Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Sept 2011

Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Homes Sept 2011

Top Best Buy Forest Hills Homes (Ada-Cascade) for Sale,

based on price per square foot. Price per square foot is a great

leveler, if two homes are compared by square foot pricing, you

get a much better picture of whether the home is overpriced

compared to similarly sized and priced homes.

These homes might need major repair work done, such

as new kitchens and baths, roofs, new plumbing, electrical &

other major mechanicals.  They may have dated decor,  an

odd floor plan, or additions/add-ons that are not what most

people are looking for.

Average sold price is up this month in Forest Hills School District.

If you are willing to do repairs and update a home, there are still some

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 for Sept. 2011.

This list could include properties in Ada Township, Cascade

Township, Grand Rapids Township, Lowell Township, and the

city of Kentwood.

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

prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.
