Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes June 2010

 

Caledonia Michigan Top Best Buy Homes June 2010

 

We have listed the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan Houses

to buy based on price per square foot.   Price per square foot is

a great leveler.  If two similar homes are listed at similar prices,

their price per square foot should be similar.  The price should

reflect the interior finish of the  home. 

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers,marble tile, & a new

kitchen, this would be more per square foot than a home that

still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict condition.

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report April - June 2010

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report  April - June 2010

Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is  currently 6.5 months, which means if no other

homes come on the market, it will take 6.5 months for the current inventory to sell at the current

sales rate.  This stat is down by one third+ less than last year’s figure.  We are seeing a definite

slowdown after the first quarter uplift in sales in Caledonia homes.  Sell times are currently

edging out of the  "normal" range of 3-6 months and back to a buyer's market.

 

Caledonia MI Public Library


153 current active listings

High price - $1,145,000

Low price - $ 49,900

Current average  List price $272,376

Current average sold price $200,148

26 Pending Sales

44 Sold Homes

Average sold price/Square foot is $ 101.95

Sold High $525,000

Sold Low - $22,500

1 home in million dollar+ range skews the figures somewhat in the upper home price brackets.


The Caledonia market has been busy so far this year; buyers bought 2 homes

under $100Kthe majority of homes purchased were between $100-300K.    Currently,

there are only 10 homes listed under $100K, 39 homes listed  over $ 500K, and that means

77 homes are listed between $100K and 499,999K, many opportunities in the middle

brackets to own a home in Caledonia. In general, higher priced listings are seeing

downward pricing pressure from buyers.

With interest rates at record low levels, buying now could save you thousands

of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

Caledonia Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan - March 2010

 

Current Caledonia MI Absorption Report

Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is  currently 4.6 months,

which means if no other homes come on the market, it will take

4.6 months for the current inventory to sell at the current

sales rate.  This stat is down by one third+ less than last year’s figure.

We are seeing a definite upturn in sales in Caledonia homes and

sell times are currently returned to a "normal" range of 3-6 months.

 

Caledonia MI Public Library

 

There are 125 current active listings, from $77,900 to

 $1,195,000 in Caledonia MI.

Current average Caledonia home listed price is much higher

[about $297,773] than the average sold price [$166,914].

37 Pending Home Sales, and 44 Sold Homes since Jan 1, 2010.

The average sold price/Square foot is $ 92.89

Sold High $425,000   Sold Low - $57,400

There are 3 homes in million dollar+ range listed, so this skews

 the figures somewhat in the upper home price brackets.

The Caledonia market has been  busy so far this year; buyers 

bought 6 homes under $100K, the majority of homes purchased

were between $100-200K.   

 Currently, there are only 9 homes listed under $100K, 39 homes

listed  between $ 300K-999,999K, and that means that 77 homes

are listed between $100K and 299,999K, many opportunities

in the middle brackets to own a home in Caledonia.

 

With interest rates bound to rise, buying now could save you

thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

Caledonia Michigan Best Buy Homes January 2010

We have gathered a list of the TOP Caledonia Michigan Houses to buy,

based on price per square foot.   Price per square footis a great leveler. 

If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their price per square foot

should be similar.  The price should reflect the interior finish of the  home.  

 For example, if it has crystal chandeliers,marble tile, & a new kitchen, this

would be more per square foot than a home that still has the 1970’s decor

and/or is in derelict condition.

 

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.
