Rockford Michigan Real Estate Market Report April 2009

 

Current Absorption Rate for Rockford Michigan is 24.69 months

 on average, which means if no new listings come on the market,

it will take 24.69 months to sell current inventory.  This is a

slight increase since last month.  If you don't need to sell

your Rockford home, don't put it on the market.  If you have

to sell, it must be priced correctly and be in excellent condition

with the huge inventory available, buyers can be picky.

With a 24-month absorption rate, the only way to beat the odds is price.  Unfortunately, I'm sure prices have dropped, making equity a rarity - and thus limiting the ability to drop one's price enough for a quick sale.  My brother owned two homes outside of Detroit, and he lost over a half million dollars to finally sell them when he got a new job in California.  By the way, besides price... another important factor in selling is choosing the right agent, and it looks to me like you're really on top of your market!  Keep up the good work.
