Thanks to Cressy & Everett Niles office for having me speak at the sales meeting this morning. We talked about new FHA requirements and had a good question and answer session. Always enjoyable to visit this office.

This should read "built in the late 1800's" . Sorry about that, it was not built in the lake.

Looked at a house today that we knew was built in the lake 1800's because of the stone foundation walls. On the second floor the owner had started peeling back some of the layers of wall paper. One of the layers was news paper that had been used as wall paper. We started looking at the newspaper/wall paper and saw that the paper was dated 1886. Hopefully you can see the date in the photo. March13, 1886.

Bank type barns like this are becoming a thing of the past. The owner is planning to restore this barn. If you are out in the country and see an old barn you may want to take a photo to pass down to the kids and grand kids.

The year end MLS sales stats are in for Southwest Michigan. For 2014, the number of units sold was down 2%, the number of days on the market was up 15% (the St. Joseph area was actually down 19%), the average sales price was up 3% and the median sales price was up 8%. These stats cover a large area and vary by individual township. Overall the numbers are positive and headed the right direction.

Found this light fixture at the Garage Bar up north a few days ago. This is a pole barn looking building with an over head garage door they leave open to patio seating. The inside is finished with varnished plywood. The screwed this block to the wall near an outlet and clamped a utility light to it that they aimed toward the ceiling. These were all around the room. The food was great also!

This photo was taken at the 2013 Art Prize in Down Town Grand Rapids. This is a room where the walls are made of Styrofoam packing materials like the packing material that would be in the box of your new TV, stereo, furniture, ect. There was back lighting behind it. The first thing that came to mind in how much fun a dog or cat would have in a room like this. Art Prize is a nationally known art show in Grand Rapids that lasts for several weeks with exhibits inside and outside.

A lady called for an appraisal yesterday. She said there was an appraisal done a few months ago and the value of the house had actually gone down. The next comment was a statement that real estate values do not go down. It will be interesting to see if there is a radio or TV in the house!
