Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Nov 2009

Kentwood Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Nov 2009

We have gathered a list of the Top Kentwood Home Buys based

on price per square foot.

Please note: This list can change daily as some homes sell, prices are  adjusted

and other  homes come on the market. The homes listed below are probably

dated and would need updating with new carpeting, paint, and kitchen-bath

redos at a minimum to bring them to current market standards. They might

need major repair work done, such as new roofs & mechanicals.

*Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures and

not habitable as is or available for a mortgage in present condition.*

Check back often or just subscribe to our blog to get

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

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.  The

lowest prices/Sq Ft range from $28.51 to $69.57 in

Kentwood this month.

Kentwood &  Wyoming have been hit hard by the automotive

shutdowns and subsequent job losses in these areas.  A large

number of the homes we researched this month were short sale

properties that will be probably be coming on the market in the

next 6-9  months as foreclosure sales.


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.
