Baxter’s rolling three-month data through April 2026 shows notable year-over-year shifts. The typical home value is down more than a quarter compared with a year ago, even as the median list price has climbed nearly 20 percent. Homes are taking far fewer days to sell than last year, while months of supply has risen sharply, easing some of the earlier inventory tightness.
Looking more closely at the latest period, the typical home value sits around $185,000, with a median list price just over $302,000. Homes spend a median of only 5 days on the market, and nearly 60 percent of recent sales closed above the list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 104 percent. Inventory is relatively limited at 11 active listings and 4.9 months of supply, while the number of homes sold over the period has dropped by nearly half year over year.
Compared with the broader Grand Rapids market, Baxter’s typical home value is substantially lower, but it shows more dramatic shifts in both pricing and supply. Grand Rapids overall has seen modest price growth and a leaner 1.4 months of supply, highlighting how local conditions can differ within the same city. With fewer sales, quick market times, and many properties still selling above asking in Baxter, personalized guidance matters. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands these neighborhood-level trends and how to navigate them.

“Hi,it was a great experience working with Jodi. She is very professional realtor. She makes sure that you understand every situation,and process that you face . When it came time to look for houses Jodi got right on it . We started out looking for houses on the East side of the city, and made sure what tipe of house and location where you want to live . It was not an easy task, but after looking at twelve houses it took a lot of energy . We stayed on the look until we got finished. After looking on the East side we started looking on the west side . We looked at nine more houses on the west side. Out of the nine houses on the west side it was one house that caught my eyes. I did fine three houses on the east side, but nether house did not have a driveway. The house that caught me eyes on the west side did have a driveway. When I walked in that house on Sorrento it was everything I was looking for. I told Jodi we did not have to look no further. I put in a bid,and went for it and was.”

I can't be more thankful for crossing paths with Jeremy, and I highly recommend him to anyone who might be selling or purchasing a home in the future.”
