UnReal Deal on newer home on 5 acres


I'm always happiest when my UnReal Deals feature one of my own listings. That means I'm doing a good job positioning my listings in the market, and my sellers are truly motivated to sell and have priced accordingly.

That's the case this time, as I've selected a house I just listed. It's a six year old BOCA modular home (big step up from a manufactured, stick built quality) with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths that's in exceptionally good condition for a bank owned (foreclosed) property. There's 5 acres of land, a 24 x 30 pole barn and a storage shed.

The house was offered as recently as October for $159,900. It just hit the market at $85,000 and the calls have started coming in already.

Here's a link to more information and additional photos. As always, you can use the resources in the sidebar to contact me, or visit http://www.benzierealestate.com/ to search inventory throughout Northwest Michigan.

Deal on Platte Lake

My latest UnReal Deal is another brokers listing on Platte Lake. It's been a while since I've seen a cottage available on this wonderful lake at a price like this. It's a true seasonal cottage, not some grandiose resort property, but with 51 feet of private frontage, 3 bedrooms plus a bunkroom above the garage, there's a lot of fun being offered for less than $250,000.

Platte Lake is about 3 miles by 2.5 miles, a great all sports lake, and the Platte River flows through it. Median sale price on the lake for the past 2 years was $453,500, and median price for active listings is $585,000, with several listings over $1,000,000.

If you're interested in learning more about this listing or any others on Platte Lake, let me know! You can email me or use one of the tools on the sidebar to contact me via social networks or send me a text.
