Kentwood Michigan is a large suburb of Grand Rapids with a population under 50,000. It has manufacturing, shopping centers, and lots and lots of residential housing. Kentwood Public Schools are one of the largest school systems in the area with over 9000 students and 16 buildings within a 24.25 square mile area. Kentwood home sales are still on a general downward trend in price. Over 1/3 of Kentwood Homes Equity has dissolved in  the last 3 years, according to the current stats.  We are still seeing a small price erosion from last month's figures, again this month, though the spring activity is high.  Foreclosures are still affecting the average market price here as Grand Rapids has seen jobs disappear.    The homes under $ 150K in Kentwood are seeing 5-6 times the  sales of the homes o...

  Wondering what to do? Owe more on the mortgage than your home is worth? Looking for options and nobody has the answers? Americans owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth.  In many cases this means they are simply stuck! They can't sell and they can't move.  So how do you solve an upside down mortgage? You and millions of others are asking the same thing. First not all home values have gone down.  We have areas within our local market that have seen increases in sell prices and others where the prices have stayed level. Many times the values and the mortgage payoff have become out of balance because of a low down payment.  This simply means the home value dropped faster than the principle on the mortgage. The other cause for homeowners to have a problem is simple they to...

We are entering into the summer months sunshine and outdoor fun. If you are like me I love the outdoors and like crisp fall and spring days but I just enjoy everyday of sunshine.  I have always enjoyed anything that allowed me to be outside.  Teaching a worm to swim on the end of a hook, walking on a beach or showing clients homes. We don't live in tornado alley but you better take heed and be prepared.  We have tornados that popup almost without notice.  Many times we have had tornados the just appeared and caused significant damage. Having a storm preparation kit and safety area to take shelter for severe weather can be a life saving act for you and your family. I have sat in a home during a hurricane and seen a major tornado from a distance...which made me very happy to be 7 or eight...

STAMPEDE!!!  Well OK, just a great Open House. I had my busiest open house in years.  I had done a few open houses before at this listing..nice home, extremely well priced for the area. I've had just a handful of buyers show up and a few no shows that I was expecting.  But this past weekend I had well over 20 different buyers show up for the open house.  I didn't have a minute to myself...my feet ached, my legs hurt, my throat was sore, my back hurt and it was the happiest I've ever been after an open house!  I didn't get any firm offers, but I did get a few possible listings, and a couple buyers who didn't think this was the house for them ...but they were going to buy and could I help them! I normally have great open house attendance...considering the comments of my colleague this was...

Kentwood Public Schools are one of the largest school systems in the area with over 9000 students and 16 buildings within a 24.25 square mile area. The downward trend of the last few years in Kentwood home sales  is still continuing this year. We are still seeing a slight price erosion from last month's figures, again this month.   The upper end homes in Kentwood aren't seeing the kind of activity that the lower end homes are getting.  They may be priced too high for today's timid buyers or it could be condition.  Your list price has to be close to the sale price or your home just doesn't get serious buyer activity.  And if...

We have gathered a list of the top Kentwood Condo Homes based on price per sq ft.  Please note: This list  can change daily as some homes sell, prices are adjusted  and other  homes come on the market. The homes  listed below are probably dated and would need updating with new carpeting, paint, and kitchen-bath  redos at a minimum to bring them to current market standards. They might need major repair work done, such as new kitchens, baths & mechanicals.  Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get  up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know. The total square footage is noted here, although only the main  floors are used to figure price per square foot. The lowest price/Sq Ft range from $33.56 to $63.86  for  Kentwood Condos.    February 2009 BEST BUY Condo...
