Market Synopsis: Adacroft Commons Homes are selling,

though  sales activity has slowed considerably.  Sold prices are

slightly lower than last year.  The key is “Home Condition”.  If you

still have the 1980’s and 90’s kitchen, baths, and decor, you aren’t

going to attract today’s buyer.  Savvy buyers today want upgrades,

current amenities, and no home repairs to do after closing.

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report – Cascade Woods Jan- Dec 2010

Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report – Cascade Woods Jan-Dec 2010

Cascade Woods is an established neighborhood of large, executive

style homes in Cascade Township, MI. Most of these homes were

built in the 1960′s and 1970′s, although there are a few newer

homes that were built recently in the area. Close to the village of

Cascade and the Thornapple  River, this heavily wooded area has

been a Grand Rapids desired suburban place to live for  decades.

 

Part of the Forest Hills Public School District, which draws many

families, there is also the river and it’s picturesque appeal.  The

drive down Thornapple River Drive between Ada and Cascade in

the fall is one of the prettiest drives in the greater Grand Rapids area.

Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report East-West Village Jan-Dec 2010

Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report East West Village Jan-Dec 2010

The East/West Village subdivision off  Ada Drive in Ada Township

is a fairly new development. The new housing construction started in 2005

and is still continuing to date. You can buy a resale home or a new home

in this centrally located housing development.  Near both public and

private schools, East Village is also close to  Forest Hills and 28th

Street shopping areas. The Ada Bike or Walking Trail also connects

this area on Ada Drive with the village of Ada, Grand Rapids, and the

village of Cascade.

East Village is also close to the I96 expressway for easy access to many

different parts of our greater Grand Rapids area.  Large, executive style

homes with many amenities and extras are the rule in this neighborhood.

If you would like to start with a brand new house in Forest Hills,

this may be the place for you to call home.

Market Synopsis: East -West Village Homes are selling for a little

more in 2010 than in 2009, though it is almost 6 months to do so.

The absorption rate for East -West Village is 12 months, which means

if no new homes enter the marketplace, it will take 12 months

for the current home inventory to sell.  This is  high for the Ada–Forest

Hills area, it reflects the higher prices of the homes and is longer by half

than 2009 sell times for this subdivision.  Higher priced homes are slow

movers on today’s market.

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2010

Forest Hills is actually a school district in Ada–Cascade MI real

estate market that is always active. These 2 Grand Rapids suburban

communities have wonderful neighborhoods, some new and some older

with Top Ranked Forest Hills Public Schools, and private schools,

such as Ada Christian & St Roberts that attract  many home owners.

This report will cover the 2010 real estate market activity.

ar122417327049208 Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan–Dec 2009

Forest Hills MI 2010 Market Report:

Active Listings – 403

Median Sold Price – $ 219,975

Pending – 68

Sold – 589

DOM – 64

% Sale Price to List Price – 95.38%

Absorption Rate: 7.3 Months

Please bear in mind that this report is all about averages.

It will probably take a $700K home longer to sell than one listed

at $199K.  Even though there are many multi-million dollar homes

in this district, the majority of homes are under $400K and with the

median sold price under $220K, you can see where all the activity

is centered.

The Absorption Rate at 7.3 months means that it will take about 7

months for the current inventory of homes to sell, if selling at the

current rate.  This is still a Buyer’s Market and until the shadow

inventory is dealt with, looks like it will be for quite some time. 

If you are thinking about selling your home, waiting will only

see more homes come on the market [spring season & pending

foreclosures] which will force prices further downward.  Experts tell

us that a market like we had in 2005-2006 is probably 10+ years away.

2003. The average home in Clements Mill is a 4 bedroom, though 3 and

distance away, and all part  of the Forest Hills Schools system, an

award winning school district.

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Real Estate Home Inventory Climbs

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Home Inventory Climbs

This graph shows the housing inventory available in the Forest Hills

School District for the last 14 months. Forest Hills Area has been one of the

strongest markets here in the Grand Rapids region. As you can see, sales

remained strong during the late 2009 and into spring of 2010, with sales

failing to keep up with home inventory in July, supply starts to climb steeply.

Forest Hills MI Home Inventory Chart

The Reasons:

1.) The tax credit that expired at the end of April was a bonus for buyers

that were already searching for housing.  But it doesn’t appear to have

convinced fence sitters to enter into home ownership, regardless of interest

rates that are lower than anything we have seen in over our 37 year career

in real estate.

2.) Traditionally, home ownership in the U.S. has stayed around 62%

of households for many, many years.  When we hit the 2005 height of the

housing bubble, we were at 64%, an all-time high in home ownership.

Unless something changes drastically in our whole system, the same

38% prefer not to own or are unable to purchase a home for various

reasons.

3.) All the people that were holding back during the last 2 years have

decided to enter the market at the same time.  When things start looking

up, or at least not like the end of the world, sellers figure now is the time.

When lots of bodies jump into the pool, it gets crowded.

Mano a Mano Real Estate Advice:

Now is the time to sell your home IF you are ready to price it at or

below the competition AND your home looks as good or better than the

your competition.  Houses are selling, people are moving on with their

lives.  But as illustrated by the chart above, unless you are serious

about marketing your home in this buyer’s market, buyers have lots of

homes to choose from.

The market can change quickly. Contact us for the latest sales

information in your neighborhood so you can make a wise decision

about your real estate investment, whether buying or selling.

Ada Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Report

Clements Mill April 2010

Clements Mill is  a newer home development built by Eastbrook

Construction in the Ada MI area, started in 1999 and completed in

2003. Apart from newer homes, part of the appeal is the proximity

of  Forest Hills Central Middle and High Schools, Forest Hills

Woodlands 5/6 School, St Roberts & Ada Christian Schools, which

are a short distance away.

Clements Mill is midway between the Village of Ada and Forest Hills

shopping area at Cascade Road and Forest Hills.

Ada’s Clements Mill has seen steady to declining values in the short

time it has been built out.  This is largely due to the current housing

economy where all area homes have suffered a decline in value. This

subdivision continues to be a desired location for local residents.
