Kentwood MI Top Best Buy Homes Sept 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.*

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

Please note: We will not be including Short Sale Properties

in our lists of Top Best Buys, if stated on MLS.

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 $30.11to $69.90 n

Kentwood this month.

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

most less than $70 a square foot.

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.  The time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating

with the banks makes it impossible for most buyers to consider.

There are still quite a few bargains to be had in the Rockford

area, there are 9 listings under $100K.   If you are thinking of

buying in Rockford, now is the time to be looking. Prices are

climbing. Homes that are in great condition and priced right

are selling quickly.  “Below tax appraisal” priced homes are

disappearing from the market in some areas of Grand Rapids.

Don’t overlook the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers

or buyers who haven’t owned a home for the last 3 years.

This will be available for homes closed until November 30, 2009,

but time is running out—-unless Congress extends it.

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Sept 2009

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

based on price per square foot. Please note that this list can change daily

as some homes sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the

market. 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 per

square foot than a home that is in derelict condition.

Note:  We will not be listing “Short Sale” properties in our list,

if disclosed.

Luxury Grand Rapids MI Condo Open House Sept 27, 2009 12-2 pm

The  Open House on this great property is the first time it has been open.

It is well worth a walk through.  Photos on the internet can tell you a whole

lot about a home but they don’t really do a home justice. The other senses

besides sight are important to the way we feel about a potential home.

That is why Open Houses and showings are so important to a buyer making

a decision about where there next  home will be.

The Open House at 3523 Reeds Crossing is a great condo in a great location,

just off the East Beltline, close to East Grand Rapids and downtown, yet

minutes away from 28th Street’s shopping Mecca.  This condo home has

fantastic wooded views with lots of privacy.

We will have this home OPEN from 12-2 pm Sunday Sept 27, 2009.
