Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes March 2010

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes  March 2010

We have gathered a list of the TOP Kentwood 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.

Lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $32.37 to $59.95 in Kentwood this month.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment,

automotive plant shutdowns and loss of population. Short Sales are

extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a purchase.

Please keep in mind the time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating with

the banks makes it almost impossible for some buyers to consider.

Foreclosures are somewhat easier to purchase but many are sold

as-is.  The Tax Credit for home buyers will go away on April 30th,

2010.  If you have been thinking of buying a Kentwood home,

NOW IS THE TIME!!

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Kentwood Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2009

Kentwood Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2009

Kentwood Michigan is a large suburb of Grand Rapids with a population

under 50,000. It has manufacturing, shopping centers, and lots and lots

of residential housing. Kentwood Public Schools are one of the largest

school systems in the area with over 9000 students and 16 buildings

within a 24.25 square mile area.

Kentwood high school kentwood mi

Kentwood home sales are still on a general downward trend

in price. Over 1/3 of Kentwood Homes Equity has dissolved in

the last 3 years, according to the current stats.

We are still seeing some price reduction even though activity is high.

On the good news for sellers,  Kentwood has one of the lowest

absorption rates in the area.

Foreclosures and short sales  are still affecting the average

market price here as Grand Rapids has seen jobs disappear.

The homes under $ 150K in Kentwood are seeing about 80% of  the

overall sales.  The homes over $150K are selling but at a slower rate.

In 2007, Kentwood had 434 homes sales: avg sold price:$151,009

In 2008, Kentwood had 722 home sales:avg sold price: $115,127

In 2009, Kentwood has had 448 home sales: avg sold price:$ 100,561

Home sales for Kentwood – Up to $150,000:

116 Active Listings w Avg sold price $ 115,673

378 sold      Avg sold price   $102,538

Home sales for Kentwood$150,001 & UP:

58 Active Listings w avg sold price of $ 189,463

70 sold         Avg sold price $150K+ = $174,132

Kentwood Absorption Rate for this price range is 4.6 months,

at the current rate of sale (which means if no new listings come

on the market, it will take 4.6 months to sell the active listed

homes). This is a great rate for the Grand Rapids area and shows

that Kentwood is a popular and affordable city to live in.

We have gathered a list of the Top Kentwood Home Buys based

on price per square foot.

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

and other  homes come on the market. The homes listed below are probably

dated and would need updating with new carpeting, paint, and kitchen-bath

redos at a minimum to bring them to current market standards. They might

need major repair work done, such as new roofs & mechanicals.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $28.51 to $69.57 in

Kentwood this month.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas.  A large

number of the homes we researched this month were short sale

properties that will be probably be coming on the market in the

next 6-9  months as foreclosure sales.


Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to

consider as a purchase.  Please keep in mind the time alone

[3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it almost

impossible for some buyers to consider.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes October 2009

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes October 2009

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Kentwood Home Buys.

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

are  adjusted and other  homes come on the market. The homes listed

below are probably dated and would need updating with new carpeting,

paint, and kitchen-bath redos at a minimum to bring them to current

market standards. They might need major repair work done, such as

new roofs & mechanicals.

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $26.34 to $69.44 in

Kentwood this month.

Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with

average price per square foot @ $58.50.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas.  Nearly half of

the homes we researched this month were short sale properties

that will be coming on the market in the next 6-9 months as

foreclosure sales.

Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to

consider as a purchase.  Please keep in mind the time alone

[3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it almost

impossible for some buyers to consider.

Kentwood Michigan Crystal Springs Real Estate Market Report Oct 2009

Kentwood Michigan Crystal Springs Real Estate Market Report Oct 2009


Crystal Springs Development in Caledonia, Michigan is a large,

residential suburban housing development that was started in the late 1980’s

and most construction was finished in the 1990’s although some newer homes

have been built since 2000. There are also a few vacant lots left to develop.

This development covers a large area around the Stonewater Golf Course

at Crystal Springs south of 68th Street to 72nd Street and encompassing

Kalamazoo Avenue on the east and west.  This development has single

family homes and condos, many located right on the Stonewater Golf Course.

The public school system is Kentwood, even though the address is Caledonia.

Crystal Springs is close to the shopping plaza at 68th and Kalamazoo,

Kentwood High School, and a short hop to M-6, which is the south beltline for

the Greater Grand Rapids area connecting US 131 on the west and I96 on the
