Methodology & data sources
Asking prices and medians
There are 286 active for-sale and 266 active for-lease listings in Grand Rapids, MI. The medians are based on 126 of the for-sale and 204 of the for-lease listings, those that state a price or rent per square foot. These are ASKING figures from live listings, not closed-transaction prices, and a figure resting on fewer than 10 listings says so where it is quoted.
Vacancy rates
Published per-sector market series, taken at the metro level where one exists and otherwise at the Census-region level — a chart reading "in <region> region" is a regional number, not this city's.
Refresh
The monthly aggregates close at the end of the previous month, so 31 October 2026 — not today — is the honest last update.
Known limitations
office vacancy is reported at Midwest region level, industrial vacancy is reported at Midwest region level, multifamily vacancy is reported at Midwest region level and asking prices run materially above recent closed pricing.
Coverage
Metrics below the 10-observation threshold fall back one geographic level. The geography used is named on each figure.
