Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report East West Village Jan-Dec 2010

The East/West Village subdivision off Ada Drive in Ada Township

is a fairly new development. The new housing construction started in 2005

and is still continuing to date. You can buy a resale home or a new home

in this centrally located housing development. Near both public and

private schools, East Village is also close to Forest Hills and 28th

Street shopping areas. The Ada Bike or Walking Trail also connects

this area on Ada Drive with the village of Ada, Grand Rapids, and the

village of Cascade.

East Village is also close to the I96 expressway for easy access to many

different parts of our greater Grand Rapids area. Large, executive style

homes with many amenities and extras are the rule in this neighborhood.

If you would like to start with a brand new house in Forest Hills,

this may be the place for you to call home.

Market Synopsis: East -West Village Homes are selling for a little

more in 2010 than in 2009, though it is almost 6 months to do so.

The absorption rate for East -West Village is 12 months, which means

if no new homes enter the marketplace, it will take 12 months

for the current home inventory to sell. This is high for the Ada–Forest

Hills area, it reflects the higher prices of the homes and is longer by half

than 2009 sell times for this subdivision. Higher priced homes are slow

movers on today’s market.

Grand Rapids MI Home Seller – Asking More Doesn’t Mean You Will Get More

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Terry & Bonnie

Grand Rapids Michigan Home Seller – Asking More Doesn’t Mean You Will Get More

About one third of homes listed on the Multiple Listing Service do not sell.

They might be over priced, in very poor condition, bad location, a weird

floor plan or some other oddness about them. They will sell at the right price,

which is what we are trying to convey.

The correct price is so crucial to the sale of your home, that if you miss

the mark the first time, you are chasing a downward trend that is very

difficult, if not impossible, to catch.

This can be tricky, as you don’t want to under price the market.

But the market doesn’t hold still, what was a great price a few months

ago is not a great price today. You can’t rely on any market information

over 3-6 months old. You need to know what is happening today.

Example : 440/981 = Days On Market/Total Days On Market

The stats above are for a house in the Grand Rapids market that we saw

on the MLS today. You would think that in almost 33 months on the

market, this homeowner would have realized that their price is not in

line with homes that are selling. Sure, there have been reductions on

this home’s price, but not enough and not soon enough.

Be smart about selling your home. Use a Realtor who can give you the

straight facts, not someone who tells you what you want to hear.

Unless you want to be like the seller above, chasing a downward market

and watching your competition use you as a price comparison.

Should You Listen to Your Realtor or Your Instincts?
