Greater Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Market Report by School District 2007 – 2011

Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Market Report by School District Jan 2007-2009

Real Estate is always local. Grand Rapids is such a large metropolitan

area, the real estate market report for the whole area is not necessarily

indicative of  what is going on in any local area.  We hear a lot about

how we are doing as a whole, but these national and state reports

certainly don’t tell you what your neighbor just got for his home or

what the market prices are in your community.

We have split the Grand Rapids area up by public school district,

to give a logical approach to this report. This is a macro neighborhood

report, not a micro report.  Bear in mind, these are average sold prices for

large areas, not specific neighborhoods.  But we hope it gives you a good idea

of where home prices are in your general area within the greater Grand Rapids

market.

Typical Closing Costs for Grand Rapids Buyers

Typical Closing Costs for Grand Rapids Buyers

If you are considering purchasing a home, you should know what

fees and expenses you will be responsible for.  These costs should be

disclosed in your good-faith estimate of all settlement costs.  These

expenses are typically due at the closing.  Your title company or other

entity conducting the real estate transaction’s escrow or closing will tell

you the required amounts for:

· Down payment

· Loan origination

· Points, or loan discount fees, which you pay to receive a lower interest rate

· Home inspection

· Appraisal

· Credit report

· Private mortgage insurance premium

· Insurance escrow for homeowner’s insurance, if being paid as part of the mortgage

· Property tax escrow, if being paid as part of the mortgage. Lenders keep funds for taxes and insurance in escrow accounts as they are paid with the mortgage, then pay the insurance or taxes for you.

· Deed recording

· Title insurance policy premiums

· Land survey

· Notary fees

· Proration for your share of costs, such as property taxes or utility bills

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Oct 2011

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes   Oct 2011

A list of the TOP Best Lowell  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.

If not, the disparity should reflect the interior finish

of the  home.  For example, if it has updated decor, new flooring,

& an updated kitchen and baths, this would be more per square

foot than a home that still has the 1980’s decor and/or is in

poor condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

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

Active Listings: 150

Average Sold Price: $163,405

PENDING Sales: 26 homes

SOLD Homes: 45 Sold Homes

Average Sold Price to List Price:  93.41%

Absorption Rate for Lowell Listings is 6.3 months for the

current housing inventory. If no other homes enter the market, it

will take 6.3 months for the current homes to sell at the current

rate of sales. This figure is in the normal range and hasn’t changed

all year.

Lowell Homes are selling for a little more than the first half of

2011, on average.  Although, the average sale price to list

price has fallen, as we are seeing throughout the Greater

Grand Rapids area.  With record low interest rates, now couldn’t

be a better time to purchase a home.

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Sept 2011

Forest Hills is actually a school district in Ada/Cascade  real

estate market that is always active. These 2 Grand Rapids suburban

communities have wonderful neighborhoods, some older, some new

with Top Ranked Forest Hills Public Schools and private schooling,

such as Ada Christian that attract many home owners.

This report covers the third quarter 2011 Forest Hills real

estate market activity.

handsbanner thumb Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report April – June 2011

Forest Hills July – Sept 2011 Real Estate Market Report:

Active Listings – 400

Average Sold Price: $283,932

Pending – 63

Sold – 169

% Sale Price to List Price – 94.1%

Absorption Rate: 5.17 Months

Please bear in mind that this report is all about averages.

While it might take one home 330 days to sell, another may sell in

under a week.  Condition, location, amenities, and price play a

large role in a fast sale.  Even though there are many multi-million

dollar homes in this district, the majority of homes are under

$400K with the average sold price under $300K.

 

The Absorption Rate is increasing with fall approaching, 5.1

 months means that it will take 5.1 months for the current inventory

of homes to sell, if selling at the current rate.  This is considered a

normal market. Real estate is selling in the Forest Hills district,

despite what you hear on the nightly news.

Flipping or Renting? Which Option is Best?

Flipping or Renting?  Which Option is Best?

Many investors, big and small, are reconsidering flipping houses

in this slow-as-molasses housing market we are in.  Renting an invest-

ment home is becoming a much more viable option in many markets,

including Grand Rapids Michigan. 

This article discusses the new trend to rent an investment house

to get a fast dollar return.  Single Family Rental homes are in high

demand in most market areas but check with your local realtor

before splashing into this pool.

 Grand Rapids MI Home

Renting single family homes is very often the only choice for sellers

that find themselves unable to sell their home for the amount they

have invested.  This option can be a great alternative to selling;

as long as you have all your bases covered: 

  1. Renters may pay or not – Do you have contingency funds?
  2. Do you have an eviction plan? This can happen to anyone – be prepared.
  3. Renters may damage your property –Plan on additional funds.
  4. Video home before moving in with tenants – condition is verified.
  5. Houses need Maintenance – plan on time/money for repairs.
  6. Consider a property manager if you don’t want to deal with tenants.
  7. Home insurance canceled and/or increased – vacant homes are at risk.

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.

40 Pending homes, 50 Sold Homes in Kentwood last month.

Average sold price = $ 123,808

Average original price = $138,055

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.

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Sept 2011

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Sept 2011

This list of Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan Houses for Sale

based on price per square foot between $45-$100/SqFt.   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 the home has a newer kitchen, wood floors, & remodeled

bathrooms, this would be more per square foot than a home

that still has 1970’s decor and/or is in worn or “tired” condition.

Caledonia real estate  is selling fairly quickly if priced correctly.

Only 6 of  the sold & pending homes this month have been listed

for 100+ days.  Price is still a huge factor, the average sale price

is up to $182,707 but the real telling factor is percent of sale

price to list price – only 2 homes were under 90%.

 

Distressed homes are still about 30% of the sold market here

 in Caledonia.   Mid priced homes in good condition are selling almost

as fast as they hit the market.
