Lowell Michigan Top Best Buy Homes – June 2010

We have listed the TOP Best Lowell Michigan Houses

to buy, based on price per square foot. Price per square foot

is a great leveler. If two similar homes are listed at similar

prices, their price per square foot should be similar.

The price should reflect the interior finish of the home.

For example, if it has crystal chandeliers, marble tile, & a

new kitchen, this would be more per square foot than

a home that still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in derelict

condition.

The total square footage is noted here, although only the

main floors are used to figure price per square foot.

Great opportunities to buy a Lowell Home at bargain prices:

The lowest price/Sq Ft range from $31.94 to $74.70

in Lowell Top Best Buy Homes this month.

With everyone pushing Social Media- Facebook, Twitter, Blogging... it makes me wonder where YouTube comes into play, or any video/virtual tour for that matter.

Because it seems the younger generation is so mobile and so visual, I think videos are really where it's at for the future of getting conversion, starting with an online view->to an email->to an appointment->to a showing->to a contract...and maybe even a purchase agreement.

Here's a link to a video that's been created for one of my current listings. I'd love for some feedback from other agents for input on whether you think 1)this is an effective video, and 2)is there enough information?

Lowell is small city on the Flat River just east of Ada & Grand Rapids.

In fact, it takes us about fifteen minutes to drive there, which we do quite

often.

accessible, free parking, there is bleacher seating or bring your own chair.
