There is a very good article in today’s Grand Rapids press that explains how to sell your Grand Rapids real estate market home. Cami Reister explains along with a few Grand Rapids real estate agents, that there is a process that Grand Rapids home sellers most go through to get there home sold.

As I have stated before, we are at the lowest home inventories in Grand Rapids since 2005. Grand Rapids home values have started to creep up. But to sell your home, you have to come to the realization of a few things:

1. Your home has to be ready to show at all times.

2. Have your home in move -in condition….your competition does.

3. Lower the price to sell. Yes, you will loose some hard earned equity….but you will more than make up that deficit when you buy your new and more expensive home.

4. Good offers still have to get through financing and appraisal.

5. Above all, “listen to your Grand Rapids real estate agent.”

Here in western Michigan, we have also had a few down years in real estate values, but not as hard hit as the East side of the state. The greater Grand Rapids area is down about 13 to 19% across the board….but then there is East Grand Rapids.
