Watermark Residences are a popular place to live

in the Greater Grand Rapids area. The private golf course,

public restaurant, club pool, and public work out facilities

are all nearby and easily accessible.  An additional attraction

is the access of all 3 golf courses owned by the management if

you are a member at any of their courses.

 

Watermark Homes are selling, home inventory

is at a 0-3 month supply, which is typical of the Cascade-

Forest Hills area.

is worth on today’s active market, give Terry a call: 616-292-7263

Ada Woods has seen no sales on the MLS during the first

part of this year.  With only 2 homes for sale, inventory is

low.  Without recent sales, we can’t report how prices have

been affected much less predict for the future.

 

 Perhaps the summer market will heat up and Ada Woods

can reap the benefit of an improved real estate market.

Active Listings – 6

Sold Properties – 0

Average List Price – $ 338,519

 

Hidden Hills area still has houses on the market

but recent activity has heated up.  With 5 pending sales

in the last 2 weeks of May, the inventory may be depleted

quickly considering buyer demand.  Even though prices

are starting to return to pre-recession pricing, buyers are

still reluctant to buy a “project”t house.  They want all

improvements done, and the home to be move-in ready.

 

If you are looking to buy or sell a Hidden Hills home,

please contact  Terry for a market analysis or a list of

recent home listings.  Call 616-292-7263

or email:  terry@terrywestbrook.com

Short inventory of homes in Adacroft Commons, which

is common in the Forest Hills School District.  Prices are on the

road to recovery from the 30-40% decline they saw during the

2007-2012 recession.  Scarcity of homes will eventually drive

prices up, but we aren’t seeing a huge increase.  Prices are inching

up slowly and interest rates are expected to do the same thing.

 

If you are interested in buying or selling an Adacroft Commons home, give

Terry a call at 616-292-7263.

Home sales have rebounded in Tamarron Estates nicely

in the past 18 months.  Buyers are still looking for updated

homes but prices are climbing and inventory is scarce her in

Tamarron, like most of Forest Hills.  Consumers have fewer

choices and less bargaining power than in the recent past.

living.

 

With only one house listed and one selling in Quail Crest,
