Michigan sunset w clouds

Summer is a magical time in Michigan, especially evenings.

 They are  long and the light will last until almost ten o’clock.  Which is

great fun is you are a kid playing with your friends or an adult, enjoying the

last hours of a wonderful day. 

 

This photo was taken on the summer solstice in 2010 at Glen Lake in

Northern Michigan at around 9 pm.  A perfect evening in a perfect place. 

That’s Michigan summer.

351 Active Rockford MI Listings

Pending Home Sales: 91

Sold Rockford Homes: 208

Average sold price  $ 188.014

Sale Price to List Price – 96.%

Absorption Rate : 7 months

Housing sales in Courtland Township, Algoma Township and City

of Rockford are included in this report. Rockford’s housing market which

ranges $60,000 at the low end to over a $1 million at the high end. 

The average sold home has increased in value from 2010 figures and

sold activity in Rockford seems to be up.  So far, so good. 

 

The real story of this year’s real estate story is held by the banks. 

The bank owned inventory is very high and hasn’t been coming on the

market at the rate it has in the last few years.  This has allowed the

housing market a brief reprieve this year and seen home prices increase

slightly because of a lack of distressed home inventory.

MI homes, please contact me directly: 1-616-292-7263  or
