Predictions for Spring 2018

We wish we could wave a wand and make this shortage go away.

It is a real impediment to listing a home.  We have several sellers

that are searching for their new house before they dare to list

their current one.  Their home will sell almost immediately and

they have to have somewhere to live, either permanent or

temporary, as soon as 60-70 days after listing.

Township, Grand Rapids Township, Lowell Township, and the

A list of the TOP Best Buy Kentwood Michigan Houses to buy,

based on $85-$90/ 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 and amenities should be similar.

The price should reflect the interior finish of the  home. For example,

if the home has newer flooring, new mechanicals & a decent kitchen,

this would be more per square foot than a home that still has pre-1970’s

fixtures, decor and/or is in poor condition.

Kentwood has been hit hard by the real estate downturn,

propelled by foreclosures and short sales.  Short Sales are

extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a

purchase due to timing.  Please keep in mind the time alone

[2-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it difficult

for some buyers to consider.  Foreclosures are “somewhat” easier

to purchase but many are sold as-is; so, funds for home repairs

and improvements are crucial to making this transaction viable

for buyers.
