Grand Rapids Good Eats – The Cottage Bar

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

Grand Rapids Good Eats – The Cottage Bar

Voted Best Burger many times by Grand Rapids residents,

this little bar off Fulton and Jefferson in downtown

Grand Rapids is one of our favorite places to eat.

Besides the burgers and potatoes, they have chili, which

can range on the fiery scale from one alarm to five alarm

hot!

In the summer months, outdoor dining is available. Open for lunch

or dinner, you can’t go wrong at the casual Cottage Bar. It can be crowded

on a weekend evening, so arrive early or be prepared to wait.

We have received no remuneration or monies for this endorsement.

Lowell Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan – Mar 2012

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

Lowell Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan – Mar 2012

Lowell Michigan is located on the Flat River just east of Grand Rapids, MI.

It has really grown in the last 20 years, in many ways. Lowell has a great

school system, a thriving business community, a lively arts society, and

is one of the growing Grand Rapids suburban communities in Kent County.

LOWELL MI Jan to March, 2012 Real Estate STATS:

Active Listings: 122

Average Sold Price: $137,737

PENDING Sales: 22 homes

SOLD Homes: 55 Sold Homes

Average Sold Price to List Price: 94.5%

Absorption Rate for Lowell Listings is 4.7 months for the

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

will take 4.7 months for the current homes to sell at the current

rate of sales. This figure is in the normal range and has dropped

2 months from last year.

Lowell Homes are selling for about 10% less than 2011.

Although, the average sale price to list price has risen slightly,

we still aren’t seeing a dramatic price increase. The lower

active listing count will affect this eventually.
