I want to thank you for the wonderful results that you helped to bring about in the sale of Mom’s condo.  Your service, availability and attention to detail were very professional.

Both my Mother and myself truly appreciate your help and if anyone asks us who helped us, what Grand Rapids real estate agent did you use to sell, The Sprich Group and Keller Williams will be a easy answer for us.

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.”

The Grand Rapids real estate market is ready for Spring and here is why.

1. The Grand Rapids Real Estate Board is reporting the lowest inventory of homes since 2005.  That is great news for sellers, as they try to sell their home and  buy a new home. As the Grand Rapids real estate market inventory comes down, prices will go up. This not only will help the Grand Rapids real estate market, but will also help help the Grand Rapids economy in general.

2. Interest rates are still very attractive and still near all time lows. This still makes buying a home  in Grand Rapids very affordable.  Remember, for every percentage point that interest rates go up, it is basically like paying an extra 10% for the home you are interested in purchasing.

3. Many Grand Rapids home sellers have been listed for more than a year and sometimes for more than 2 years. They are ready to deal…which makes buying more attractive.

4. With the economy starting to recover, people are starting to feel better about themselves. This then makes buyers and sellers more apt to get out into the Grand Rapids real estate market and get the Grand Rapids home buying or selling process underway.

5. Grand Rapids real estate has been stagnate or in a decline for 4 years plus. To hear that the Grand rapids real estate market is starting to turn around is good news for everyone…..so buyers, get out there and buy. Sellers, get your home priced right, so you can then be one of those Grand Rapids buyers.

6. Springtime is here. The next 5 months are the busiest in Grand Rapids real estate. You want to be priced right if you are a seller and you want to take advantage of the interest rates and great deals if you are a buyer. So contact your Grand rapids real estate agent and start to make it happen.
