Moleskin Journals for Our Life Passions

by Andy Piper on February 21, 2012

In the world of notebooks and journals it can hardly be argued against that Moleskin is, for a variety of reasons, the very best available.

The Famous Moleskin Journal

Famous for their simple yet elegant little black note books, Moleskin has recently been bold enough to introduce new designs (kind of, the notebooks are still essentially black). A new line of Moleskin journals is now available for the consumer to gobble up: The Passion Book Series.

In the past there were simple changes or style designs that merited our attention; new cover designs featuring things like Woodstock, color and arbitrary patterns. With the exception of their Cities collection, featuring maps and important information on some of the worlds largest cities, little else changed.

That is until now. Moleskin has introduced the Passion Book Series which undoubtedly helps make lives easier and doing things more interesting.

At PiperPartners we love Moleskin. I carry one in my back pocket daily and Andy has a pile on his desk. When news of these great additions to the Moleskin family showed up, we recognized their potential immediately. PiperPartners believes that building yourself, your life, your desires, goals and family into the fabric of a house is essential to making a home. These note books are ideal to help any homeowner and hobbyist do just that.

Here’s a few selections we liked best.

Wellesley Gardens Condominiums Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti MI

Wellesley Gardens condominiums in Pittsfield township will have to wait for phase two to be developed.  According to Annarbor.com The buyer of the parcel plans to hold on to it until the market is right for development.  The Wellesley Gardens parcel was sold at auction last year for just $100,000 to an Ann Arbor investor after starting out priced 1.2 million.

Wellesley Gardens condos in phase 1 were built between 2003 and 2008 and originally sold between @ $160,000 and $220,000.  With each new building, the units increased in price around $5,000 and sold as fast as they could be built.  Today, units in this handsome Pittsfield Township development have stabilized around $120,000  with several units selling for under $100k.  Leases are popular here too running around $1,300 per month.

By any measure, the buyer of phase two is sitting on a great investment.  Presently, condos only stay on the market for a few weeks before going under contract.  Demand for the townhouse style condominiums is high at current price points with buyers waiting for the next one to hit.  Most of the sales at these prices are short sales or bank owned offerings.
