Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Nov 2010

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Oct 2010

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 1970’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.

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

For example, if the home 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 a derelict or tired condition.

With only 5 homes priced under $100K, there are fewer bargains

to be had in Caledonia real estate.  Price is still being driven

downward UNLESS homes are in great condition and even

that isn’t a guarantee that the home will sell quickly.

If a Caledonia home is where you would like to live,

interest rates are at historically low rates and inventory

is still high. Waiting to see the bottom of the market could

be a mistake, you can’t tell it is the bottom until it is gone.
