Grand Rapids Michigan Real Estate Blog

We have gathered a list of the TOP Caledonia Michigan Houses to buy,

based on price per square foot.   Price per square footis 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.

 

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 to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.

 

Lowest price/Sq Ft range from $39.96 to $89.49 in Caledonia.

Only 3 homes priced under $100K, we are starting to see prices

 creep up and inventory go down, so if you have been waiting

for the best time to buy in Caledonia, don’t wait much longer.

The Buyers Tax Credit is available for First Time Buyers and

homeowners who have lived in their homes for the past 5 of

8 years only until April of this year.  We don’t expect it to be

renewed and interest rates will likely go up.  NOW is the best

time to buy a Caledonia home.

 

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

We are seeing a definite upturn in sales in Caledonia homes and

There are 123 current active listings, from $49,900 to

 $1,100,000 in Caledonia MI.

The Caledonia market has been  busy this year; buyers  bought 8 homes

 under $100K, the majority were between $100-200K.   

Average sold price/square foot and average sold price overall lost

 ground this year.  There are 14 homes listed under $100K, and  lots

of opportunities in the middle brackets to own a home in Caledonia.

With interest rates bound to rise, buying now could save you

thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.

Sometimes a listing comes along that is so wonderful, you wish you could clone it.

The new listing we have on the 4th Green of Stonewater Country Club is that kind of

listing.  The owners have improved their new home for the last 6 years and weren't

planning on being transferred out of state.  This is a fantastic home with so many

extra amenities, it is difficult to list them all here.

 

UPDATE: This home is pending, it had an offer on it within hours of putting the sign in the yard.

If you are a Garage Guy, you will love this garage - it has a gas space heater, electrical

connector for emergency electrical generator hook up,utility sink with hot cold water

plumbing, central vacuum outlet, additional garage lighting, storage area in garage attic,

and epoxy painted floor with industrial quality floor mats.  The yard has extra motion

detector security lights on the sides and rear of the home, an electronic pet fence,

resurfaced  driveway, decorative stamped concrete entrance walk and underground

sprinkling with a wireless rain gauge.

Composite Deck and an custom brick patio in the backyard to enjoy

the view of the 4th green at Stonewater CC.

The interior has had the same attention to detail that the exterior has

had.  Some of the additions are hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom window

treatments, and a finished basement with full bath, recreation room with

wet bar, and a Media/Home Theater Room.

 

This home at 7482 Misty Morning Drive in Caledonia Michigan has 4 bedrooms,

3 1/2 baths, and over 4000 square feet of finished living space.
