Cascade Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Report ~ Hidden Hills ~ May 2009

Hills School District and has continued through to today. There are new

MARKET SYNOPSIS: Hidden Hills average SOLD home price has

dropped  about $120K and about $30 /SqFt in the last 14 months.

Time on the market has decreased slightly and we have 10 homes

sold since the first of the year.  Prices selling way below 2004 prices

is sobering news for Hidden Hills sellers but solid homes available at

bargain prices for buyers who want the Forest Hills School District.

Sellers:  You can’t get top price if your condition is vintage 1980’s.

Today’s buyers have too many choices to settle for outdated homes.
