Forest Hills MI Neighborhood Real Estate Report Hidden Hills Jan – May  2016

By Terry and Bonnie Westbrook

A place to unwind at the end of the day

Quick Snapshot of Hidden Hills Real Estate Activity

Jan 1 through May 31, 2016

Active Listings – 1

Pending Sales – 2

Sold Properties – 4

Average Sold Price – $ 284,250

The Hidden Hills real estate market has had

a fairly busy year so far.  Two pending sales and four

closed sales, with the average sold price rising by over

20% from the same time frame last year.

One of these homes was flipped rather quickly and more

than doubled in price.  This sold price would be at the peak

of home prices in Hidden Hills and would not be the case

for homes that haven’t been completed remodeled.

This also clearly demonstrates that today’s buyers want

an updated home and are willing to pay for it.

If you are considering selling a Hidden Hills home,

please contact  Terry for a market analysis or a list of

recent home sales.  Call 616-292-7263

or email:  terry@terrywestbrook.com

ago.  With only 2 homes on the market currently,

now would be a great time to sell if you have been

sitting on the fence about it.

Tamarron Estates Market Analysis:

With no homes on the market and five homes

sold in the last 5 months, inventory is moving

quickly.

Sold prices vary from $210,00 to $420,000,

so less expensive Tamarron homes, or homes

in aged condition are selling for less.

Average sold price went down $60,000

from mid 2014 prices.  So, yes, your

Tamarron Estates home will sell, but it

might not be what you thought

(hoped) you would get.

An updated home is always more desirable

in any real estate market.  Don’t make the mistake

of over-improving or under-improving your house.

Knowing  your home’s current value will let you

make wise decisions on upgrades and remodeling

dollars spent.

 
If you have a home to sell or would to purchase

in Forest Hills, Terry can answer your questions.

in the past 12 months. Buyers are still looking for updated

homes but prices are climbing and inventory is low in

Tamarron, like most of Forest Hills. Consumers have fewer

choices and less bargaining power than in the recent past.
