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.
