I think it’s hard for many of us to acknowledge our own personal success. For those of you who know me well, you know that I rarely sit back and recognize my own achievements. But this month is different!

The past month has been a whirlwind. In July 2020 alone, I had SIX homes go under contract and had EIGHT new listings join my roster! Thank God I took a vacation in June because the housing market in metro Detroit and all of Michigan is STILL insane!

This past week you could actually feel Autumn in the air with cool, crisp 70 degree evenings, and it’s truly astonishing how fast this season has flown by. Quarantine has been both a blessing and a curse — so many of my clients have learned to either appreciate the homes they have even more or done everything in their power to get into a better living situation. How are you holding up?

My friend and fellow agent, Dan Elsea, publishes amazing monthly analyses of the Southeast Michigan Housing Rebound Update. You guys loved last month when I included this, so check it out!

Other fun market updates that you should be aware of:

• Rising Waters on Lake Michigan are Threatening Luxury Homes

• The Homeownership Rate Jumped To The Highest Level Since 2008

• Watch the August Update from Realtor.com to hear more about interest rates and market trends

In July, I worked with six other agents and put together a Detroit condo tour with 10 listings in Brush Park. Developers or other realtors reading this should 100% reach out to me if you want to partner up in the future to host a fun Covid-compliant event. If you guys want tips on how to host your own, then please message me on Instagram or send me an e-mail!

Speaking of blog posts - there’s TONS of new content up for you to check out this month.

Finally, I really wanted to take a second to shout out my partner-in-crime, Abbey Mackool - director of operations. I’m a firm believer that it’s important to recognize the people who help you achieve your dreams and Abbey has played a huge role in our success. We’re breaking our own records! She’s the yin to my yang and a huge asset to the team.

Looking for a female-boss, powerhouse team? Then e-mail us and let us know! We look forward to hearing from you all soon! Don’t be strangers. xoxo -Erica
