grand rapids real estate: It's a Beautiful day to do Real Estate!!! - 08/06/09 08:01 AM
Here I sit in Grand Rapids, Michigan and it is one of the Chamber of Commerce days.  You know the type - the sun is bright, the sky blue with little wisps of white clouds dashed in for effect and the tempurature are awesome.

grand rapids real estate: A Moment in History - 07/21/09 04:40 PM

grand rapids real estate: Grand Rapids Real Estate Market Update - 04/11/07 03:47 PM
No matter where I go, I am asked, "How is the Market?" I usually ask "Why do you ask?" If they are trying to sell a home they know that prices are coming down and the time to sell a home is taking longer. U.S. Home & Realty does a monthly Grand Rapids Area Total Market Overview and by our calculations we are showing that there is currently an eleven month supply of home on the market.If they are a buyer, now is a great time to become a first time home buyer or even better time to be a move … (3 comments)
