Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes August 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.

condition are selling almost as fast as they hit the market.

Distressed homes and foreclosures are still driving prices downward

though we are seeing more competition for the traditional sale in

great condition.

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes August 2011

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes August 2011

Our list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses

to buy is based on price/square foot.  If two similar homes are

listed at similar prices, their price per square foot should be similar

and it should reflect the interior finish of the home.  East GR has

homes listed at almost $500/Sq Ft and under $100/Sq Ft, so the

range in this community is wide.

If a home has new kitchen, wood flooring, and new bath updates,

this would be more valuable per square foot than a home that still has

the 1980’s cabinets, dated bathrooms and worn carpeting.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices

are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes July 2011

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

based on $80-$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 marble tile, new windows, new mechanicals & a new kitchen,

this would be more per square foot than a home that still has pre-1990’s

fixtures, decor and/or is in poor or tired condition.

52 Pending homes, 53 Sold Homes in Kentwood last month.

Average sold price = $ 101,979 down 4% from last month

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.

The FHA 203K loan will allow you to roll some home

improvement costs into your home loan. If you have been

considering a Kentwood home purchase, ask us about how

this loan can work for you.  Interest rates are still at record

lows and inventory is very affordable in Kentwood.

Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Forest Hills Homes

(Ada-Cascade) to buy, based on price per square foot.

Price per square foot is a great leveler, if two homes are

priced similarly they should be very comparable in amenities.

These homes might need major repair work done, such

as new kitchens and baths, roofs, new plumbing, electrical &

other major mechanicals.  They may have dated decor,  an

odd floor plan, or additions/add-ons that are not what most

people are looking for.

Summer buying season is on and heating up in Forest Hills,

64 sold homes and 85 pending sales in the last month.

Average sold price  = $ 285,802

 

Pricing seems to have stabilized in Forest Hills School District.

If you are willing to do repairs and update a home, there are still some

good buys at historically low interest rates, though rates and mortgage

requirements are rising.  The homes in the most up-to-date condition

sell the fastest, as most buyers do not want to do repairs or updates.

WARNING: Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures,

short sales and not habitable as is or available for a mortgage

in present condition.

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes July 2011

East Grand Rapids Michigan Top Best Buy Homes July 2011

This is our list of the Top Best Buy East Grand Rapids Houses

to buy based on price/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 and it should reflect

the interior finish of the home.  East GR has homes listed at almost

$500/ Sq Ft and under $100/Sq Ft, so the range here is wide.

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers, wood flooring, a new

kitchen, this would be more value per square foot than a home

that still has the 1980’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes sell, prices

are adjusted and other homes come on the market.  If you would like

to sign up for daily new listing email, just contact Terry.  You can also

sign up for saved searches on our website.  This saves your profile

foreclosures closing to bring average prices down.  Mid priced homes

in good condition are selling almost as fast as they hit the market.
