Join us for the City-Wide Open House this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 



We’re very excited to have 25 houses listed in the City of Ypsilanti, and another four nearby in the township. There is a (small) updated map on the home page of the website at www.openhouse.ypsi.com . Larger paper maps will be available Saturday at the “home base” at SPARK East, 215 W. Michigan, and at most of the open house sites. 



We hope you’ll stop in at the home base, grab a cookie and some refreshments and learn about available incentives for homebuyers and tour houses for sale in Ypsilanti! 



Call or e-mail me if you have any questions. Spread the word to anyone looking for a home! 



Hope to see you Saturday!
