Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kent County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Kent County has expanded, with active listings up over 5% from last month and more than 6% compared with a year ago, while months of supply has climbed to 2.2 and is up nearly 50% year over year. Contract activity is cooling, as homes sold are down about 8% month over month and nearly 10% annually, and pending sales have dropped almost 14% since last month.
Pricing is holding fairly firm despite the slower pace, with the typical home value up almost 5% from a year ago even after a slight month-to-month dip. Sellers are seeing less of a bidding-war premium, as the share of homes selling above list has fallen more than 20% since August and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just below 100%.
Compared with Michigan overall, Kent County’s values sit notably higher than the state’s median sale price, and local inventory is still tighter than the statewide months of supply. Homes are taking longer to go under contract than they did in midsummer, with median days on market rising from 8 in August to 14 in September, signaling that buyers have more time and leverage while sellers must price precisely. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a knowledgeable local agent who understands this market from both sides.
Kent County offers its residents a dynamic mix of urban amenities, abundant parks and cultural attractions, strong schools, thriving local businesses, and a welcoming, community‑minded spirit.
Kent County combines a strong job market, convenient transportation, and a wide range of neighborhoods, from downtown Grand Rapids to quieter suburban and rural areas. Located along major highways and within easy reach of Gerald R. Ford International Airport, the county suits commuters and frequent travelers who value straightforward access.
Grand Rapids anchors the area with a growing medical and technology corridor, cultural hubs like the Grand Rapids Art Museum, and a nationally recognized food and craft beer scene. Families appreciate resources such as Grand Rapids Public Schools and the extensive programming at the Grand Rapids Public Library. Surrounding communities like Wyoming, Kentwood, and Rockford offer different blends of suburban convenience, established neighborhoods, and newer developments.
Outdoor amenities are a major draw. Residents enjoy the Kent County Parks system, with riverfront trails, regional parks, and year round recreation. Neighborhoods near East Grand Rapids and the Grand River Edges Trail appeal to buyers who prioritize walkability and access to water and green space. Local dining and entertainment clusters around Downtown Grand Rapids, where historic buildings meet modern condos and apartments.
Because each part of Kent County offers a different mix of schools, amenities, and commute times, a local agent can help you compare options, anticipate tradeoffs, and avoid costly missteps. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with professionals who know the county well, reducing stress at every step of the move.

“I bought my first home from Jordyn and he has went above and beyond throughout this whole process. He has been amazing to work with and his honesty and integrity is something hard to come by in a realtor. Never failed to keep me in the loop about things happening behind the scenes and made sure to promptly address and do his best to find a solution for any concerns or issues I had regarding the property prior to and even after purchasing.”
“Ramsey did an outstanding job! He knows the area, showed us a number of homes that fit our budget and preferred location (very important to us). He's a good communicator, very friendly. Knows his stuff. I would definitely use him again.”
“Kelley Di Martino recently assisted us in the purchase of a home in Kalamazoo for our daughter, who has been going through a difficult time, and decided to begin a new chapter in her life. On both the personal and professional level, Kelley was wonderful to work with. She was warm, kind and supportive. She is knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Kelley was an effective liaison between the seller, who had listed their home by owner, our daughter, and my husband and me. Kelley helped to foster a cooperative relationship between all parties. The sellers needed a more flexible closing date, so a provision to remain in the home for up to two weeks past closing was agreed upon. When the need for an expensive but necessary electrical repair turned up in the inspection, the sellers agreed to cover 100% of the estimate that was submitted. Thanks to Kelley’s diligence, the purchase was completed successfully and our daughter is now enjoying her new home. We confidently recommend Kelley Di Martino and plan to use her services for real estate transactions in the future.”
“Doug was a pleasure to work with, selling our old home and buying our new home. His expertise is obvious and negotiation skills exceptional. Low fees too. Highly recommend”
“Eric was incredible as we navigated the entire real estate process. We were selling a house for the first time, as well as buying a new construction house. He explained everything in detail for the processes and made sure to answer any questions we had. When we needed answers from other people, he made sure to track them down or follow up so we could get the information we needed. He was incredible at listening to our needs and making sure we got what we wanted/needed out of both the buying and selling process. We would recommend him a million times over!”
“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!”
“Connor was awesome!! He sold our house in the first week for asking price when the market was very competitive. He really went above and beyond. We had a difficult situation with the buyers that Connor’s knowledge and expertise helped us navigate. I would highly recommend working with him.”
“Traci was wonderful to work with. This was our second time working with her and even though it wasn't our first home purchase it had been a while and Traci was great answering what seemed like all my "new home buyer" questions. Couldn't be happier with the service we got and would NEVER think of going with another agent. Thanks Traci”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better agent as a first time homebuyer! Kevin was knowledgeable and had amazing recommendations of outside services I needed in the process. He was always quick to respond to any questions and without having anything to compare him to, I’m certain he went above and beyond to make this experience great for me!”
“Jacob did an excellent job communicating & walking me through the home-buying process. He expedidited the various tasks needed to make the purchase I wasnt aware of before. Swift response time and easy to ask questions for qualification.”
“Having worked with Jay multiple times, we already knew his expertise, market knowledge, and dedication were second to none, but he continues to raise the bar. He is responsive, incredibly thorough, and always goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly.”
“We got to know Allison during 3 separate transactions over a 3ish year process in Canaidan Lakes. We were lucky enough to build a strong trusting relationship, and found her support and knowledge of the region very important. We will certainly reach out to Allison again, if our real estate itch ever returns!”
“My husband and I had a great experience with Aris! She helped us sell our house and find our new home, and made the whole process so easy. She was always available, helpful, and kept us updated along the way. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and would definitely recommend her!”
“Thomas was absolutely wonderful to work with. He sold my dad’s home quickly and made the entire process so much easier for us. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always on top of everything. He walked us through every step and was always available when we had questions. What I appreciated most was that Thomas is ethical, honest, and truly does the right thing. 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.”
“Very capable. Straight forward. Knows how to buy a home. Knows when to push and when to stand back. She gets to know the person she is working with and can close a deal. I highly recommend her.”
