Kentwood Michigan Real Estate Market Report April- June 2010

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.

Foreclosures and short sales are still affecting the average

market price here as Grand Rapids has seen high unemployment.

The homes under $150K in Kentwood are about 90% of the

overall sales.  The homes over $150K are selling but at a slower rate.

 

In 2007, Kentwood had 434 homes sales: average sold price:$151,009

In 2008, Kentwood had 722 home sales:average sold price: $115,127

In 2009, Kentwood has had 448 home sales: average sold price:$ 100,561

 

Home sales for Kentwood – Up to $150,000:

Active Listings 114

Average list price $111,707

Pending Sales  18

Sold    323

Average Sold Price $95,550

 

 Kentwood Absorption Rate for this price range is  1 month,

at the current rate of sale (which means if no new listings come

on the market, it will take 1 month to sell the active listed

homes). This is a phenomenal rate for the Grand Rapids area and

shows that Kentwood is a popular and affordable city to live in.

This figure has probably been affected by the Homeowner Tax

Credit that expired on April 30, 2010.  I wouldn’t expect this rate

to hold up for the 3rd quarter of 2010.

 

Home sales for Kentwood – $150,001 & UP:

Active Listings  40

Average list price  $ 190,426

Pending Sales  6

Sold  Listings  15

Average sold price  $177,286

Kentwood Absorption Rate for this price range is 5.7 months,

at the current rate of sale, which means if no new listings come

on the market, it will take 5.7 months to sell the active listed

homes.

We have listed the TOP Best Buy Kentwood 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.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot. 

Lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $33.36 to $64.97 in Kentwood

 this month.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment,

which propels foreclosures and short sales.  Short Sales are

extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a

purchase due to timing.  Please keep in mind the time alone

 [3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it difficult

 for some buyers to consider.

Foreclosures are somewhat easier to purchase but many are sold

as-is.  The Tax Credit for home buyers has expired, except for

military serving overseas.  If you have been thinking of buying

a Kentwood home, NOW IS THE TIME!!  Interest rates are still

at record lows and inventory is still high.

           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

If you are looking for a home with most of the maintenance and

updating done, this could be exactly what you have been searching

for.  This home in Princeton Estates just off 52nd Street in Kentwood

located at 5300 Queensbury is a quality built home with 3 bedrooms

& 2.5 baths.

 

 

But those simple facts don’t tell you that the home has been

updated from top to bottom.  In the past few years, this home

has had new laminate flooring laid on the main floor and in the upstairs

bedrooms, with new trim.

The kitchen has been remodeled with cherry cabinets and new

appliances.  The main bathroom has been remodeled with a spa

tub/shower with tiled enclosure, new vanity and sink top, new ceramic tile

flooring. 

 

The master suite is awesome!  Super sized at 12 by 28 feet, it could

be a private oasis.  It has its own private bath with ceramic tiled

walk in shower and ceramic tile flooring and large customized walk

in closet.

 

 

The main floor family room has been wired for surround sound,

has a wood burning fireplace with gas log, and an 8 foot sliding

glass door to the extensive tiered decks in the back yard.  The

back yard has landscaped privacy and mature shade trees.

 

 

 

The basement has been updated with a recreation room with

easy care ceramic tile flooring, recessed can lights, and an office/

craft room.  A new high efficiency furnace and 50 gallon hot

water heater was installed in 2009 for green energy savings.

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.

 

 

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot. 

Lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $32.37 to $59.95 in Kentwood this month.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment, auto-

motive plant shutdowns and loss of population. Short Sales are

extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a purchase. 

Please keep in mind the time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating with

the banks makes it almost impossible for some buyers to consider.

 

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

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

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Kentwood Home

Buys.  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 roofs & mechanicals.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $30.11to $69.90 n

Kentwood this month.

Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with

most less than $70 a square foot.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas.  Nearly half of

the homes we researched this month were short sale properties

that will be coming on the market in the next 6-9 months as

foreclosure sales.

Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to

consider as a purchase.  The time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating

with the banks makes it impossible for most buyers to consider.
