Michigan has laws covering advertising real estate, as many states do.  I recently represented a couple that purchased a builders home.  The advertising hook, "get $10,000.00" when you buy a new home.  Then the ad outlines the "deal".  $8000.00 in first time buyer money and $2000.00 in closing cost money for a total of $10,000.00. My buyer thought they were going to get $2000.00 in closing costs.  I asked the Builders representative about this and he said, "that is only for new construction when the buyer buys the lot not on new homes."  I told the representative your ad does not distinguish between new construction and new home it says we offer  another  $2000.00 toward closing costs for a total of $10,000.00 when you buy a new home.  He says, you'll have to call the home office I am n...

 Caledonia Michigan is a quiet little suburb about 25 miles from Grand Rapids downtown, and about 6 miles from the international Gerald R Ford Airport. Originally a farming community, this growing Grand Rapids suburban area has a wonderful newer school system, a low crime rate, and low air pollution index. If you are considering  relocating to the Grand Rapids or West Michigan Area, Caledonia is a viable option to consider seriously.  We have put together a short video of photos of the Caledonia area.       Westbrook Realty ~ Grand Rapids Real Estate

As we start a new year it is good to review and look back to see if we can learn from the past. So much of the news lately is on the Housing Market and the difficulties that sellers are having through the erosion of prices. Buyers are waiting for the lowest point in the market to buy. Sellers are looking at prices that were higher a year ago to set prices for today.  In some markets we have seen the average price go down while in others the prices has been stable and even risen. How do you make the right decision in this market? I don't think there is a economist or an "expert" in the business that can say with certainty what the market will do in the short run. I have sold Real estate since 1973 and I have seen almost all the cycles in this business.   One thing remains constant - give...
