Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Report Thornapple River Dr/Burger Dr Jan – April 2012

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

Forest Hills Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Report Thornapple River Dr/Burger Dr Jan – April 2012

Quick Snapshot of Thornapple River Dr/Burger Dr Real Estate Activity

January 1 through April 30, 2012

Active Listings – 14 $164,900 to $1,499,999

Pending Sales – 2

Sold Properties – 8

Average Sold Price – $ 230,125

The average sold price has come down about 15% from 2011’s

average sold price. This could be because less expensive homes

are the majority of the market and higher priced homes are

waiting to see if prices start inching back up. So far, 2012 is

behind on sales and average sold price from 2011. Good news for

buyers in this neighborhood, but not sellers waiting to list their

home and break even on a sale.

Forest Hills Real Estate Market Reports

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan – March 2012

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-Dec 2011

Forest Hills is a school district in Ada–Cascade Michigan

real estate market that is always active. This Grand Rapids suburban

community has wonderful neighborhoods, some new and some older

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

a life style that attracts many home owners.

2012 first Quarter real estate market activity.

Under $250,000 Homes:

Forest Hills Current Listings = 144

Average Sale price – $164,911

Average Time on Market = 3-4 months

Average Sold Price/Sq Ft = $ 98.27

Absorption Rate = 2.9 months

$ 250,001 and Up Homes:

Forest Hills Current Listings = 192

Average Sale Price = $ 410,964

Average Time on Market = $2.6 –4 months

Average Sold Price/Sq Ft = $95.31

Absorption Rate = 6.4 months

Home inventory is higher in the upper priced home market and

effects the Absorption Rate, which is double that of the homes under

$ 250K. Prices have dropped across the board but buyer demand is

still sluggish. With the mild winter weather and a head start on spring,

we will see if this effects the local real estate market.

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

He has over 35 years of experience in selling and buying West Michigan

and Forest Hills homes.
