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.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – May 2010

We have listed the TOP Best Buy Kentwood 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.

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers, marble tile, & a new

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

still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment,

which propels 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

[3-9 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.  The Tax Credit for home buyers has expired, except for

military serving overseas.  If you have been thinking of buying

a Kentwood home, NOW IS THE TIME!!  Interest rates are still

at record lows and inventory is still high.

Please note that this list can change daily as some

homes sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on

the market. Check back often or just subscribe to our blog

to get up-to-date local real estate information that you want

to know.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – April 2010

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – April 2010

We have gathered a list of the TOP Kentwood 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.  The price 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 still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.

Update: Another Westbrook Realty SOLD Home

If you are looking for a home with most of the maintenance and

updating done, this could be exactly what you have been searching

for.  This home in Princeton Estates just off 52nd Street in Kentwood

located at 5300 Queensbury Dr SE is a quality built home with 3

bedrooms  and  2.5 baths.

P1020153

But those simple facts don’t tell you that the home has been

updated from top to bottom.  In the past few years, this home

has had new laminate flooring laid on the main floor and in the upstairs

bedrooms, with new trim.

The kitchen has been remodeled with cherry cabinets and new

appliances.  The main bathroom has been remodeled with a spa

tub/shower enclosure, new vanity and sink top, new ceramic tile

flooring.

Kitchen

The master suite is awesome!  Super sized at 12 by 28 feet, it could

be a private oasis.  It has its own private bath with ceramic tiled

walk in shower and ceramic tile flooring and large customized walk

in closet.

Master bedroom 2

The main floor family room has been wired for surround sound,

has a wood burning fireplace with gas log, and an 8 foot sliding

glass door to the extensive tiered decks in the back yard.  The

back yard has landscaped privacy and mature shade trees.

P1020154

The basement has been updated with a recreation room with

easy care ceramic tile flooring, recessed can lights, and an office/

craft room.  A new high efficiency furnace and 50 gallon hot

water heater was installed in 2009 for green energy savings.

All the hard work has been done – this home is in move-in condition.

Video Tour Link

This home won’t be on the market long….call Terry today for a

private showing.   616-292-7263
