Predictions for Spring 2018

We wish we could wave a wand and make this shortage go away.

It is a real impediment to listing a home.  We have several sellers

that are searching for their new house before they dare to list

their current one.  Their home will sell almost immediately and

they have to have somewhere to live, either permanent or

temporary, as soon as 60-70 days after listing.

2014 Midwest Cost vs Value House Remodeling Trends

Cost vs Value House Remodeling Trends 2014 Grand Rapids MI

By Bonnie & Terry Westbrook

 

Should you remodel the kitchen, get rid of that laminate

countertop and replace it with granite?  Would you be

able to recoup the expense of putting a new deck on

your house?  Would that new Master Bathroom put

you in the red when it is time to sell your house?

 

frontdoor.jpg

 

These are all good questions to ask yourself before

undertaking a small or major remodeling job on your home.

Not all improvements add to the value of your home

for future buyers.  Be cautious about costly

improvements if you plan on moving in the near future.

 

 

Take a look at the Cost vs Value Report that comes

out every year to help you add true dollar value to your home.

This report lets you see what buyers are willing to dole out

more dollars for in home improvements.  It changes slightly

from year to year, but the big dollar wise improvements

stay pretty consistent.  The key words are”curb appeal”.

A new steel front door and new garage door are the

number one spots for well invested money spent on your home.

 

The complete report can be viewed at this link:

2014 Cost-vs-Value Trends

 

Since a kitchen in San Diego,  St. Louis, and Boston differ widely in

cost, this report does specify regions of the country.  Our Midwest

Region can be viewed at this link:

East North Central Remodeling Trends

 

Call Terry @ 616-292-7263 if you would like specific advice

about a home improvement you are considering for your

home.  He can tell you the most value added improvements

for your particular neighborhood.

Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – May 2010

We have 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 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 derelict

condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

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

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by unemployment,

automotive plant shutdowns and loss of population. Short Sales are

extremely difficult for most home buyers to consider as a purchase.

Please keep in mind the time alone [3-9 months] of negotiating with

the banks makes it almost impossible for some buyers to consider.

Foreclosures are somewhat easier to purchase but many are sold

as-is.  The Tax Credit for home buyers will go away on April 30th,

2010.  If you have been thinking of buying a Kentwood home,

NOW IS THE TIME!!

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

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

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

up-to-date local real estate information that you want to know.
