Housing sales in Courtland Township, Algoma Township and City

of Rockford are included in this report. Rockford’s housing market which

ranges $60,000 at the low end to over a $1 million at the high end. 

The average sold home has increased in value from 2010 figures and

sold activity in Rockford seems to be up.  So far, so good. 

 

The real story of this year’s real estate story is held by the banks. 

The bank owned inventory is very high and hasn’t been coming on the

market at the rate it has in the last few years.  This has allowed the

housing market a brief reprieve this year and seen home prices increase

slightly because of a lack of distressed home inventory.
