The leaves are starting to turn color which means 2008 is three quarters over
and it is time to look at the Grand Rapids homes sold in our area. This report
is by school district and shows the Grand Rapids homes sold, median
Grand Rapids home price and the highest home price sold in
Grand Rapids school districts this year to date, September 30, 2008.

Grand Rapids leads the home sales volume with 2426 homes out
of 7564 total, almost a third of the sales for our area so far this year.
Kentwood places second with 624 and Forest Hills third with 581.
Kent City has the smallest number sold at 66 as it is a small community.
The townships that have seen sales growth this year are Gaines, Ada,
Vergennes, Lowell, and Bowen townships.
The corporate city of Grand Rapids SE & West and Southwest have
also seen sales growth.
There are Grand Rapids homes for all price ranges, as you can see, with
7 areas having average home prices below $100,000. All Grand Rapids
home prices are still low compared to 3-4 years ago. I believe many of
these areas have been hit relatively hard by foreclosures and short sales.
