« Previous Entries5 reasons to buy a small house in Saugatuck
Monday, January 16th, 2012Saugatuck has many beautiful homes that range from large luxury homes to smaller starter homes, finding the perfect one for you can be overwhelming. Due to the economy, mansions are being sold at rock bottom prices, but should you really buy one? Living in a smaller house has some benefits.
Small houses cost less, not even buy but also to heat and cool. Home projects such as painting cost less in a smaller house, even furnishing and decorating costs more in larger homes. Douglas has beautiful homes that aren’t enormous, but are very spacious.

Saugatuck Hidden Investment
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
Think outside the box. This newer contemporary 900 sq. ft office was built to be an executive retreat. Now bank owned and priced at a low $75,000. Here’s a twist why not make the simple conversion of this space into a wonderful 1 or 2 bedroom condominium. It already has a beautiful fireplace, nice cabinets and wet bar that could very economically be converted into a kitchen and the all the bath needs is a shower. Township SAU would be required but the reward would be great. This building is located just a few blocks from Downtown Saugatuck and would make an excellent summer rental and it this price you should definitely make this property cash flow. What else could you find in this good of condition at this low of a price. Call Dick Waskin or Bill Rowe at RE/MAX Saugatuck-Douglas 269/857-2191 to view this property before it is gone.

Friday, December 2nd, 2011A foreclosure can do more than ruin your view, they can hurt the financial health of your neighborhood. But you don’t have to let it ruin your home equity.
Prevention makes the biggest difference. Be a good neighbor.

“Fixing” Your Home’s Layout
Monday, October 24th, 2011One of the first things homebuyers look for when shopping for Michigan real estate is the layout of the house. Like the location of the house and its overall size, layout is one of the things about a home that cannot be changed without a very large time and money investment.
In the current Saugatuck real estate market, many of the things that make a house unique – its paint color, flooring, the kitchen counters, and even the size or type of the windows – are being upgraded to entice buyers. But if your home has a restricting layout, which makes the house look smaller, darker, or inaccessible, you might have a difficult time making a “quick fix” to increase your chances of a fast sale.
