Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Blog

 

We have a list of the TOP Rockford  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, arble 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: 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 

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 a new roof & mechanicals.

 

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present

condition.*

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot, even if

the basement is finished.

Current Real Estate Market Report Rockford Michigan ~ 2010

Current Absorption Rate for Rockford Michigan runs from 5 months

for lower end homes under $185,000, up to over 1 year for the

very upper end of the Rockford market.

The lower end of the Rockford  market is moving faster than

higher priced homes for the first quarter sales in 2010.  With

interest rates already starting to rise and with buyer tax credits

disappearing after the first quarter, long listing times in Rockford

 will likely continue into 2010, with prices driven down by weak

 buyer demand.  Absorption rates have improved from last

year with lower priced homes being the “hot market”. 

Higher priced homes are seeing more activity than 2009

but are still not back to normal sales levels.

It is important  that you have your  home in  great condition

and priced correctly. Over-priced homes and tired looking homes

will not sell for top dollar in this buyer's market.
