Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Waterfront Homes Sept 2011

Waterfront homes are in high demand in all areas and in all localities,

proving the old adage: the 3 best things to consider when purchasing

a property are: Location, location, location.  Waterfront homes are

in high demand in all areas and in all localities.  West Michigan is very

fortunate to have many lakes and rivers that make wonderful

year round homes on the waterfront a viable option for many.

 

Current market conditions have brought home prices down

to levels we haven’t seen in about 10 years. Homes at all price

levels and amenities have been affected, as well as interest rates. 

Now is a great time to purchase a Waterfront Home if you have

been considering living on the water in West Michigan.

Forest Hills Michigan Top Best Buy Homes August 2011

Top Best Buy Forest Hills Homes (Ada-Cascade) for Sale,

based on price per square foot. Price per square foot is a great

leveler, if two homes are compared by square foot pricing, you

get a much better picture of what you are paying for or if the

home is overpriced compared to similar homes. 

 

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.
