Grand Rapids Michigan Goes Green

Grand Rapids Michigan Goes Green

by Bonnie and Terry Westbrook

Since April is the month when we talk about all things green,

we thought we would mention the Princeton Review’s latest list of

the Top 311 Green Colleges in the U.S.  A couple of Grand Rapids

colleges are on the list, Aquinas and Grand Valley State University.

Grand Rapids also has satellite colleges from Western Michigan

University and Michigan State University, who also made the list

of 8 Michigan schools.

Secchia Center MSU College of Human Medicine

Kudos to Michigan State University’s School of Human Medicine

Secchia Center on Grand Rapids Medical Mile which just received

a LEED Gold rating.

Well done.

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011

A list of the TOP Best Lowell  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 updated decor, new flooring, & an

updated kitchen and baths, this would be more per square

foot than a home that still has the 1980’s decor and/or is in

poor condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011 

A list of the TOP Best Buy Kentwood Michigan Houses to buy,

based on $70-$80/ 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 and amenities should be similar.

The price should reflect the interior finish of the  home. For example,

if the home has marble tile, new windows, new mechanicals & a new kitchen,

this would be more per square foot than a home that still has pre-1990’s

fixtures, decor and/or is in poor or tired condition.

Kentwood has been hit hard by the real estate downturn,

propelled by 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

[2-9 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, which means you have to

have funds for home improvements.

The FHA 203K loan will allow you to roll some home

improvement costs into your home loan. If you have been

considering a Kentwood home purchase, ask us about how

this loan can work for you.  Interest rates are still at record

lows and inventory is very affordable in Kentwood.

Price per square foot is a great leveler, if two homes are

priced similarly they should be very comparable in amenities.

 

These homes might need major repair work done, such

as new kitchens and baths, roofs, new plumbing, electrical &

other major mechanicals.  They may have dated decor,  an

odd floor plan, or additions/add-ons that are not what most

people are looking for.

7 Sold Homes, 1 Pending Home in Forest Hills District last month

with the majority of activity in Grand Rapids Township.  Only two homes

were in the $100K range, the rest were in $260,000+ category.

Pricing seems to have stabilized in Forest Hills School District.

If you are willing to do repairs and update a home, there are still some

good buys at historically low interest rates, though rates and mortgage

requirements are rising.  The homes in the most up-to-date condition

sell the fastest, as most buyers do not want to do repairs or updates.

 

WARNING: Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures,

short sales and not habitable as is or available for a mortgage

in present condition.

The homes this month in Caledonia real estate are mostly middle

to upper end homes, with only 3 homes under $100K in price.  Activity

is ramping up with the advent of spring, as 22 homes went pending

in the last month, 10 sold.

 

Price is still a huge factor, the average sale was under $150K range.

Since the low sold was $ 25,000 and the high was over $1,000,000,

this is quite a spread.  Distressed properties were about 25-30% of

sales in the last month and there were fewer available on the market.

Foto Friday – Easter Meets Miss Earth Day

In our work, we get to drive all around the Greater Grand Rapids

area all the time.  And we have learned that you just never know

what will “pop” up.  We were in East Grand Rapids the other day 

and this vision caught our eyes on the way home.    We had to

share with you….

FYI….Apparently the well-dressed tree is wearing PINK this year.

West Michigan’s April Snow Showers

West Michigan’s April Snow Showers

Waking up to 2-3 inches of snow on the ground yesterday was an

April surprise, even for West Michigan, which is known for its

changing weather patterns.  I couldn’t resist taking photos of our

snow coated flowers.

Even though it snowed all morning, by 3 pm, the snow was gone and we

were back to green lawns and spring.  The robins were pleased.
