Current Caledonia MI Real Estate Market Report

Thornapple River 60th in Caledonia MI

Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is  currently 10 months,

which means if no other homes come on the market, it will take

10 months for the current inventory to sell at the current

sales rate.  This is up slightly from last month.

There are 136 current active listings, from $54,900 to $1,100,000 in

The current average Caledonia home listed price is much higher

[about $323,207] than the average sold price [$180,310]. 

 

This shows me that the upper end of the Caledonia  market is slow

to sell and the lower end (under $200K) is selling.  Sold price per

square foot continues to slide downward. There are some excellent

buys in Caledonia, don’t wait until they are gone.

 MARKET SYNOPSIS: Caledonia MI is experiencing the same

problem as other areas of our real estate market. A glut of homes

on the market and buyers with a bargain mentality.  At the current

rate of sales, we have a 30+ month supply of homes, if no other

homes come on the market.  If you don’t need to sell your Caledonia

home now, this is not a good time to test the waters with a high price

on your home. Save yourself the trouble and don’t list  your home unless

you absolutely have to sell.  And price it accordingly.

 

 

If you have questions about Caledonia homes or

Grand Rapids homes, please contact me directly.
