What Does This Data Mean?

Month after Month the sales in the Greater Grand Rapids Area remain STRONG! Inventory of existing properties remains extremely low. With low inventories of existing properties and new construction, this will continue to fuel higher than normal list prices and more times than not higher sales prices. You see many buyers in the market today have been beaten out on their offer even if they had written a full price offer with little to no contingencies. After that happens a couple of times many buyers get frustrated and will bid over asking price and the funny thing is they’re probably competing with the other buyers that lost out on properties that they had submitted offers on. There is no end in sight. As long as the economy keeps chugging along and unemployment doesn’t spike back to 8-10%, this recovery will continue. And prices will continue to rise.
