The world of real estate is in constant flux, influenced by a myriad of factors from economic trends to policy changes. June 2025 was no exception, and in Grand Rapids, MI, it was very much a seller's market. This post will explore why this was the case, what it means for both buyers and sellers, and how the expert team at The Sprich Group can assist with your real estate needs.

The Stats Tell The Tale

One cannot communicate the situation effectively without engaging with some key statistics. In June 2025, the following notable figures were reported in the Grand Rapids, MI real estate market:

Median Sold Price: Increased by 6% from the previous year, coming in at $280,000 up from $263,000 in June 2024
Days On Market: Decreased by 9%, indicating houses were selling faster. This number decreased from 34 days in June 2024 to 31 days in June 2025
Percentage of Homes Selling Over Asking: This number increased by a whopping 11%, up from 30% in June 2024 to 41% in June 2025

These figures are derived from reputable sources of real estate data, including Realtor.com and Zillow.

What Does This Mean for Buyers?

The climate was challenging, to say the least, for potential homeowners and property investors alike. Increased Median Sold Price means buyers had to fork out more for properties. Combined with homes spending fewer days on the market and more homes selling over their asking price, buyers needed to move faster and bid higher to secure properties.

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

On the other hand, sellers got to enjoy considerable benefits. With high demand and better prices for their houses, they were likely to sell their property faster and for more money, given the increased percentage of homes selling over the asking price.
