Today I want to provide you with four tips to help you make your home more energy-efficient. We’re quickly approaching the winter season, so use these tips to save energy and money: 1. Use natural light. Open blinds and curtains to let the sunshine warm up each room. 2. Get a thermostat you can schedule. Schedule the heat to turn down while you’re at work or at night when you don’t need as much heat. 3. Insulate leaky windows. Make sure all leaks are sealed—this is a massive money saver. 4. Don’t heat unused rooms. There’s no sense in heating a room if you aren’t going to be in it. Shut the door and turn off the vents. For more energy-efficient tips or if you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. I look forward to speaking with you.

Now that we’re approaching the end of 2019, it’s time to review the latest numbers from our market. First, our absorption rate is at six months, which means we’re in a stable market that favors neither buyers nor sellers. Year over year, our average list price has risen about 4% from $175,000 to $203,000. Our average sale price has also risen about 1% from $154,000 to $177,000. Our average days on market, meanwhile, has dropped 31% to 38 days, which is good news. If you don’t live in Mecosta County and you’d like a market update for your area, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d be glad to help you.

testimonials from happy clients

Ken - "Mary did everything we expected her to and she’s just a great Realtor."

Michelle - “Mary and her team are very nice and they all helped us out a lot."

Sarah - "We actually bought and sold a house through them. Whenever I would email them, Shannon would always respond right away. Jackie, who helped us buy our new home, would always work around our schedule too. She would meet us after work, on the weekends, and even at totally inconvenient times for her. She would always let me text her and she really just took care of everything. I didn’t have to do a thing and it was awesome!"

Celina - "Mary was able to find us buyers very quickly which we were very happy about. Someone on her team had a high school aged son that even came out and maintained and cut the grass for us as we do not live up there which we really appreciated as well!"

David - "We got the house sold, it was paid off, and now I’ve got money in the bank! Shannon McIntyre was very helpful to us. She would always return my call anytime I called her or she’d get on the line if she wasn’t busy. "

Evelyn - "We found the home online and Jackie with the Peacock Team called us back right away. She did an excellent job for us! She showed us a few homes and the one we were mainly interested in. The whole team did a good job of always answering our emails and phone calls as we needed them. The overall experience was very excellent!"

Kathy - "We had a cottage, it had been on the market a long time but we just closed this Friday. One thing I was particularly impressed with was Mary’s communication. Every Wednesday she’d contact me and send me her goal, which was to sell my property. All in all it was a very positive experience! I’m a little technology challenged so anytime I needed to scan something in or fax something over, Shannon in the office would either provide me an alternate or made sure that I had all the tools on my side!"

Kevin - "The girl that I worked with was just on top of it. She had a really quick response time, and always kept in contact with me. I had to have a well and septic inspection, and then a furnace inspection. She did price checking for me and connected me with inspectors who had the lowest prices and the best turnaround time. I was quite happy with my experience. "
