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.*
