Crystal Springs home values have stayed pretty level

for the  past year.  Availability of quality homes affects the

market, if few homes are available, it drives prices up and gives 

buyers fewer choices for a quick move.

 

Crystal Springs homes are located on or near Stonewater

Country Club which is now part of Watermark properties.

If you belong to StoneWater CC, you may also play Watermark

Country Club and Sunnybrook Country Club….a great trio of local

courses to challenge your game.  If you would like information

about a Crystal Springs home, please call Terry at: 616-292-7263

affected average sold price yet but we predict it soon will.  As soon as the

spring buying season gets into full gear, quality homes that are listed at

a competitive price shouldn’t last long on the market.  Still seeing a slight

decrease in average sale price, but the range of homes is from $ 18,000 to

$ 437,500 in this Grand Rapids suburban community, with the majority

in the mid-to-lower price ranges.
