Ann Arbor Michigan Community: Power Center for Performing Arts in downtown Ann Arbor, MI

Monday, August 16, 2010
by Ann Arbor Real Estate Experts
[gallery columns="2"] The Power Center for Performing Arts in Downtown Ann Arbor is a fantastic facility! The Power Center for Performing Arts is a 1,381 seat theatre located on the campus of U of M that frequently hosts a wide range of performances including ballet, live music and plays. The Center is heralded by the School as one of U of M's most technically sophisticated performance spaces. The building opened in 1971 and was designed in the "modern classical" style of architecture - combining massive concrete columns and mirrored glass. The theater space itself is modeled after the Greek theatre at Epidarus, while the stage was an experimental combination of proscenium arch and thrust. No seat in the Power Center is more than 80 feet from the stage. The lobby features tapestries by the world famous Roy Lichtenstein and Pablo Picasso. It is great not just for the arts but also for business and is a fantastic venue for sales meetings, presentations and more! There are always many events being hosted. What is for sure is that it makes a great community resource here in Ann Arbor! Click here for location information. Ann Arbor offers great access to the expressway to get to Detroit or beyond quickly.  A hop skip and a jump away is Zingerman’s Deli, Kerrytown, Kerrytown Farmers Market, U of M campus, Medical Center and University of Michigan football games. Drive to Veteran’s Park for figure or hockey skating, baseball, sledding, swimming, or enjoy fresh produce at Plum Market.  For some specialty items be sure to visit nearby Morgan and York with video.

There is about 10 month supply of homes for sale in Chelsea, Michigan, so we are still in a buyers market and may be stabilizing unless we see a rash of foreclosure homes hit the market. The inventory under $200,000 is shrinking and we are seeing multiple offers. There is still an abundance of choice, low interest rates and great prices.  Other charts below show the trends over the last 12 months. The first chart – Chelsea: Median Price (FS, Sold) shows home asking prices are up 2.5% and sold prices are down 23.8% comparing July 09′ to July 10′ with trend lines showing slightly decreasing sold prices over the last 12 months.    Chart 2 Chelsea: Supply & Demand – # Units (FS, Sold) below shows units for sale from July 09′ to July 10′ have decreased – down 15% and sold units are up 10%. At least the number of active homes for sale is trending down slightly indicating we are on the way to stabilizing, due to the home buyer credits that were in place. To be one of the homes picked, keep in mind this is a price war and a beauty contest. Consult with your agent about making your home stand out. Ask about staging your Chelsea home.    There is still an abundance of choice, low interest rates and great prices.
