Grand Rapids MI Real Estate Market Report Nov 2008 ~ Tamarron Estates in Cascade Township

Tamarron Estates is an upscale suburban development with large

wooded lots, walking access to Thornapple Elementary School and

 the Thornapple River Backwaters.  It is located just off of

Thornapple River Drive and Cascade Road in Cascade Township. 

 The house styles vary from large, comfortable ranches, traditional

 two stories, to contemporary homes.  Many of the homes were built

 in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's, though there is a new street

that has much newer homes on acreage settings.  Some houses close

to and surrounding this development are in the upper price brackets

 in the Grand Rapids real estate market.

MARKET SYNOPSIS: Tamarron homes are selling but not at the prices that

some sellers would like to see. Today's market is accepting homes under

$100.00 a sq ft. This is a price reduction for this area.  As you can see,

most sellers think their homes will sell at $ 140 a sq ft. This isn't happening.

Even the expired listings aren't selling at $ 112.00 a sq ft. If you have to

sell your Tamarron Estates home now, the market place is telling you that

you need to be at $ 100 a sq ft or less to see your home sell.

 

Cascade Township has seen tremendous growth in the last fifty

years, though the growth rate has slowed considerably since 2000. 

 The majority (82%)live in a single family home, and the median

 value is  $220,00.  Household incomes in Cascade Township are the

 highest among surrounding Grand Rapids areas at $ 87,290.  Most

people in Cascade Township prefer to live here because of the quality

housing, safe areas, and quality schools.
