Grand Rapids Real Estate Market really starting to heat up!!

I know the news says the housing market is terrible, but there are some very big signs of improvement. Maybe it’s just me, but I am having fun with it!

Interest rates are hitting unheard of rates. Today they are at a 50 year low putting them around 5%!!

Also, new buyers are seeing house prices at the lowest they have been in 10 years, and with $8000 in government stimulus money, this can not be a better time to buy a home.

Yes, it must seem like us Realtors are always saying it’s a great time to buy, but lets be honest, I can’t think of a better situation for a buyer to be in.

Sellers are also doing better! I have helped put together 3 deals in the last week, and all of them have been a win for both the buyers and the sellers.  Last week I helped a buyer make an offer on a listing that attracted 6 offers within 3 days of it being listed, and it is going to sell for 15 thousand over list price! So, if that is not an indication that the Spring Real Estate Market in Grand Rapids is heating up I don’t know what is.

If your thinking of buying or selling let me know as I want to be out there working for you.

Deals are all around us!
