Rockford’s sold housing market has leveled off in price

since the first half of the year.  Even though the last half of the

year has seen brisk sales,  prices have not risen appreciatively.

Grand Rapids area.  Homes are selling for an average

of $125.00 per square foot in the Rockford market.

Putting your home on the market before the Spring

season really gets going eliminates a lot of your

competition.

Rockford Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Rockford Michigan is a northern suburb of Grand Rapids, about

15-20 minutes by freeway from the center of the city.  It is a small

town on the Rogue River with an excellent public school system and

diverse businesses and resources.   The real estate picture for 2010

was not one of growth but 464 people bought homes in Rockford,

making it one of Grand Rapids most popular suburbs.

334 Active Rockford MI Listings 

Absorption Rate : 9 months

Sold Rockford Homes: 464

Average sold price  $ 162,135

Average Sold Price/SqFt  $111.00

Housing sales in both Courtland Township, Algoma

Township and City of Rockford were down about 35-38%

from 2009 figures, though average prices were slightly higher.

Inventories will probably increase with the spring market and

buyers will have their pick of the best homes for sale, though

prices seem to be ticking up.

 

It is imperative that you have your  home in  great condition

and priced correctly, over-priced homes and tired looking homes

will not sell for top dollar in this buyer’s market.  Good buys can

be had in all segments of Rockford’s housing market, which ranges

from over a million to $60,000 at the low end.

Rockford Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – May 2010

We have a list of the TOP Rockford  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: 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

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 a new roof & 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.
