Forest Hills Schools Named Top High Schools in Nation

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Terry & Bonnie

Forest Hills Schools Named Top High Schools in Nation

Forest Hills Eastern, Northern and Central High Schools have been

named top high schools in the nation by Newsweek in a report on

public schools in America. Located east of the city of Grand Rapids,

Forest Hills Public School District is one of the top rated schools in

the state and the nation.

The high schools in the study were judged on college preparedness,

participation in college level classes, advanced placement classes,

international baccalaureate programs, and acceptance into two

and four year college programs.

Although only the high schools were rated in this article, all of

Forest Hills Public Schools strive for academic excellence for

all their students.

If you are considering locating in the Forest Hills District,

give Terry a call. He knows the area well and has sold and closed

countless Forest Hills homes, from starter homes to executive enclaves.

Foreclosures Costly for Neighborhoods & Communities

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Terry & Bonnie

Foreclosures Costly for Neighborhoods & Communities

You might think that a foreclosure or short sale of a home in your

neighborhood doesn’t affect you. It is a shame for those people but what

does it have to do with you? Plenty, it turns out, if you plan on moving

in the next few years. According to the U.S. government’s website about

the National Mortgage Settlement with major banks, it can affect your

bottom line tremendously.

When a house is subject to foreclosure, it creates a ripple effect

that lowers the value of nearby single-family homes and other properties.

In 2009 the Center for Responsible Lending projected that homeowners

living near foreclosed properties, on average, would lose $7,200 in property

value, and projected a four-year increase in losses to $20,300 per household.

No one who owns a home is safe from this reversal of real estate values.

We have seen this play out in wealthy suburbia and lower priced homes, where

it hits financially vulnerable households. Homes that were selling for $100,000

a few years ago are now priced at $80,000 – $60,000, or considerably less.

We have heard that investors are being offered homes grouped in tens in some

areas, that are priced below $10,000 each. The effect on neighborhoods is

sobering. In fact, it traps homeowners in homes that they can’t sell. Their only

options are short sales or foreclosure to get out from under their mortgage on

a home that isn’t worth what they are paying for it.

Because we have been watching this train wreck in our local neighborhoods

for awhile now, we are optimistically awaiting the outcome of the National Mortgage

Settlement. ( see link above) This could bring financial relief to millions of homeowners

by lowering their monthly payments. Many Michigan households that teeter on

the edge of a financial precipice are waiting for relief……….Will they get it?

Definition of Excess = 4.5 Million Teardown

Posted on February 11, 2009 by Terry & Bonnie

People are fascinated by the wealthy and their myriad ways

of spending their money. The press and the media make a

field day of providing this fodder for us to consider. This recent

Grand Rapids Press Article on the demolition of

Lake Macatawa Home of Richard DeVos of Amway is a

typical example of this phenomenon.

This article piqued our interest because of the impression

it gives of the DeVos family and their concerns.

This has to be one of the most expensive tear-downs in our area

—-ever.

The very wealthy have either forgotten or never cared

about the example they are showing the rest of us. In the

present climate of nearly 10% unemployment in Michigan,

this article shows how out of touch the wealthy really are.

We go on appointments every week and speak with people

who are losing their homes because of unemployment,

lowered values, and the poor buyers market.

I wonder if Mr. DeVos talks with people who are in these

situations every day?

Our business is on the forefront of the economic turmoil

this country is facing. The choice of this type of development

in the face of our current situation is puzzling to us.

How would you spend 5-6 million, if you had it?

Would you buy a huge home, a luxury car or boat, take an

expensive vacation??
