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.

126 pending or sold homes for the last month in Forest Hills School District.

There are fewer homes for sale, also.  If you are willing to do repairs and

updates, there are still a few good buys at historically low interest rates.

The homes in the most up-to-date condition sell the fastest, as most buyers

do not want to do any repairs or updates.  Distressed homes are

fewer and home prices are on the rise in Forest Hills at the close of 2011.

 

Please note: This list can change daily as some homes sell,

prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Grand Rapids Michigan November 2011 Sales Stats

Grand Rapids Michigan November 2011 Sales Stats

The November home sales statistics are in and the news looks good.

Sales are up in November across the board in all price ranges.

The price range that has seen the most activity is $100,00 – $ 139,999;

almost 1 in 5 homes sold in November 2011 were in this price category,

with overall highs ranging over $1 million and lows under $ 19,000.

 

Grand_rapids_home

The Grand Rapids housing market has 24.6% fewer listings year-to-date

than last year.  This means shrinking inventory for buyers and good news for

sellers. 

 

The Average Home Sales Price is up from 2010 by about 3%; from $ 118,217

to $121,920.  In our opinion, this increase is caused by the REO’s and foreclosure

sales numbers are down and more banks are embracing short sales.

 

Please note these prices are averages for the whole Grand Rapids market.

If you would like to know what prices are in your neighborhood, give Terry a call.

Forest Hills Michigan Waterfront Homes Dec 2011

Forest Hills Michigan Waterfront Homes Dec 2011

Many people searching for a waterfront home will be planning

on actually buying in the spring, so they can enjoy the waterfront all

summer.  If you want to get the best price and the best selection,

you need to consider an off-season purchase. 

 

Thornapple River Kent County Michigan

Winter is an excellent time to buy a waterfront home in Forest Hills, MI.

Not only will you have fewer competitors looking for that perfect home,

you will also have the leisure to negotiate.  And do a little redecorating or

altering the home to fit your needs, once you are an owner.  This gives

you ample time to be ready for the busy summer season when you just

want to sit back enjoy your Forest Hills Michigan waterfront home.
