Home inventory is down for the entire Grand Rapids area, as well

as in Hidden Hills.  There is about 2 months of home inventory

if sales keep up to the last 4 months sales level.  Average price

is still down slightly, though this affected by distress and REO sales.

Listings in good condition and priced correctly are selling well this spring.

Commentary on 2011 Sold prices:  Although 5 of the sold homes

in 2011 were $400K or over, the 3 sales under that figure

drew the average sales price down.  This is happening all over

the nation, distressed properties, foreclosures and short

sales are still driving prices downward, even in popular neighborhoods.

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Waterfront Home is Very Affordable

Grand Rapids Forest Hills Waterfront Home is Very Affordable.

The average sold price in Forest Hills Waterfront homes

today is $325,000, which is based on all home sales in

the last 90 days.  Based on the same criteria, lets track

the Forest Hills Waterfront home average sold price every

month since the first of the year:

  • January 31, it was: $514,000
  • February 28, it was $400,000
  • March 31, it was $450,000
  • April 30, it was  $364,750
  • May 31, it was $342,000
  • June 30, it was: $211,472
  • July 31, it was: $498,300
  • Aug 31, it was $338,642
  • Sept 30, it was $299,950
  • Oct 31, it was $ 308,383

What this looks like is the average sold price has declined 40% since

the beginning of the year.  This may or may not be true for every home,

but prices are not going up yet.

Online today a 15-year fixed loan is being touted at 3.31%, 30 year loan

rate is 4%, as of today. 

The Bottom Line :

If you are considering purchasing a Forest Hills Waterfront home and

if you are going to get a loan, we have not seen a better buying condition

in our area in a very, very long time. Think at least a decade, if not more.
