There is little incentive for Asians to build a Chinatown in Detroit proper. So many obstacles, red tape, and higher crime and taxes. Also, I bet most businesses wouldn’t be all that profitable since...

I started this thread approximately a month before the shutdown. Does anyone have predictions for how 2020 has affected real estate in the Detroit area or if their opinions have changed since...

I agree with you that these are the measures we should have been taking months ago, but there is a lack of leadership as well as a lack of willingness on the part of many of our fellow citizens to...

I predict that we will see a lot of bankruptcies and foreclosures in 2021. It could definitely change the face of some cities again as it did in 2008-2012. Cheaper real estate means investors,...

I didn't buy a place, thank goodness. I wanted to take my time while saving more for a down payment. It looks like I'll be taking my time for at least another 6 months to a year, waiting to see how...

The restaurant industry will be hit hard from COVID-19 and it will take years before a recovery. Small businesses will go out of business for good until there is a vaccine and the economy rebounds,...

I don't go south of Detroit often, but I visited Allen Park recently. There doesn't seem to be much to do there, but I was impressed with the housing stock. I wonder if there will be more interest in...

Children benefit from good parents and good schools. I have heard that things have changed in Grosse Pointe since you went to school there. The schools are more diverse, probably because of Harper...

I do not log in often but I eventually read all comments and appreciate those who offered good advice and suggestions.

I don't log in often because I have a busy life, but I have read all the comments on this thread.

No. There are plenty of bad schools in working class white suburbs and rural areas in Michigan. Some of the best schools in the state are in Troy where much of the student population is Asian, South...

I don't see the problem with starting a new conversation on real estate and housing each year. The market changes year to year. The conversation could be different in 2021 depending on what happens...

I like hanging out in Royal Oak, but I don't see myself moving there. The houses are way overpriced in my opinion. One night I was driving in Royal Oak and was shocked that there were no street...

Thanks, gpp1004. The best housing stock in the area is in Detroit proper and the Grosse Pointes. Oakland County is the trendy place to be right now, but the housing stock is not worth the price in my...

I had not considered Canton, but I'll take a look. A bit far from Downtown Detroit and everything in Oakland County, but I'd probably end up visiting Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor more than I do now if I...

Why unhinged politicians and celebrities let loose on social media without first having posts reviewed and approved by advisors is beyond my understanding. She should be forced to resign.

Troy is close to Birmingham and has Somerset Collection and a plethora of restaurants. It isn't charming in the same way as Birmingham, Northville, or the Grosse Pointes, but I'd say there is a lot...

Many of my friends and colleagues have moved back to Detroit. It isn't totally out of the question, but I think I am more leaning towards the suburbs. After factoring in taxes, insurance rates, and...

I am looking to buy a home within close proximity to Detroit. If I didn't have a budget, I'd definitely choose Oakland County. However, Oakland County seems overpriced at the moment. Other than...
