Happy Monday, Downriver! 🏡
Last fall, nearly 45,000 sellers pulled their homes off the market.
The message was clear: "If we can't get the price we want, we're out."
Now? They're coming back. CNBC is reporting that sellers are re-listing at the fastest pace in a decade — and spring is just getting started.
Here's what the data is telling us right now:
📍 Rates are hovering around 6% — down nearly a full point from last year. That's real buying power returning to the market.
📍 Purchase mortgage applications jumped 6.1% in one week — demand is waking up fast.
📍 Michigan inventory is still tight — only about 3 months of supply statewide. Homes priced right are moving.
What does that mean locally? Downriver has always been a value-driven market — and right now, it's still favorable for sellers and more accessible for buyers than it's been in two years.
Pricing is everything in this environment. Come in too high and you'll sit. Come in right and you'll move.
I'll keep sharing what I'm tracking as we move into peak season. Stay tuned.
P.S. If a move has even crossed your mind, let's talk now — before the competition heats up. My clients who start early are always glad they did.

Every March, I feel it before I see it.

The market wakes up. Sellers who've been quietly wondering — is now the time? — start reaching out. And honestly? It's my favorite time of year to have that conversation.

So this month, I'm going all in on sellers.

Every post, every tip, every honest piece of advice is for the homeowner who's been sitting on the fence. Whether you're thinking about listing in 30 days or 6 months — this month is for you.

We'll cover everything:
✔️ What your home is actually worth right now
✔️ What to prep (and what not to bother with)
✔️ How the market shift affects YOUR bottom line
✔️ What the selling process really looks like in 2026

No pressure. No pitch. Just real information from someone who's been doing this a long time and still loves it.

Drop a 🏡 in the comments or send me a DM. Let's talk about what your home is actually worth right now.

What does a selective market mean for home pricing in Downriver Michigan?
It means buyers are comparing EVERYTHING before they make offers.
Homes priced right: 7 days on market.
Homes priced high: 45+ days on market.
The market's not slow.
Your strategy needs adjusting.
Here's what's actually happening:
Buyers today aren't just browsing. They're COMPARING.
They have apps. They know price per square foot. They see how long you've been listed. They track price changes.
And when they compare your home to the 5 others in their search?
If your price doesn't make sense, they skip it.
They don't negotiate overpriced homes.
They ignore them.
📊 Data shows: Downriver homes priced within 3% of market value sell 6x faster than homes priced 10%+ above market value.
What actually sells homes in a selective market:
✓ Well-maintained (beats trendy every time)
✓ Accurately priced (not "room to negotiate")
✓ Honestly presented (condition matches price)
Your 1960s Downriver bungalow that's been cared for? That SELLS.
Smart pricing strategy for 2026:
1. Price AT current market value (not last year's)
2. Let your home's condition support the price
3. Create urgency with accuracy (goal = offers in 7-10 days)
The goal isn't to leave room for negotiation.
It's to create competition in the first week.
Strategy beats guessing. Every time.
❓ COMMON QUESTIONS:
How do I price my house to sell fast in Downriver?
Price at current market value based on recent comparable sales. Homes priced accurately sell in 7-14 days.
What do buyers look for when comparing homes?
Price per square foot, days on market, condition vs similar homes, and your pricing history.
Should I price my home high and negotiate down?
No. Buyers in 2026 skip overpriced homes. Accurate pricing creates competition.
What sells homes faster — updates or maintenance?
Maintenance. Buyers want clean, functional, and dry basements. Granite countertops don't drive offers.

Your property tax notice just arrived — and if you bought your home in the last few years, this is worth reading.
In Michigan, your taxes are based on your taxable value. When a home sells, that value uncaps — meaning your taxes reset to match the current assessed value. For many newer buyers, that shows up as a higher escrow payment or a surprise increase.
Here's what to check on your notice:
→ State Equalized Value (SEV)
→ Taxable Value
→ Then compare your SEV to recent sales in your neighborhood
Every March, Michigan homeowners have a short window to appeal through their local Board of Review. Most people don't know it exists — and miss it entirely.
If your numbers don't look right, it may be worth a second look.
I help Downriver homeowners review their assessments every year. Message me directly and I'll take a look — no pressure, just answers.

Happy New Year’s, everyone 🤍
It’s taken me a few days to process this past year — to sit with my heart, to think, and to summon the courage to review everything that has transpired, where I am, what’s been accomplished, and all that lies ahead.
I’m genuinely grateful to be saying goodbye to 2025, and even more grateful to be welcoming a new year with hope, intention, and an open heart.
I’m choosing to believe 2026 can be vibrant, healthy, healing, joyful, meaningful, and good — and I’m choosing to step into it that way.
2025 held a lot.
From deep heartbreak to quiet exhaustion, and everything in between.
And yet… it also held so much beauty.
It held loving and laughing.
Crying and apologizing.
Forgiving and beginning again.
It reminded me that life is either an adventure or nothing at all — and that our messy, imperfect, human moments are often the most sacred ones.
This year deepened something important for me:
Being present — in my home, my faith, my relationships, and my business.
Asking myself, “Is this actually building the life we want?”
That question changed everything.
I’m thinking about someone very dear to our family who was taken far too soon.
A life that mattered. A heart that was huge. A spirit that stays with us.
Our family carries that love forward — and we hold especially close those who continue to walk through loss, change, and letting go in ways that most people never see.
It reminds us to be present.
To choose compassion over conflict.
To remember that peaceful coexistence serves everyone far better than division ever could.
So this year, I’m choosing:
Joy over resentment.
Presence over distraction.
Love over judgment.
Gratitude over regret.
I’m leaving behind what hurt me, and I’m keeping what grew me.
My wish for you is simple:
May you experience more joy than sorrow.
More sunshine than rain.
More peace than worry.
More connection than isolation.
More love than anything else.
Hold your people close.
Take care of yourself and one another.
Don’t wait to be present.
Here’s to a new year, a new chapter, and becoming more fully who we already are.
God bless you and your family, and may the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and being more present and aligned with all that means most to you.
Much Love,
Robin
🤍
