I have had many requests over the years but this request is one I will remember a long time. I get a call from what seems to be a buyer.  The male voice asks if how much is the sell price of the property? How many acres, does it have building sites, how is the hunting? I asked...would you like to walk the property?  Yes, the caller responds, in an anxious voice.  I am thinking to myself, great!  My next question, are you working with an agent? No...then the voice says, really all I want to do is hunt on the property...who do I get permission from to hunt on it?  It that you?  What's the owner's name, the phone number I can call, where do they live I'll stop by.  I tell the caller, I can't give you that information.  I have an agent for owner agreement to keep his contact information pri...

In Michigan, if you buy from a builders representative it is a good chance these are not licensed Realtors at all.  The company selling the homes many very well have a real estate license but the "representative or counselor that you are discussing the home purchase with may not be a Realtor.  Buyers many times think they will get the "best deal" by negotiating directly with the builders representative.  Let me share the experience of a couple that I met.  They had sold their home after living there 15 years.  The kids have moved out so they wanted to down size.  They decided to check out new homes.  They had never owned a new home so they thought they would treat themselves.  They started with an real estate agent who was a friend and new to the business.  Not an uncommon choice. As th...

As we enter the time of the year when storms can affect our lives being prepared is key to living life and keeping your family safe. Storms can cause issues that we don't normally have to contend with and they always come when least expected. Power Outages is a real problem.  I have always been one to create checklists and prepare for emergencies.  My experiences in Vietnam taught me to control what I can control and prepare for the issues I can't control. So what do you do when the power goes out?  If you are reacting to a power outage you are already to late. Have batteries and flashlights that work.  I have chargeables that plug into outlets.  This allows me to grab one and know it is always ready.  I have wired my home for a generator that can keep my refrigerator and food safe with...

14 miles south west of Grand Rapids is the community of Byron Center MI.  The community, formerly a farming area, is growing and experiencing diversification due to the fact that both Highways 131 and M-6 are in close proximity and offer easy access to Grand Rapids, Lansing, the lakeshore and the east side of the state. The award winning school district of Byron Center Schools serves approximately 3000 students in 6 buildings.  There are 3 K-4th grade buildings, one which houses 5/6th grade students, one for 7/8th grades and one high shool building. A review of real estate market activity from 12/1/08-2/28/09 reveals the following: Copyright 2009  Sondra TenClay, all rights reserved

How do families value homes when the parents have lived in them for decades?  Hopefully they call a professional that has market and neighborhood knowledge!I get a call from a family member that outlines a story of Mom being moved into assisted living.  She is a meer 89 years young and not missing a step!  She has resisted selling the car, resisted adding a couple hearing aids, resisted going into a community that offers meals every day.   According to her son.....she has been a real pill!  Heck she is still very active and stronger than her children.The eldest son...now retired, calls and says we have an offer from one of his nieces.  I get the address, do some preliminary comps, meet the son at the home for a personal tour.  I sold a home four doors away several years ago.  The son te...

I'm amazed at the deals going on in today's market!  I have to tell you of a deal that I heard of this last year, that I will call the Deal of the Century. To understand the foreclosure process in Michigan, please click here  Here's the deal: (Numbers have been rounded and are not exact but close!)A Byron Center home was up in the sheriff's sale.  It was initially on the market for over $700K (nice home!) and it's assessed value was over $300K!!  The mortgage was only $140K.  Now, what should have happened was the bank would normally bid what's owing on the home at the sheriff's sale which was the $140K.  The bank mis-bid at $1.00 and someone bid the home for $2.00.  This was sometime in July.  I'm not sure of the results since there is still that 6 month waiting time that the owner or ...

Byron Center has seen continued growth over the last several years.  This year will be no exception.  The planing department has authorized a new development with constuction estimated to be between 100 to 150 new homes being built in one development alone.  This is a PUD (planned unit development) which, if you have not taken noticed, a new water tower has been built at the corner of 92nd and Eastern.  This water tower is the supply the new home construction needs.  The planned section for the new home construction will also be getting city water and sewer.  So new home construction is not dead, as everyone has been saying.  The normal spring buyer market is just starting to emerge.  More homes new and used than buyer will however put pressure on holding prices down.The new hospital of...

Secure your home before you let strangers in.  Most of us never think about people taking things from our homes.  My knowledge and experiences within the real estate industry and some of the feedback generated by agents, theft is a real issue.  Protect your valuable belongings before you show your home or have an open house.I publish a showing guide that is given to my customers at the time I list their home for sale.  Here are a few basic hints to protect your valuables.Never leave money jars or coin collections in plain site or in obvious places.Never leave valuable jewelry in jewelry boxes.  Where is the first place to look for a family diamond ring?Watches in top drawers.Blank checks or check books.Credit cards and certainly not mail with new unsigned credit cards!Medicines and pres...

 First start off with 154 homes for sale in Byron Center Schools. For the month of February in Byron Center 20 homes for sale expired. 9 Byron Center Homes went pending or a real estate agent found their buyer a home in Byron Center. 2 homes actually closed so the seller sold the home in Byron Center Schools and hopefully the buyer is happy with the new home in Byron Center, MI.  That is only 11 homes homes sold in one month. 11 homes off the market, but 154 other homes for sale in Byron Center Schools.  The average sold price for a home in Byron Center was $250,000.  Way above the average for a Grand Rapids, Michigan home. 154 homes for sale divided by 11 homes means that there is a 14 month supply of homes for sale in Byron Center, Michigan.  That makes it a buyers market in Byron Cen...

I had 24 homes scheduled to view today for a young couple wanting to own a home.  I emailed them yesterday to let them know with the weather forecast that we would not be going out to look at homes for sale on Saturday.  We made a wise choice, because no amount of home looking is worth potentially getting in an accident or going in the ditch.  We had homes in Byron Center, Kentwood, Wyoming and Grandville, all over Kent County, Michigan.Browse AllByronCenterHomes.com for Byron Center, Michigan homes for sale, Byron Center MI Real Estate Agents or real estate agents, plus Byron Center MLS Home Search.
