I live on MI. I will agree that there is not much to do here and think that the houses generally lack character. But I love the location, I feel generally safe walking around at anytime of day (cyclists are the largest danger), and the schools are good.

I think that you are right, that foreclosures will be less of an impact on MI, but I think that as a result, rents in places where people can afford to hang on to homes will be where you can find good deals. I seen several houses for rent here for very good deals.

It looks like this condo is not doing nearly as well as once hoped. I think it is still owned by the developer based on my driveby today. There were three on the list. I don't think it has ever been lived in.

Built in 2006. Been listed for over 1 year and has dropped 20% or $100,000 from the original listing.

I had a friend that bought house in Talus, although I had suggested not to. The house was bought for ~730k, any idea for comps around that area?

[Markor]

Talus has a wide range of home types, so more info would be needed.
