An article in CNNMoney.com says home sale contracts have risen for the
8th consecutive month. Most of this activity is attributed to the first
time home buyer tax credit. NAR [National Assoc of Realtors] released
September figures that homes sales spiked 6.1% in August, the index’s
highest level since December 2006.
Just how is Grand Rapids doing? With one of the highest unemployment
figures in the country, and home foreclosures only second to Nevada,
let’s see how Grand Rapids is faring in home sales so far this year.
Greater Grand Rapids Area Home Sales 2009
- January 324
- February 401
- March 507
- April 606
- May 532
- June 707
- July 703
- August 635
- September 606
- October 612
Total 5633
Jan – Oct Homes Sales 2008 = 5205
Jan – Oct Homes Sales 2007 = 5159
Jan – Oct Homes Sales 2006 = 5436
Jan – Oct Homes Sales 2005 = 6305
Well, it looks like the best year for home sales in the Greater Grand
Rapids area since 2005, a record breaking year of home sales.
Signs are good that CNNMoney is right, home sales are doing well
nationally and in Grand Rapids.

Crystal Springs ~ Kentwood Absorption Report August 2009
Crystal Springs Development in Caledonia, Michigan is a large, residential
suburban housing development that was started in the late 1980’s and
most construction was finished in the 1990’s although some newer homes
have been built since 2000. There are also a few vacant lots left to develop.
This development covers a large area around the Stonewater Golf Course
at Crystal Springs south of 68th Street to 72nd Street and encompassing
Kalamazoo Avenue on the east and west. This development has single
family homes and condos, many located right on the Stonewater Golf Course.
The public school system is Kentwood, even though the address is Caledonia.
Crystal Springs is close to the shopping plaza at 68th and Kalamazoo,
Kentwood High School, and a short hop to M-6, which is the south beltline for
the Greater Grand Rapids area connecting US 131 on the west and I96 on the
east side of the city.

In this area of Grand Rapids, as well as others, there are fewer
really great home bargains on the market. If you have been
waiting for prices to start climbing and inventory to shrink, the
time appears to be here. List price and price per square foot are
both higher for all homes this month.
We are NOT including Short Sales in our Best Buy List this month.
We feel they are not feasible for most buyers as the time delays in
negotiating with the lenders are running 3-9 months.
*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and
not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

We have gathered a list of the Top Best Kentwood Home
Buys. 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

Please note: We will not be including Short Sale Properties
in our lists of Top Best Buys, if stated on MLS.
The total square footage is noted here, although only the
main floors are used to figure price per square foot. The
lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $30.11to $69.90 n
Kentwood this month.
Homes on the list this month are still at bargain prices, with
most less than $70 a square foot.
Kentwood & Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive
shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas. Nearly half of
the homes we researched this month were short sale properties
that will be coming on the market in the next 6-9 months as
foreclosure sales.
Short Sales are extremely difficult for most home buyers to
consider as a purchase. The time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating
with the banks makes it impossible for most buyers to consider.

There are still quite a few bargains to be had in the Rockford
area, there are 9 listings under $100K. If you are thinking of
buying in Rockford, now is the time to be looking. Prices are
climbing. Homes that are in great condition and priced right
are selling quickly. “Below tax appraisal” priced homes are
disappearing from the market in some areas of Grand Rapids.
Don’t overlook the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers
or buyers who haven’t owned a home for the last 3 years.
This will be available for homes closed until November 30, 2009,
but time is running out—-unless Congress extends it.

Current Caledonia MI Absorption Report
Absorption rate for Caledonia MI Market is currently 6.6 months,
which means if no other homes come on the market, it will take
6.6 months for the current inventory to sell at the current
sales rate. This stat is less than last month’s figure, we are seeing
a definite upturn in sales in Caledonia homes and sell times are
returning to the normal range.
Current active listings – 158
Low $39,000 High $1,284,900
Average List Price – $304,490
Average sold price – $216,058
Pending Home Sales – 24
Sold Homes – 71
Average sold price/Square foot is $ 108.68
Sold High $875,000 Sold Low – $37,000
These stats are from May 1, 2009
There are 5 homes in million dollar + range listed, so this skews the
figures somewhat in the upper brackets.
The Caledonia market is selling well as buyers try to get
situated in their new homes before school starts. Newer and higher
end homes are selling, only 2 homes pending under $100,000. The majority
of pending sales are $100,000 to $200,000 price range.
Average sold price and sold price/square foot rose again this month,
though average listed price fell by about $20K.
There are some excellent buys in Caledonia but they are
disappearing fast. Don’t wait until they are gone.

The Ada area growth trends remain strong. Ada Township planner,
Jim Ferro states that the Ada population has grown by 20% since
2000. There is a new proposed 80 unit condo site – Villas of Ada
and Stone Falls of Ada – a 210 unit apartment complex, currently
under construction here. Both of these new developments are quite
close to Adacroft Commons.

selling for under $100/SqFt. This neighborhood hasn’t seen any sales
since April 2009, so activity has slowed considerably. Homes that
are in great condition and priced appropriately have the best
chance of selling in this buyer’s market.

Cascade Neighborhood Absorption Report
Tamarron Estates is an upscale suburban development with large
wooded lots, walking access to Thornapple Elementary School and
the Thornapple River Backwaters. It is located just off of
Thornapple River Drive and Cascade Road in Cascade Township.
The house styles vary from large, comfortable ranches, traditional
two stories, to contemporary homes. Many of the homes were built
in the late 1970’s to the mid 1980’s, though there is a new street
that has much newer homes on acreage settings. Some houses close
to and surrounding this development are in the upper price brackets
in the Grand Rapids real estate market.

MARKET SYNOPSIS: Tamarron homes are selling but not at the
prices that sellers would like to see. Today’s market is accepting
homes under $80.00 a sq ft. This is a substantial price reduction for
this area. As you can see, the current sellers think their homes
will sell at $ 130-150/sq ft. The two homes that have sold since
January might be distress sales or foreclosed homes. List prices
have been reduced but still not a lot of activity in this area.
If you have to sell your Tamarron Estates home now, the market
place is telling you that you need to be under $100 a sq ft or
less to see your home sold.

years, though the growth rate has slowed considerably since 2000.
