Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011

Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Homes April 2011

Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Forest Hills Homes

(Ada-Cascade) to buy, based on price per square foot.

Price per square foot is a great leveler, if two homes are

priced similarly they should be very comparable in amenities.

 

These homes might need major repair work done, such

as new kitchens and baths, roofs, new plumbing, electrical &

other major mechanicals.  They may have dated decor,  an

odd floor plan, or additions/add-ons that are not what most

people are looking for.

This list could include properties in Ada Township, Cascade

Township, Grand Rapids Township, Lowell Township, and the

city of Kentwood.

Please note: This list can change daily as some homes sell,

prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

7 Sold Homes, 1 Pending Home in Forest Hills District last month

with the majority of activity in Grand Rapids Township.  Only two homes

were in the $100K range, the rest were in $260,000+ category.

Pricing seems to have stabilized in Forest Hills School District.

If you are willing to do repairs and update a home, there are still some

good buys at historically low interest rates, though rates and mortgage

requirements are rising.  The homes in the most up-to-date condition

sell the fastest, as most buyers do not want to do repairs or updates.

 

WARNING: Some of these homes may be bank owned foreclosures,

short sales and not habitable as is or available for a mortgage

in present condition.

Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report Jan-March 2011

Forest Hills is actually a school district in Ada–Cascade  real

Sold – 115

DOM – 106

in this district, the majority of homes are under $400K with the

average sold price at $300K.

 

The Absorption Rate at 4.17 months means that it will take about

4+ months for the current inventory of homes to sell, if selling at the

current rate.  This is considered a normal market. Real estate is

selling in the Forest Hills district.
