Foto Friday: Warm Winter Wishes….

With a low of 3 degrees last night and high today of 14, here in West

Michigan, winter has arrived at last. We are a hardy bunch and revel in

the winter season. Skis, both downhill and cross country will be dug out

of the basement this weekend. Snowboards, ice skates and sleds will be,

too. Because we know that it will be snow much fun to enjoy the outdoor

winter season in West Michigan.

In fact, Rosa Parks Circle has special events planned for all outdoor

enthusiasts this coming weekend – $1/free ice skating at the rink,

zoo animals, ice sculptures, GR Griffins, food, warming tents, and more!

So warm up your inner child and head on out to the Great Skate in GR

this weekend!

Average Sold Price – $396,500

Commentary on 2011 Sold prices: Although 5 of the sold homes

in 2011 were $400K or over, the 3 sales under that figure

drew the average sales price down. This is happening all over

the nation, distressed properties, foreclosures and short

sales are still driving prices downward, even in popular neighborhoods.
