West Village has one home for sale currently,

and 4 homes have sold so far in 2016. The average

sale price is pretty stable and hasn’t changed much

for the last two years. This is a newer built development,

therefore,  homes have retained their value to consumers.

 

West Village has upper bracket home prices

in the Forest Hills area, averaging around 500K.

It remains a very popular location, close to

schools, shopping, and expressways to the Greater

Grand Rapids.

Active Listings = 6

Pending Sold Properties =  2

Sold Properties = 9               

 Average Sold Price = $ 332,440

Average Sold Price /Sq. Ft = $ 189

 

Clements Mill homes continue to see fast turnover

activity, with 9 sold homes for the late summer, early fall market.

Prices are edging up, about 5%, especially for larger, updated homes.

Buyers continue to desire move in condition, so be aware that

worn surfaces and tired decor will not sell your home for

top dollar.

 

Home inventory is very low with demand still high

for this Forest Hills neighborhood real estate market.

Fall usually brings a slower market, but we aren’t seeing

that take effect yet.

active listings for buyers to choose, though there is a wide price margin.

Pending Sold Properties =  4

Sold Properties = 7               

 Average Sold Price = $ 312,000

Average Sold Price /Sq. Ft = $ 167

 

Clements Mill homes continue to be a hot market area

in Forest Hills.  The average sold price and the average

sold price per square foot have both dropped since the

first of the year.  Two of the seven sold homes are condos, which

are in the $200,000 price range, rather than the $300,00 range

seen in Clements Mill larger homes.

 

Buyers are paying more for move-in ready condition,

so be aware if you are thinking of selling your home soon.  

Updated kitchens and baths continue to be the hot buttons

that will make your home more appealing.  We have a few

more months before winter’s chill cools down the real estate

market here in Michigan, enough time to relocate into the

home or neighborhood of your dreams.

 

If you would like more information about a Clement Mills

home listing, or would like to sell your Clements Mills home,

please contact Terry at 616-292-7263.
