Rockford Michigan Best Buy Homes June 2009

We have gathered a list of the top Rockford Houses to buy

 based on price per square foot.

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.

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

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

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

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

Rockford Michigan Market Report - It's a Great Time to Buy in Rockford Michigan

                                         Rockford Michigan Market Report

 A GREAT TIME TO BUY IN Rockford, MI         Rogue River Dam at Rockford 

 

 

  • In the chart below, sales activity has remained constant and cost per square foot has dipped slightly for the last few years in Rockford homes. 
  • Even with this good news, the downside is inventory.
  • Currently we have 428 homes for sale. 
  • We have enough inventory to last one year if no one else decides to list their home and put it on the market.

 For the consumer, this means: Buyers are in the driver's seat. Hardly a news flash, but if you have been considering a move to Rockford and thought you couldn't afford it, think again. Even if you can't get as much out of your home as you would like to, the good news is that a move to Rockford Michigan will cost slightly less than  it would have 3 years ago.

Historically, we know this current trend will not last.  Home prices will rise and hopefully, you won't have missed your opportunity to live in this wonderful community at a competitive price.  No one knows when this market will hit bottom and start the climb up. 

 Ideally, you want to catch it going down, NOT UP!  Don't Wait!   Now is the time!
