We have 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, arble 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.

Current Real Estate Market Report ~ Rockford Michigan ~ June 2009
Current Absorption Rate for Rockford Michigan is 7.5 months
on average, which means if no new listings come on the market,
it will take 7.5 months to sell current inventory. This is a
50%. decrease from last month, so inventory is selling.
The under $200K market is moving faster than the over $200K.
Homes less than $200,000 since May 1, 2009 sold prices appear
to be still declining slightly, even though 126 homes sold in
Rockford Public School District last month. Foreclosure & bank
owned homes could be tipping the figures downward.
The over $200K market has taken a 15% decrease in average
sold price from last month.

Inventories have increased with the spring market and sales are
starting to take off in Rockford over the last 2 months. The absorption
rate is 7.5 months which is a normal market range for our area.
It appears that smaller homes are selling faster because the price
per sq ft has gone up while the average sale price has declined by
15% from last months report. It is important that you have your
home in great condition and priced correctly. Over-priced homes
will not sell in this buyer’s market.
