Active Listings = 162

From $ 62,900 to $ 2,724,900

Sold Homes = 483

Average Sold price – $308,128

 

Forest Hills home prices are slowly on the rise, while the inventory

of homes is at an all time low.  This is frustrating to buyers, especially

ones who have seen dozens of homes on the market in the past 7-8

years sit for long spells before selling.  If a good home with lots of

updates comes on the market now, buyers are trying to be the first

ones to look, so they can beat out their competition in the buying process.

 

If your home needs updates or repairs, do not expect the above 

scenario to take place.  The home will eventually sell, but not at

full market price it would get if updates were already done.

 

Call Terry if you are interested in buying or selling a Forest Hills home.

He has over 40 years of experience in selling and buying West Michigan

and Forest Hills homes.  If you are a seller, he can provide valued advice

on what to update to get your home sold quickly.
