Good News for Grand Rapids!!

Good News for Grand Rapids!!

It seems we’re on an upward trend according to CNN Money. We’re in the list of the top ten cities for fastest growth in the real estate market. To me (and you) hopefully that’s great news. With the medical industry influx it’s my personal opinion the prices will restore to the levels that they were in years past.

When is another situation all unto itself. As we all know real estate is cyclical anywhere we may live. We have to be able to roll with the punches. I’ve been in the business for over 22 years and I’ve seen these trends come and go. I can honestly say I’ve never seen the housing market (here) dip so low but hopefully we will bottom out soon. The equity in most people’s homes where their savings for numerous reasons. Gone were the days that most homes here had so much equity you could tap into it for a various amount of reasons (education, home improvements and such).

We need to think positive and hope that this market will start with an upswing and people can keep their jobs and stop losing their homes. We all have to make an effort to hang in there and keep the faith.
