Pending Home Sales: 66

 

Sold Rockford Homes: 375    From $ 25,880 to $ 599,900

Rockford’s sold housing market has leveled off in price

since the first half of the year.  Even though the last half of the

year has seen brisk sales,  prices have not risen appreciatively.

 

Home inventory is lowing Rockford, as it is all over the

Grand Rapids area.  Homes are selling for an average

of $125.00 per square foot in the Rockford market.

Putting your home on the market before the Spring

season really gets going eliminates a lot of your

competition.

Population Growth in Kent County Michigan

Population Growth in Kent County Michigan

Which areas within the county are people moving to?

GR MAP

The townships that grew the most in the last 10 years are:

Ada, Caledonia, Courtland, Algoma, Byron, Gaines and Lowell.

These areas have seen a twenty per cent growth in the last 10 years

while Kent County as a whole has seen a six per cent population growth.

 

In our opinion, these population growth spurts usually follow jobs

and life-style choices.  All of the above areas are near Grand Rapids but

offer a suburban life-style and proximity to large employers and good school

systems.
