East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Jan 2011

This is our list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses

to buy based on price/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 and it should reflect

the interior finish of the home.

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

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

that still has the 1980’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices

are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

East Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Market Report  Jan-Dec 2010

Tree at EGR gaslight village

East Grand Rapids is a community of homes priced from the

low $100,000’s to over $2,000,000 with the majority of homes

selling from $120K to $400K.  Since this is such a large spread

it is difficult to produce true averages, so take that in consideration

with the following statistics.

 

2010 EGR STATS:

107 Active Listings for sale

10 Pending Home Sales

172 Sold Homes 

$256,760 Average Sold Price

111 Days Average Market Time

94.47% of List Price

Absorption Rate: 7 months

Synopsis:  25% Fewer homes were sold in 2010 than

 in 2009, though the average sold price is similar to

last year and the Absorption rate is slightly higher.

Demand for East homes is still high and the turnover

rate is better here than many other areas of metro GR.

Overall, a good year for buyers in East GR.

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – June 2010

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – June 2010

We have a list of the top East Grand Rapids Houses to buy

based on price per square foot for June 2010.  Price per square foot

is a great leveler and a good way to compare properties.

If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their price per square

foot should be similar.  It 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.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices are

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – May 2010

We have a list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses

to buy based on price/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.  It should reflect

the interior finish of the home.

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

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

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

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices

are adjusted and other homes come on the market.
