We’re proud to share that our broker and founder, Larry Gotcher, was recently featured in a KeyCrew article highlighting why Michigan’s Ann Arbor suburbs are creating one of the state’s smartest real estate opportunities.
With over 30 years of experience — licensed since 1991 and the founder of Keller Williams Ann Arbor in 1998 — Larry shared his insights on why Washtenaw County continues to be a prime market for both homebuyers and investors.
Key Takeaways From the Article
- As Ann Arbor prices continue to rise, surrounding communities like Ypsilanti, Saline, Chelsea, and Dexter offer $200,000–$300,000 in savings on comparable properties
- Strong school districts and minimal natural disaster risk make the area ideal for stable, long-term investments
- Larry and his partners at Pillar Properties, Inc. are actively investing in multifamily, manufactured housing, and affordable housing across Michigan
As Larry put it:
“Anywhere in Washtenaw County — the school districts are really strong, and there are no major catastrophes.”
And as co-owner Andrea Gotcher reminds buyers:
“Interest rates eventually will come down, but your market values will not. The savings you would have saved by waiting for your interest rates to drop is just going to be eaten up by the increase in property value.”
