Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Report Clements Mill Nov 2010

Clements Mill is  a newer home development built by Eastbrook

Construction in the Ada MI area, started in 1999 and completed in

2003. The average home in Clements Mill is a 4 bedroom, though 3 and

5 bedroom homes are also available.  Besides being newer and larger,

most of the appeal is the  proximity of Forest Hills Central Middle &

High Schools, Forest Hills Woodlands 5/6 School, St Roberts & Ada

Christian Schools, and Ada Elementary School, which are all a short

distance away, and all part  of the Forest Hills Schools system, an

award winning school district.

Clements Mill is midway between the Village of Ada and Forest Hills

shopping area at Cascade Road and Forest Hills. This subdivision continues

to be a desired location for local residents to live.

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Real Estate Home Inventory Climbs

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Home Inventory Climbs

This graph shows the housing inventory available in the Forest Hills

School District for the last 14 months. Forest Hills Area has been one of the

strongest markets here in the Grand Rapids region. As you can see, sales

remained strong during the late 2009 and into spring of 2010, with sales

failing to keep up with home inventory in July, supply starts to climb steeply.

Forest Hills MI Home Inventory Chart

The Reasons:

1.) The tax credit that expired at the end of April was a bonus for buyers

that were already searching for housing.  But it doesn’t appear to have

convinced fence sitters to enter into home ownership, regardless of interest

rates that are lower than anything we have seen in over our 37 year career

in real estate.

2.) Traditionally, home ownership in the U.S. has stayed around 62%

of households for many, many years.  When we hit the 2005 height of the

housing bubble, we were at 64%, an all-time high in home ownership.

Unless something changes drastically in our whole system, the same

38% prefer not to own or are unable to purchase a home for various

reasons.

3.) All the people that were holding back during the last 2 years have

decided to enter the market at the same time.  When things start looking

up, or at least not like the end of the world, sellers figure now is the time.

When lots of bodies jump into the pool, it gets crowded.

Mano a Mano Real Estate Advice:

Now is the time to sell your home IF you are ready to price it at or

below the competition AND your home looks as good or better than the

your competition.  Houses are selling, people are moving on with their

lives.  But as illustrated by the chart above, unless you are serious

about marketing your home in this buyer’s market, buyers have lots of

homes to choose from.

The market can change quickly. Contact us for the latest sales

information in your neighborhood so you can make a wise decision

about your real estate investment, whether buying or selling.
