Commentary on 2011 Sold prices:  Although 5 of the sold homes

in 2011 were $400K or over, the 3 sales under that figure

drew the average sales price down.  This is happening all over

the nation, distressed properties, foreclosures and short

sales are still driving prices downward, even in popular neighborhoods.

Population Growth in Kent County Michigan

Population Growth in Kent County Michigan

Which areas within the county are people moving to?

GR MAP

The townships that grew the most in the last 10 years are:

Ada, Caledonia, Courtland, Algoma, Byron, Gaines and Lowell.

These areas have seen a twenty per cent growth in the last 10 years

while Kent County as a whole has seen a six per cent population growth.

 

In our opinion, these population growth spurts usually follow jobs

and life-style choices.  All of the above areas are near Grand Rapids but

offer a suburban life-style and proximity to large employers and good school

systems.

good buys at historically low interest rates. The homes in the most

up-to-date condition sell the fastest, as most buyers

do not want to do any repairs or updates.  Distressed homes are

fewer and home prices are on the rise in Forest Hills for Sept. 2011.

 

This list could include properties in Ada Township, Cascade

Township, Grand Rapids Township, Lowell Township, and the

city of Kentwood.

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

prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.
