Nothing in the million dollar mark for sale here at the moment, this one's about 899k Cdn so knock of 15%. Got it's own beach right on Lake Huron. It's about 5 blocks from our place. It certainly not the fanciest looking house along the lakeshore but it'll do in a pinch I guess LOL
Did you see the yearly taxes on some of those ones in Mpls.. $50k a year on one of them, yikes.

 
Seems like Michigan is ripe for companies to move in and start hiring. One of the odd things I have yet to figure out is why businesses "cluster" together in certain cities. Washington DC, New york, etc, while other cities languish. It seems odd that one would want to locate a business to an already highly competitive area, where one has to pay premium saleries to the workers, and have transit problems moving materials and product in and out. Basically every element of operating a business in one of these "up and coming" type cities is much more expensive.

Now, OTOH, the neighborhoods were those beautiful homes are located to me seem to be ripe for business. Obviously, the real estate is cheap, but You also have loads of cheap labor avaliable as the most obvious benefit, but also, due to the fact that this was a big automobile town means that there's plenty of transit options avaliable to move product and material in and out easily and cheaply.
 
Here's a house across the street from us which must have just sold yesterday because I saw the sign up when I took Parker for his walk this afternoon. It was for sale last year right when I was looking on line for our move. My other half flew here and went to look at it with my mom and sis and none of them really liked it,, bugged me cause I liked the look of it but when it went up for sale again I went thru the open house last week and glad we didn't get it..Needs a ton of work. It was purchased last year for $232 so she's probably not going to get any more than that back on it. The wall ovens old but it's not the original, the house was built around 1957-58

 
I'll take this one

This is the same model I almost bought last year... Its got everything I'd like...
The wood floors have to go though!

 
One can find quite a few bargains in the Pittsburgh area, here is a an example south of the city.

If you are looking for a bargain, stay away from Cranberry, a borough north of Pittsburgh that is all the rage for business growth and expensive houses. Cranberry is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. One reason is an announcement made today. Westinghouse (what is left of it) has decided to built a new national headquarters there and move all their people from Monroeville (east of Pgh). There should be quite a few housing bargains in the east too.

Cvbrvanr, there are several reasons why companies have located in certain cities but I heard that Westinghouse chose Cranberry for a simple reason - 7 of their top ten executives live in Cranberry and they wanted a shorter commute. Nep, who can tell more about Pittsburgh companies.

 
I think that Detroit not only has employment problems, but I think it has a image problem as well. Those houses are nice though but I don't think I'd ever consider Detroit as a place to live.
I also think that after the auto industry being unionized for so many years, the workforce in Detroit expects a union job with high salaries. Ain't gonna happen.
That one ranch on Edenwood Drive I have never in my life seen a kitchen that small! And I thought we had a small one here! It looks like something out of a dorm room!
And Lake of the Isles Drive in MSP is one of the toniest addresses in town! A few on our board of directors live there!
 
Hmmmm....

A city with undervalued housing, a glorious past, and tons of cool buildings crying out for redevelopment...

I smell a golden gay opportunity here- sort of a Palm Springs East, on a larger scale (not architecturally, just in terms of historic renovation). That city proves you can take a whole town nobody else wanted and turn it into something terrific.

You know, you don't HAVE to build cars there...
 
Geeze that reminds me to get my camera over to moms for a picture of her Homart ceiling fan in the little bathroom. I think the one in her kitchen is a Pryne? Still has the original rheostat on the wall too.
