Josh's Journal

Hello!  Last night we met some friends for some bowling at the Mine Shaft, and everybody had a good time, especially the kids.  This morning I went up to Lac La Belle to check out a cottage that I’ll be listing here shortly.  It looks like we’re getting a deal together on our Rockland Street listing, so congrats to Jim and Becky on getting their house sold.  Our secretary left town for spring break, and I’m already finding out how much work she actually does!  This is getting to be a busy office to run.  Have a great weekend!

I had a great time last night at the Michigan Tech basketball games.  The women defeated Saginaw Valley in overtime, while the men also won an exciting game over Grand Valley.  Both teams are traveling down to Ohio this weekend for more playoff contests, so good luck to the Huskies!  Today was another day of working on putting together more upcoming listings.  If you are a buyer, there will be many great properties to choose from hitting the market soon.  Have a great day!

Still negotiating some deals today.  It looks we are getting a deal together on this beautiful home in southern Houghton County, so that is great news.  It seems like we are moving some of the ‘higher end’ homes already this year, so that should be a good sign of things to come yet this year.  Tonight I’m looking forward to watching Michigan Tech basketball in the playoffs tonight here at the SDC in Houghton.  Go Huskies!

Nice sunny day here in the Keweenaw.  We received two different offers today, one on a house in Calumet, and one on a house near Nisula, so hopefully those come together.  This week has been fairly busy with buyer inquiries so far, so people must be getting spring fever.  On a side note, do you know anybody with seasoned firewood for sale?

The month of March is off to a frigid start, 20 below zero on my way to work this morning.  It sounds like the CopperDog150 was still a big success this weekend.  We lowered the price of our Lake Medora lot today, making it the best deal on the lake at this time.  I’ve always enjoyed fishing Lake Medora, hopefully I’ll get time this summer to get out there again.  Today we closed on a parcel of land in Eagle River, so congrats to my buyers and sellers on a relatively smooth transaction.  I hope that everybody had a great weekend!
