Grand Rapids MI Home Seller – Asking More Doesn’t Mean You Will Get More

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Terry & Bonnie

Grand Rapids Michigan Home Seller – Asking More Doesn’t Mean You Will Get More

About one third of homes listed on the Multiple Listing Service do not sell.

They might be over priced, in very poor condition, bad location, a weird

floor plan or some other oddness about them. They will sell at the right price,

which is what we are trying to convey.

The correct price is so crucial to the sale of your home, that if you miss

the mark the first time, you are chasing a downward trend that is very

difficult, if not impossible, to catch.

This can be tricky, as you don’t want to under price the market.

But the market doesn’t hold still, what was a great price a few months

ago is not a great price today. You can’t rely on any market information

over 3-6 months old. You need to know what is happening today.

Example : 440/981 = Days On Market/Total Days On Market

The stats above are for a house in the Grand Rapids market that we saw

on the MLS today. You would think that in almost 33 months on the

market, this homeowner would have realized that their price is not in

line with homes that are selling. Sure, there have been reductions on

this home’s price, but not enough and not soon enough.

Be smart about selling your home. Use a Realtor who can give you the

straight facts, not someone who tells you what you want to hear.

Unless you want to be like the seller above, chasing a downward market

and watching your competition use you as a price comparison.

Should You Listen to Your Realtor or Your Instincts?

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes January 2011

A list of the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan Houses to buy

based on price per square foot. Price per square foot is a

great leveler. If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their

price per square foot should be similar. The price should but doesn’t

always reflect the interior finish of the home.

For example, if the home has a newer kitchen, wood floors,

& remodeled bathrooms, this would be more per square foot than a

home that still has 1990’s decor and/or is in derelict or tired condition.

downward UNLESS homes are in great condition and even

interest rates are at historically low rates and inventory

is still high. Waiting to see the bottom of the market could

be a mistake, new mortgage requirements will take effect in

60 days, which will mean you pay more for less house.

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Terry & Bonnie

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is currently 8.5 months

which means if no other homes come on the market, it will take

8.5 months for the current inventory to sell at the current

sales rate. This stat has risen since last year, showing the slowdown

in home sales has hit Caledonia, as well as the rest of Grand Rapids.

Active Listings – 166

Average List Price – $210,083

Sold Homes = 207

Pending Sales = 23

Average Sold Price = $181,509

Average Price /Sq Ft = $ 98.00

Sale Price to List Price = 95.66%

Average Square Feet = 1832

The Caledonia Market has more listings than this time last

year, by about 25%. Inventory is high, as sales have slowed.

This is a great time to buy a Caledonia MI home, with low

interest rates, high inventory, and slow sales. The experts tell

us there is a shadow inventory of foreclosures that will hit the

market sometime in the future. Whether they dribble into the

market or hit it in huge floods, the downward pressure on prices

will likely prevail.

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes June 2010

Posted on July 16, 2010 by Terry & Bonnie

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes June 2010

We have listed the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan Houses

to buy based on price per square foot. Price per square foot is

a great leveler. If two similar homes are listed at similar prices,

their price per square foot should be similar. The price should

reflect the interior finish of the home.

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers,marble tile, & a new

kitchen, this would be more per square foot than a home that

still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.
