Fall in East Grand Rapids Michigan

Fall in East Grand Rapids Michigan

We enjoy autumn in Michigan, it is one of our favorite seasons.

The fall colors, the crisp fall air, football games, crisp crunchy apples are

just a few of the wonderful things about fall in Michigan.

EGR autumn maple

East GR street in fall

While the autumn colors on the trees are a thing of beauty, they quickly become

a much detested chore to clean up.  Raking leaves on a beautiful fall day

is fun for about 30 minutes. On a blustery cold, rainy day, it is a miserable

chore, a never ending job to complete.  The leaves fall like rain, and will

take a few days to 2 weeks to completely leave the trees.

tree lined street in EGR

If you live in the city of East Grand Rapids, Michigan, this isn’t such a

chore because the city will contract to remove your leaves for you.  All you

have to do is get them to the curb.

EGR leaves


As you can see in these photos of a few streets in East Grand Rapids, many

leaves are at the curb, ready to be picked up and composted.  A sure sign of

fall in these neighborhoods.

Living Alone and Likin’ It

Living Alone and Likin’ It

According to NAR’s [National Association of Realtors] latest figures,

Did You Know: November 6, 2009, the increase in single

owner households in on the rise.  They attribute it to baby-boomers that

are widowed but staying in their home.  There has been an increase in

single women purchasing homes, per NAR’s stats, almost one-quarter of

first time home buyers were single females who purchased their first

home on a median income of $47,400.

Click on this home to see flyer

The national average for single occupant households is 28%.  This figure

is likely to rise after the results of the 2010 census is revealed in January.

This trend is good news for the small bungalows and ranch homes built

after World War II that are on the market today.  We have found that

condos and townhouses have great appeal to the single buyer, too.

It used to be unusual for people to live alone but is much more

accepted as the norm today.

Roselle Park Ada Michigan Grand River Natural Habitat Refuge

Roselle Park Ada Michigan Grand River Natural Habitat Refuge

Roselle Park in Ada Michigan along the Grand River is  247 acre park

that is a dedicated Natural Habitat Refuge.  On a rainy Saturday a few weeks

ago, we stopped and took  a few photos.  It was cold and windy but

the fall colors were great.  We walked on one of the trails along the Grand

River. A very peaceful place to visit. Dogs on leashes are welcome.

Silos at Roselle Park

These silos were left from the previous owner of the property. The one with

the stars on top has been made into a 9 story observation tower.

The Grand River is  the longest river in Michigan. It starts near Hillsdale MI and

winds it’s way north then west, eventually emptying into Lake Michigan.

Home Sales Up says CNN Money – How about Grand Rapids MI?

Home Sales Up says CNN Money – How About Grand Rapids MI?

An article in CNNMoney.com says home sale contracts have risen for the

8th consecutive month.  Most of this activity is attributed to the first

time home buyer tax credit.  NAR [National Assoc of Realtors] released

September figures that homes sales spiked 6.1% in August, the index’s

highest level since December 2006.


Just how is Grand Rapids doing?  With one of the highest unemployment

figures in the country, and home foreclosures only second to Nevada,

let’s see how Grand Rapids is faring in home sales so far this year.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes October 2009

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes October 2009

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Kentwood Home Buys.

Please note: This list can change daily as some homes sell, prices

are  adjusted and other  homes come on the market. The homes listed

below are probably dated and would need updating with new carpeting,

paint, and kitchen-bath redos at a minimum to bring them to current

market standards. They might need major repair work done, such as

new roofs & mechanicals.

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

Kentwood Jaycee Park Kentwood MI

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $26.34 to $69.44 in

Kentwood this month.

Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with

average price per square foot @ $58.50.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas.  Nearly half of

the homes we researched this month were short sale properties

that will be coming on the market in the next 6-9 months as

foreclosure sales.

Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to

consider as a purchase.  Please keep in mind the time alone

[3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it almost

impossible for some buyers to consider.
