Maybe you had this house on your list: five bedrooms, hardwood floors, a covered front porch, and the big updates already finished. Or maybe you are a seller wondering what it takes to get a home under contract in today's market.
We were honored to represent the sellers on this listing — as the second team to bring the home to market. Here is how that story unfolded, and how the Veenstra Team, brokered by eXp Realty, can help you next.
How we reset the marketing clock
We were not the first team to list 842 Hall St SE. The sellers reached out to me while the home was still listed with another agent. They had questions, and they were trying to decide how to move forward.
That is exactly when we want you to call. You do not have to wait until every decision is made. If you are in the thinking stage, we can help you sort through the choices in front of you and figure out whether a new plan is the right next step.
The sellers eventually ended that listing. Then we did something that can feel counterintuitive: we let the house sit off the market for about 30 days. That pause created space. It also reset the marketing clock, so when the home came back out, buyers could see it as a fresh listing.
The earlier listing had been on the market for 132 days. It came out at $327,000 and, after five price reductions, was listed at $268,000 when it came off the market. After the pause, we relaunched in mid-October, and the home went under contract in 29 days.
A careful plan before the home went live
Before we relaunched, we started with a conversation and a plan. The sellers had already put real care into the property: fresh paint inside and out, an immaculate presentation, and meaningful updates that included a 2026 house roof, a 2025 garage roof, and heating updated in 2025.
We scheduled professional photography, added virtual staging so buyers could picture furniture in the rooms, and prepared floor plans and a listing video. The goal was simple: help the right buyers see the life this home offers.
What makes this Grand Rapids home stand out
From the front path, buyers saw a blue Cape Cod with a covered porch. Inside, hardwood floors and bright, freshly painted rooms run through approximately 1,596 square feet above grade. Five bedrooms and two full bathrooms give you room to spread out, including two bedrooms on the main floor. A full unfinished basement adds storage, and a detached two-car garage sits behind the home on a 0.13-acre lot.
Central air and a 2025 heating update matter in a Michigan home. The range, refrigerator, washer, and dryer are included. The property has public water and sewer, and it sits in the City of Grand Rapids in Kent County, in the Grand Rapids Public Schools district and the Southeast End neighborhood.
We wrote earlier about the big repairs already done at 842 Hall St SE and about the five bedrooms and the financing options we researched while the home was active. You can also view the listing, now shown as pending.
Hardwood floors and fresh paint helped buyers picture everyday life in this 1910 Grand Rapids home.
How we brought the home to buyers
Once we relaunched the listing in mid-October, we did not stop at the MLS. The home was shared across the major search sites buyers already use. We published blog posts, shared them on social media, and included the home in our newsletter. We also ran additional advertising so people who had already looked at the home would see it again.
Buyers toured the house in person, and others studied it online first. Along the way, we researched financing options that could help an eligible purchaser, including a down payment grant we wrote about while the home was active. Programs and lender offerings change, so if you are shopping now, ask us for our current lender list rather than relying on an older article.

Under contract — and what that means for you
842 Hall St SE is now pending, 29 days after we brought it back to market. We are grateful to the sellers for preparing the home so well, and we are glad a buyer saw a well-cared-for five-bedroom home ready for its next chapter.
If you were hoping for a home like this, the next step is not to give up. Tell us what you need, and we will help you look at homes that fit. Our buyer guide is a useful starting point, and we would rather talk with you while you are still deciding than have you go it alone.
If you are a seller wondering what it takes — or if your home is already on the market and you are not sure how to move forward — you can reach out while you are still thinking it through. A listing plan can include a clear presentation, professional photos, marketing beyond the MLS, and regular communication. You can start with our seller guide, request a home valuation, or read Sarah's story about a recent sale we helped complete. Then let's build a plan for your home.
