Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report Caravelle Village Jan-June 2015

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report Caravelle Village Jan-June 2015

Caravelle Village 2015 Quick Market Snapshot:

January 1 to June 30, 2015

Active For Sale Homes = 0

Pending Home Sales = 0

Sold Homes = 3

Average Sold Home Price = $ 218,666

Average Sold Price/Sq.Ft = $144.25

Caravelle Village homes are selling very quickly,

like most Forest Hills neighborhoods. Two of these three

homes were newer, less than twenty years old, so the

average sold price is higher than the majority of homes

in this neighborhood, which dates to the 1960’s and 70’s.

If you are considering selling your Caravelle Village home,

please contact Terry for an idea of what your house is worth

on today’s market.

please contact Terry at 616-292-7263.

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Report Tamarron Estates January – June 2015

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Report Tamarron Estates January – June 2015

By Bonnie and Terry Westbrook

Snapshot of Tamarron Estates Real Estate Activity

January 1 through June 25, 2015

Active Listings – 0

Pending Sales – 0

Sold Properties – 5

Avg. Sold Price $ 352,015

Tamarron Estates Market Analysis:

With no homes on the market and five homes

sold in the last 5 months, inventory is moving

quickly.

Sold prices vary from $210,00 to $420,000,

so less expensive Tamarron homes, or homes

in aged condition are selling for less.

Average sold price went down $60,000

from mid 2014 prices. So, yes, your

Tamarron Estates home will sell, but it

might not be what you thought

(hoped) you would get.

An updated home is always more desirable

in any real estate market. Don’t make the mistake

of over-improving or under-improving your house.

Knowing your home’s current value will let you

make wise decisions on upgrades and remodeling

dollars spent.

If you have a home to sell or would to purchase

in Forest Hills, Terry can answer your questions.

Kentwood Michigan Real Estate Market Report October-December 2014

Posted on February 15, 2015 by Terry & Bonnie

Kentwood Michigan Real Estate Market Report October-December 2014

By Terry & Bonnie Westbrook

Kentwood Michigan is a large suburban city southeast of Grand

Rapids, population under 50,000. It has manufacturing, shopping centers,

and lots and lots of residential housing. Kentwood Public Schools are

one of the largest school systems in the Grand Rapids area with over 9000

students and 16 buildings within a 24.25 square mile area.

2014 Real Estate Market Activity October – December

Kentwood Active Listings = 151

From $49,000 to $524,800

Sold Homes = 190

Average Sold Price = $ 138,933

Kentwood homes sold well in the third quarter of 2014,

so well that available inventory doesn’t last long on the

market, if the home is in good condition. Even with the

demand for homes being strong, prices are not increasing

dramatically, though they are inching up slightly as we

head into the pre-Spring market.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a Kentwood home,

don’t wait. Getting a jumpstart on the spring/summer market is

a savvy move for smart sellers and buyers. Don’t wait for the

competition to get ahead of you.
