Morels and Lakefront Are on My Mind


Spring in Manistee County must be here because people are finding the morel mushrooms. If you haven’t tried a morel, it’s worth the trouble to taste this delicacy.

More importantly, are that buyers are actually making offers and property is being transferred. Banks are busy. First time home buyers are eager. The up to $8,000 back gets their attention.

Boomers are looking for bargains to use in their retirements. Accelerated interest in condos and lakefront keeps agents busy making appointments.

The mood is brighter, the days are longer and timing is perfect if you want to buy. It is definitely a better spring than 2008.

A good lakefront acre lot can be purchase for less than $500,000 which is a bargain compared to prior years. Out of 15 vacant lot listings on Lake Michigan in Manistee County I have 7 listings starting at $395,000 up to $437,000.

Please don’t step on the morels!
