We have listed the TOP Best Buy 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 $33.36 to $64.97 in Kentwood
this month.

Kentwood & Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment,
which propels foreclosures and short sales. Short Sales are
extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a
purchase due to timing. Please keep in mind the time alone
[3-9 months] of negotiating with the banks makes it difficult
for some buyers to consider.
Foreclosures are somewhat easier to purchase but many are sold
as-is. The Tax Credit for home buyers has expired, except for
military serving overseas. If you have been thinking of buying
a Kentwood home, NOW IS THE TIME!! Interest rates are still
at record lows and inventory is still high.
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.
*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and
not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*
