Buying For Sale By Owner Real Estate in East Lansing Michigan
- Real Estate Relocation
See the AskMe Feature Below.
“For Sale By Owner” homes very often overpriced
No-one denies that, on occasion, you can negotiate directly with the sellers and save money. However, most buyers assume that if they buy directly from an owner they will get a lower price. Since the owners wouldn’t have to pay a commission, they could pass along their savings to the buyers. But why would they want to? Most sellers don’t take on the burden and expense of selling their own home so they can give buyers a better price. They do it to pocket more money for themselves. East Lansing real estate sellers are no different!
In fact, as often as not, people selling their own homes overprice them. They’re hoping to find some “bargain-hunting” buyers who will be hoodwinked into believing they are saving money because there’s no agent involved. In addition, even if the home appears to be priced right, it may suffer from hidden defects. Buyers moving in from out of town to East Lansing Michigan are the most vulnerable to assessing the value of For Sale By Owners. The home may be a steal compared to house prices in their home town, but may not be a good deal here in East Lansing Michigan.

The settlement of East Lansing began around 1847, the same year nearby Lansing was made the capital of the state of Michigan. Downtown East Lansing was an important junction of two major Native American trails: the Okemah Road, and the Park Lake Trail. By 1850, the Lansing and Howell Plank Road Company was established to connect a toll road to the Detroit and Howell Plank Road, improving travel between Detroit and Lansing, which cut right through what is now East Lansing. The toll road was finished in 1853, and included seven tollhouses between Lansing and Howell. Michigan Agricultural College (now Michigan State University) was founded in 1855 and established in what is now East Lansing in 1857. For the first four decades, the students and faculty lived almost entirely on the College campus. A few commuted from Lansing, and that number increased when the streetcar line was built in the 1890s, but there were few places to live in the then-rural area immediately around the campus. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
