is $ 111.00;  $ 159.00 for over $ 250K category homes in Forest Hills.

Home inventory is moving a little faster in the higher bracket.

Distressed sales were fewer this year, about 46 homes under $100k

were sold.

 

Good news for Forest Hills home sellers, though prices are rising,

interest rates are still low for buyers.  If you have been waiting for prices to

get back on the upswing, now is the right time to get your home on the market.
