This is a real estate market newsletter from KMLakeshore, covering the Grand Rapids and Holland areas in West Michigan for September 2026. It is aimed at home buyers, sellers, and anyone interested in local housing trends.
The first section presents a Market Meter and a September Market Pulse, giving specific figures: Grand Rapids has a typical home value of about $311,699 with 568 homes for sale, while Holland's typical home value is around $375,721 with 240 homes for sale. Median list prices and days to pending are also reported.
A second section discusses September real estate trends, noting a more balanced fall market with steady demand but more breathing room for buyers compared to summer. It emphasizes the importance of staying informed on local trends for confident decision-making.
The newsletter then shifts to lifestyle tips for enjoying West Michigan's early fall, including patio ideas like adding throws, outdoor heaters, string lights, and seasonal plants. It also suggests outdoor activities such as visiting Grand Rapids parks, Holland's lakeshore, and local trails.
Finally, the newsletter includes a summary of recent market activity: 28 sold homes, 66 new listings, an average list price of $555k, and an average of 56 days on the market. Contact information for Michelle & Kaitlyn is provided.
