You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2010.
The New Remodeling Magazine is out with the annual Cost vs Value Report.
One of the most common questions sellers and buyers ask me is:
"Should I remodel or add on to my house?
Is adding another bathroom going to be money I can recoup when I sell?"
Even today’s buyers that are buying at 2000 or before price levels, need
to be smart about home improvements if they think they will be moving
in the next 10 years. It is always intriguing that some areas of the
country value some home additions more or less than others.
This report gives an estimation of the return and an approximate cost of
several common remodels, additions and rehab projects in the home. It
is specific to different regions of the country.
2009-2010 COST vs VALUE REPORT
Since we are from Grand Rapids Michigan we have directed you to that page
but you can navigate to other areas of the country from there. We hope this
article is helpful in the decision making process, if you are considering a
home remodel or addition.
As always, feel free to call me about specific questions for your specific area.

GRAND CANYON WEST, ARIZ. – Perched over the Grand Canyon close to a mile above the Colorado River, a massive, multimillion-dollar glass walkway will be the centerpiece of a struggling Indian tribe’s plan to lure tourists to its remote reservation.Tribal officials say the development, which may eventually include hotels, restaurants and a golf course, is the best way to address the social ills of a small reservation, where the 2,000 residents struggle with a 50% unemployment rate and widespread alcoholism and poverty.The Hualapai have worked for years to attract more tourists to their 1-million-acre reservation. About 200,000 people visit the reservation each year, about 1/25th of the visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park, about 5 hours away.
We took the tour, walked the skywalk, and took many pictures of the stunning scenery. Hope you enjoy our online photo album.

Major remodeling on the I-96 expressway starting at the bridge over the
Grand River in Grand Rapids and running to Fuller Street exit is being
announced by Michigan Department of Transportation through a novel
method – a YouTube video.
The video takes you on a completed trip through the new proposed
highway, from both directions, east & west. It shows the 4 bridges
that will be replaced: Diamond, Lafayette, Eastern, and Coit Avenues.
This $40 Million project is part of American Recovery & Reinvestment
Act benefits. A new south wall, landscape beautification and new
signage and lighting will be added along this two mile driveway to
downtown Grand Rapids.
Article here but the best information is covered in the video.

We have gathered a list of the TOP Rockford 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: 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 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 a new roof & 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.
The total square footage is noted here, although only the
main floors are used to figure price per square foot, even if
the basement is finished.

East Grand Rapids bargains have all but disappeared. Only one home
under $100K (it is under 1000 square feet) has been listed for the past
8 months.
If you have been waiting for the right time to buy, don’t wait much
longer. We are seeing definite signs of competition for homes in most
areas, like East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills. Homes in good condition
and priced appropriately are selling quickly.
*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and not habitable
as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*
