Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes - January 2010

We have gathered a list of the TOP Lowell  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.

 

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.

Lowell Michigan Real Estate Market Report ~ July 2009

Lowell Michigan Real Estate Absorption Report ~ July 2009

Lowell Michigan is located on the Flat River just east of Grand Rapids, MI.

It has really grown in the last 20 years, in many ways. Lowell has a great

school system, a  thriving business community, a lively arts society, and

is one of the best kept secrets in Kent County.

These are the statistics for home sales in the Lowell School District.

Lowell MI Chamber of Commerce sign

Active Listings: 177 Active Listings

Average Price: $251,741

Price per Sq Ft: $129.65 (Main Floor only)

Average days on the Market: 180

PENDING: 32 homes

SOLD: 104 Sold Homes

Average Sold Price: $ 146,115

Average Sold Price Per Sq Ft: $ 88.18 (Main floor only)

Average Sold Days on the Market: 103

These stats are figured from Jan 1, 2009 to July 30, 2009

Absorption Rate for Lowell Listings is 9 months for the

current housing inventory. If no other homes enter the market, it

will take 9 months for the current homes to sell at the current

rate of sales. This figure is inching down each month and is

getting closer to the normal range of 6-8 months.

Lowell Homes that are priced competitively are selling.

As you can see by the statistics, the homes that have their price

per square foot under $90 are seeing the most activity. There are

quite a few foreclosure or short sale homes which are bringing

down the average sales price and square footage rates lower than

they might normally be, but average list price is up slightly

and average sold price is up a bit from last months stats.

Some sellers have retired from the market and will try again soon,

filling an already saturated market.

They might find a better buying market, but price is still king.

Today's buyer is looking for a well priced bargain in great condition.

Kent County Michigan Youth Fair August 9-15th 2009

 Judging, Classes, Entertainment, Contests, Carnival = Family Fun

The Kent County Youth Fair is celebrating its 75th year at the Lowell

Fairgrounds.  I have fond memories of the County Fair from my youth

and 4-H days.  It is a lot more than cotton candy and carnival rides.

I really enjoy seeing all the animals and the exhibits that the kids work

so hard on all year.  Many times you will see sheep, pigs, horses, chickens

on display that are pampered  and well cared for.  It is a chance to see

what is popular on the farm and what might be showing up next at the

Farmer's Market or on your table. 

Kent County Youth Fair Sign 

 

Just the variety of animals can be overwhelming. The last time I went

 to a fair, there must have been 50 different kinds of chickens. 

Who knew?  You kind of know this is true but seeing them in the

 flesh and variety of feathers is something else again.

 

 

Kent Co Youth Fair Poultry Bldg Lowell MI

 

Each day brings its own special events, including free nightly

entertainment.  Don't miss the Cow Pie Bingo!

 

Tuesday August 11th - The Pub Runners                        7:30 pm

Wednesday August 12th - The Jabs                               7:00 pm

Friday August 14th - Country Karaoke                          6:30-10:30 pm

Saturday August 15th -  Blue Star Pilot & Guitar Hero    5:30-10:30 pm 

                                       Annual Rodeo (tickets req.)     7:00 pm

 

There are dozens of events I couldn't mention here, like the Ice

Cream social, Bingo, Garden tractor pull, Livestock sale, Goat

milking contest, performing arts, & Draft horse pull to name a few.

Come on out to the Kent County Youth Fair in Lowell this week.
