John Ball Park questions

What are houses in John Ball Park worth?

The typical John Ball Park home sits around $300,925 as of July 2026, compared with roughly $311,699 across Grand Rapids as a whole. Condition does more to move that number than the address does — two houses on the same John Ball Park block can be tens of thousands apart on the strength of a roof, a furnace and a kitchen.

Is John Ball Park one of the more expensive parts of Grand Rapids?

Of the 10 Grand Rapids neighborhoods we cover, John Ball Park ranks 6 by typical value, with Alger Heights just above it at about $301,532 and Creston just below at $297,712. Those two are the closest points of reference for a John Ball Park house, and they are a better guide than a citywide average that spans the whole range.

Have John Ball Park home values risen?

The typical John Ball Park home has gone from about $234,268 five years ago to $300,925 now, a 28.5% gain. Whether that shows up in your own equity depends on what you paid and what is left on the mortgage.

What does it cost to sell a house in John Ball Park?

On a $300,925 sale, a 6% agent commission is about $18,056 and Michigan transfer tax about $2,589, which the seller pays. A cash sale removes the commission and most cash buyers cover the transfer tax, so that combined $20,644 is the figure to weigh against a lower offer price.

Why do sales fall through in John Ball Park?

Usually the appraisal or the inspection, and at John Ball Park prices both are expensive to get wrong. A valuation that lands even five percent light is a five-figure hole the buyer has to fill in cash or walk away from. Larger homes also give an inspector more to find, and each finding is a fresh negotiation weeks after you accepted. A cash sale settles the number once.
