Market Conditions: Briar Hill Subdivision (Ann Arbor, MI)

Briar Hill is a Subdivision of 180 homes, and is located just south of the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is just off of I-94 and Ann Arbor-Saline road, and is convenient to the city, expressway, and shopping. Briar Hill was built in four phases over about 13 years (1991-2004) Here is a snapshot of Briar Hill real estate:

Nationally, real estate sales in 2006 were down 21%, and locally, the number of sales were down 11%. Briar Hill was able to buck this national and local trend, with the number of sales actually up in 2006 vs. 2005, it is just that Briar Hill homes took longer to sell in 2006, and sellers sold their homes for significantly less in 2006 than 2005.

Bottom line, homes are selling in Briar Hill, it is just taking longer (for the sellers). For Buyers, Briar Hill is a tremendous value. The houses are well built, the schools are excellent, and it's location is convenient.
