look-alikes — you're one of a handful.
And the buyers still shopping at 6.69%? They're not browsing. They're serious.

Thin competition + serious buyers = a real seller's window.

Thinking about a move but stuck on the math?
Comment MOVE and I'll run both sides for you — what you'd give up, what you'd gain.

Rates: Freddie Mac 30-yr weekly avg via FRED (Aug 2021 vs Aug 2026). Inventory: Zillow single-family actives, Aug 7.

This Woodhaven seller just blinked. 👀

24909 Foxmoor is now $429,000 — and here's why that number matters:

4 bedrooms. 2.5 baths. 2,405 square feet of brick ranch that's been meticulously kept. Gas fireplace, tray ceilings, an open kitchen that actually flows, and a yard your kids (or your dog) will claim immediately.

Homes like this in Woodhaven don't sit once the price gets right. And the price just got right.

The buyers who win in this market are the ones who move when the numbers move — not two weeks later when it's pending.

🚨 JUST LISTED | Woodhaven 🚨
The developer of Wood Pointe built this house for HIMSELF. 👀

Keystones over the windows. Stepped brickwork under the eaves. Full brick front. Nobody spends that money on a house they’re selling — he spent it because HE was moving in.

📍 24909 Foxmoor | 4 BD • 2.5 BA | $449,000

Swipe ➡️ to see why he kept the best lot in the sub:
✨ Two-story foyer + vaulted living room + tray-ceiling dining room
🔥 Family room: double-step tray ceiling, stacked stone gas fireplace w/ carved mantel
🍽 White kitchen, black stainless appliances, breakfast bar + wine rack — ALL appliances stay
🧺 First-floor laundry w/ brand-new 2025 LG ThinQ set (yes, they stay too)
🛁 Huge vaulted primary suite — granite floor-to-ceiling bath, his & hers sinks, jetted tub

And the part that makes this EASY:
✅ New roof (2024)
✅ 20 years left on transferable window warranty
✅ Whole-house GENERATOR ⚡ — when the street goes dark, you won’t even notice
✅ New flooring throughout and newer carpeting throughout as well, extremely clean and turn key!

If you're trying to buy on Grosse Ile right now, here's a number you need to understand.

Sale-to-list ratio: 99%.

Translation — sellers on this island are getting 99 cents on every dollar they ask. Not 92. Not 95. Ninety-nine.

What that actually means for you as a buyer:

→ Lowballing isn't a strategy here. It's a way to lose the house to someone who didn't.
→ Asking-price offers aren't aggressive — they're competitive. Period.
→ The real leverage is timing, financing certainty, and showing the seller you're serious. Not the dollar amount.

I tell every buyer client the same thing: the win on Grosse Ile isn't beating the seller down on price. It's getting to the table first, at the right number, with a clean offer. That's how my buyers won the last three island closings.

If you're 6 months out from buying, start watching the per-sqft data now — it tells you which neighborhood your budget actually fits before you fall in love with a house you can't compete for.

Comment REPORT — I'll send you this week's Grosse Ile breakdown including per-sqft by neighborhood. Free.
