Forest Hills Michigan ~ East-West Village Real Estate Market Report ~ June 2009

The East/West  Village subdivision off  Ada Drive in Ada Township is

a fairly new development. The new housing construction started in 2005

and is still continuing to date. You can buy a resale home or a new home

in this centrally located housing development.  Near both public and

private schools, East Village is also close to  Forest Hills and 28th

Street shopping areas. The Ada Bike or Walking Trail also connects

this area on Ada Drive with the village of Ada, Grand Rapids, and the

village of Cascade.

East Village is also close to the I96 expressway for easy access to many

different parts of our greater Grand Rapids area.  Large, executive style

homes with many amenities and extras are the rule in this neighborhood.

If you would like to start with a brand new house,

this may be the place for you to call home.

Marekt Synopsis: East -West Village Homes are selling, if priced correctly. 

Buyers are paying from $115-160/SqFt on the main floors, which is down from

last summer's prices.  Active listings have lowered their prices about 10%

but the time on the market is increasing.  Demand remains strong for homes

in this market area but buyers will not pay more than the present buying

market dictates.

 

The absorption rate for East -West Village is 4 months, which means

 if no new homes enter the marketplace, it will take 4 months

 for the current home inventory to sell.  This is a great rate for the

Grand Rapids area and most likely is due to the location in Forest Hills

School District and newer construction.
