Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Blog

 

We have gathered a list of the TOP 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 $32.37 to $68.15 in Kentwood this month.

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

motive plant shutdowns and loss of population. Although many homes

are listed as Short Sales, these transactions can be 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.

Please note: We will not be including Short Sale Properties

in our lists of Top Best Buys, if stated on MLS.

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.

Crystal Springs ~ Kentwood Absorption Report August 2009

Crystal Springs Development in Caledonia, Michigan is a large, residential

suburban housing development that was started in the late 1980's and

most construction was finished in the 1990's although some newer homes

have been built since 2000. There are also a few vacant lots left to develop.

This development covers a large area around the Stonewater Golf Course

at Crystal Springs south of 68th Street to 72nd Street and encompassing

Kalamazoo Avenue on the east and west.  This development has single

family homes and condos, many located right on the Stonewater Golf Course. 

The public school system is Kentwood, even though the address is Caledonia.

Crystal Springs is close to the shopping plaza at 68th and Kalamazoo,

Kentwood High School, and a short hop to M-6, which is the south beltline for

the Greater Grand Rapids area connecting US 131 on the west and I96 on the

east side of the city.
