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.

Come and see this home this Sunday, Feb 28th.  We will be waiting for you.

 

When you live in a cold climate, the winters are long.

We find our amusements in our backyard. We have a feeder for the birds.

We enjoy watching them up close.

 

We have several other neighbors who like our feeder, too. 

They are always looking for a free lunch, free breakfast, free snack.

It becomes a part time job to keep them away from the black

gold known as sunflower seeds.

 

If startled, the moochers will fly into the air and land with a thud! 

It is about 14 feet to the ground.

We will show “The Moocher” in his dare-devil Olympic Class maneuvers……

 

The Time Trials Begin: How fast can we chase him away?

A few more Seeds before the Actual Events Begin.

Checking out the competition.

Hang Time.

The Clock Starts.

Slippery Conditions on the Vertical Planes.

Great Footwork.

Great Form on the Jump Today.

Waiting for his score and the adulation of the crowd.

The Ottawa Hills neighborhood in Grand Rapids has had major construction

going on all winter.  The new Christian Elementary School is going up

on the old Ottawa Hills Middle School campus.  You can read about the

beginning  phases on an earlier blog.  This campus will serve a large area

and is eagerly anticipated.  It is scheduled to open in the Fall of 2010.

We took a few new photos so you can see how it is shaping up.

We could hear the air hammers working away inside.

Lots of machinery and building equipment in evidence.

The view from the northwest corner of the lot, near Alexander Dr. SE

The former playground was kept intact and their is plenty of open space.

This new facility will be located at: 1501 Fisk St SE
