Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Homes in Downtown Grand Rapids are taking longer to sell in this rolling three-month view, with the median days on market at 79 days, up sharply from just 27 days at the end of 2024. This slower pace contrasts with the broader Grand Rapids city market, where homes are generally moving more quickly. Even with the added time on the market, properties are still selling relatively close to asking price, as the average sale-to-list ratio has inched up year over year to about 97.6 percent. Only about 12 percent of homes go under contract within two weeks, suggesting buyers have more time to make decisions than in prior periods.
Pricing has shown modest resilience despite the slower tempo. The typical home value in Downtown Grand Rapids is up around 2.5 percent from a year ago, while the median list price has fallen by roughly 16 percent year over year, giving buyers a bit more room on asking prices. Month-of-supply has risen to 3.4 months, higher than the citywide 2.4 months, pointing to slightly looser conditions locally.
Inventory and sales activity have both cooled compared with last year. Active listings are down about 16 percent year over year, and homes sold over the same rolling three-month window are off by roughly 18 percent. New listings and pending sales are also lower than a year ago, which can limit options even as buyers gain some negotiating leverage. With these mixed signals for pace, pricing, and supply, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate Downtown Grand Rapids today.

“Jim made our home buying process so easy as first-time homebuyers. We couldn’t have had a better experience and we owe it all to Jim. I’d recommend him a thousand times. He is professional, personable, and truly cares for all of his clients. M’Kyleigh made setting up appointments so easy and kept us informed during the process. This is such a great team, they were all so amazing to work with.”

“Eric is such a joy to work with! I made him drive all over the place and look at some strange houses and he did it all with a smile on his face. He'll give it to you straight and was always there to answer questions any time of day. My husband and I are so glad we had Eric at our side along the way of buying and selling!”

We are extremely happy with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!”

“Eryn did a remarkable job helping us relocate from Florida to Southwest Michigan. After several conversations and her knowing what we needed, we flew up to meet her and look at houses. She found the perfect house for us the first day!! Her negotiation skills, knowledge of the market and laws were amazing and helpful. She is a fighter for her clients and does not stop until her clients and herself is satisfied with the whole process.”
Keller Williams Rivertown
“Rick was fantastic to work with. He was great for us because we were using a VA loan and he is very familiar. He really understood what we were looking for and we found the house for us on day 2. He was with us from start to finish and was always flexible especially with our very short timeline.”

“Scott was fantastic to work with and helped us get a great deal in a highly competitive market. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and always made sure we felt confident throughout the process. We especially appreciated that he was never pushy and genuinely focused on helping us find the right house rather than rushing us into a decision. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a realtor.”

“Ally was fantastic in helping us buy our first home. She took the time to explain the entire process and went above and beyond when finding and showing us houses. When we found our house, we trusted her completely to do everything she could to make our offer stand out and she was extremely helpful throughout the inspection & closing process. We cannot be more grateful for the amazing person & realtor that Ally is and would not be living where we are today without her! 5 stars all around!”

“My wife and I couldn’t be more pleased working with Joe as our realtor. He is a model of integrity, incredibly responsive and possesses a wealthy of both knowledge and wisdom. As first time home buyers, the process can be intimidating but Joe demystified it all and helped us feel empowered and comfortable in our decision making. He’s a guru in the GR area; the one house bid we lost, Joe pinpointed the price and structure of the winning bid when giving his recommendation. For the house we did win he actually convinced us to bid less than we were initially going to.”
Keller Williams Grand Rapids North
“Ben did a fantastic job making sure all my questions were answered and giving real feedback on the homes we toured; I never felt like he was trying to convince me to buy. His genuine care for clients is clear, and he had great knowledge throughout the process. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy a home.”

“Thank you Cheri Smith for all the work you have done for us over the years. It's been 10 years since we bought our first house with your help and we closed on our new one today!

Thank you Craig! We love are new home.”
Berkshire Hathaway Michigan Real Estate
“Working with Kristin was wonderful. She immediately put us at ease as she recommended services we would need to get Mom's home ready for sale. She knew what we needed before we even asked the questions. Her expertise was invaluable when it came to the timing of the listing, to the small touches that helped the buyer to see what Mom had loved about this home. Her availability to our family was invaluable. We could not have made a better choice than listing the home with her!”
Fivestar
“I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough. She originally helped me secure a home during an incredibly high-demand market, navigating the complexities of waived inspections and competitive bidding wars with absolute expertise. Ashley is remarkably well-connected within the community; her extensive network provides her with a constant stream of off-market opportunities that most buyers never see. When it came time to sell our home in Plainfield, we wanted to avoid the stress of constant showings. Ashley managed a seamless off-market sale that exceeded our expectations. She then helped us find our perfect new home, patiently walking us through every detail, including the nuances of HOA regulations. Ashley is honest, driven, and a fierce advocate for her clients. If you want a realtor who handles the legwork and refuses to let you be misled, Ashley is the professional you need."”
Bellabay
“Ryan did great! He was quick with responses and worked hard to find the home that best fit us. He went the extra mile in negotiations and really stood by us when we were questioning what to do next. I felt like he always had our best interest in mind and we were both genuinely happy with the work he did for us! I would highly recommend working with Ryan if you are going with 616 Realty.”
