Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report – Quail Crest Jan-Dec 2010

The Quail Crest Condo development is located west of Spaulding

and north of Burton Street in Cascade Township. There is an

development was started in the late 1980′s and continued building

into the current phase.

The condos are spacious with cathedral ceilings and many have

finished lower levels with extra bedrooms and baths. This area

has been very attractive for retirees, as they are close to all the

local amenities and shopping but no house maintenance.

Forest Hills Public Schools are the school district,

a short distance away.  The miles of Cascade-Ada Bike/Walking Trail

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report – Cascade Woods Jan- Dec 2010

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report – Cascade Woods Jan-Dec 2010

Cascade Woods is an established neighborhood of large, executive

style homes in Cascade Township, MI. Most of these homes were

built in the 1960′s and 1970′s, although there are a few newer

homes that were built recently in the area. Close to the village of

Cascade and the Thornapple  River, this heavily wooded area has

been a Grand Rapids desired suburban place to live for  decades.

 

Part of the Forest Hills Public School District, which draws many

families, there is also the river and it’s picturesque appeal.  The

drive down Thornapple River Drive between Ada and Cascade in

the fall is one of the prettiest drives in the greater Grand Rapids area.

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

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

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.

 

Grand Rapids MI home

 

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?

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Forest Hills is actually a school district in Ada–Cascade MI real

estate market that is always active. These 2 Grand Rapids suburban

communities have wonderful neighborhoods, some new and some older

with Top Ranked Forest Hills Public Schools, and private schools,

such as Ada Christian & St Roberts that attract  many home owners.

This report will cover the 2010 real estate market activity.

ar122417327049208 Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan–Dec 2009

Forest Hills MI 2010 Market Report:

Active Listings – 403

Median Sold Price – $ 219,975

Pending – 68

Sold – 589

DOM – 64

% Sale Price to List Price – 95.38%

Absorption Rate: 7.3 Months

Please bear in mind that this report is all about averages.

It will probably take a $700K home longer to sell than one listed

at $199K.  Even though there are many multi-million dollar homes

in this district, the majority of homes are under $400K and with the

median sold price under $220K, you can see where all the activity

is centered.

The Absorption Rate at 7.3 months means that it will take about 7

months for the current inventory of homes to sell, if selling at the

current rate.  This is still a Buyer’s Market and until the shadow

inventory is dealt with, looks like it will be for quite some time. 

If you are thinking about selling your home, waiting will only

see more homes come on the market [spring season & pending

foreclosures] which will force prices further downward.  Experts tell

us that a market like we had in 2005-2006 is probably 10+ years away.
