Homey’s Field Notes: The First Bloom 🌸

Before the trees even have leaves, the forest floor in Northern Michigan is waking up! Homey is out spotting Spring Ephemerals, those tiny, brave wildflowers like Trillium and Bloodroot that only last for a few weeks.

Homey’s Tip: If you’re out hiking the local trails this weekend, stay on the path! These flowers are fragile and provide the very first food for our local pollinators.

Pro-Tip for Buyers: Looking for a wooded lot? This is the best time of year to see the true topography of a property before the "green wall" of summer hides the views!

Don't leave your move to an "average" agent. According to 2025 NAR statistics, HomeWaters agents outperform the field:

✅ 22 Sides of Business (vs. the 10-side average)
✅ $6.75M in Sales (vs. the $2.5M average)
✅ 17.7 Years in Business (vs. the 11-year average)

More experience. More sales. More success for our clients. That’s the HomeWaters difference.

Homey’s Field Notes: The Great Thaw 🧊

In the Northern Lower Peninsula, "Spring" is a verb! We are officially on Ice-Out Watch. As the ice begins to pull away from the shorelines of our favorite inland lakes, Homey has a few reminders:

Piers & Docks: Now is the time to schedule your dock installations! The early bird gets the best spot on the water.

Shoreline Protection: High water levels during the thaw can cause erosion. If you’re a waterfront owner, check your rip-rap and natural barriers now.

Safety First: The ice is "honeycombed" and unstable. Keep the pups and kiddos back from the shelf until the water is clear!

Watching the blue return to the horizon is our favorite part of the 20-year tradition here at HomeWaters.
