greater grand rapids area real estate: Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate ~ Top Best Buys ~ May 2009 - 05/25/09 01:35 AM
The Top Best Buy Blogs that we publish are based on price per square foot,
which is one of the best ways to analyze a home for pricing.  For example,
if a subdivision has 14 homes for sale, and they are all relatively similar,
the price per square foot should be close together.  This doesn't always hold
true but it is a great leveler in the home resale industry. 
 Buyers should find out why they are being asked to pay $ 20-30-40 per square
 foot more for the home they are considering than neighboring homes. Does it
have extensive remodeling, a … (0 comments)

greater grand rapids area real estate: Grand Rapids Michigan ~ Real Estate Market Absorption Reports ~ April 2009 - 05/03/09 07:00 AM
Grand Rapids Michigan has much more to offer in housing than the city
 proper. It has many suburbs that make up the greater Grand Rapids 
population.  The suburbs have a larger population than the city itself, as
Grand Rapids has about 200,000 people, and the whole metropolitan area
has over 600,000 people living and working in the Greater Grand Rapids area. 
 
 

 
We feel that reporting the real estate activity in each area gives a more
realistic picuture of the local real estate market than an overall approach.
This is a listing of the Absorption Reports & Top Best Buys April 2009 for
 each  suburban … (2 comments)

greater grand rapids area real estate: Congratulations! You are Homeless! - 04/30/09 12:39 PM
Yes, that is exactly what I said to my newest sellers last night.  Their home
just went on the market yesterday. A buyer just waiting for this type of listing
found it within hours of putting the sign in the yard and going live on our MLS. 
They called me to get details while we were on our way to take pictures and
get measurements to enhance our listing on our web site and the Multiple
Listing Service.  Then they called their agent and he scheduled a showing
for 6 pm. 

 
I received another sign call to show the … (8 comments)
