Grand Rapids Real Estate Market
June 1, 2009The economy is slow…home prices are down…the car industry is in trouble…and unemployment is at a all time high in Michigan, but, the phones are ringing!!!!! Yes, real estate in Grand Rapids is starting to make a come back. Talking with other agents in around Grand Rapids, most of them are saying the same thing, I am busy!!! Homes are getting more showings, buyers are calling and agents are selling more houses!! That kind of talk was not out there 6- 12 months ago. The real estate market in Grand Rapids and it’s surrounding areas is on the rise. We have seen evidence of this with the data put out by the Grand Rapids real estate board over the past few months and I am proof that it is true. So, don’t be shy about your house, there are buyers and sellers out there.
Grand Rapids has been and always will be a great city to live and raise a family. We have been in magazine after magazine showing off what we have here in Grand Rapids and now, despite all the bad press everywhere about the economy and Michigan, Grand Rapids will again show it’s true colors and come out on top. We have a lot to look forward to here in western Michigan in the near future. We have the incoming Michigan State University Medical School, the vibrant downtown area continuing to grow and prosper and our great lakes are in bloom and ready to shine with the upcoming summer season. Let’s enjoy this summer and watch Grand Rapids real estate start climbing that hill to the top and once again show our true colors.
