Forest Hills Michigan Real Estate Market Report ~ Tamarron Estates ~ May 2009

Cascade Neighborhood Absorption Report

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.

homes under $80.00 a sq ft. This is a substantial price reduction for

 this area.  As you  can see, the current sellers think their homes

 will sell at $ 160/sq ft.

Expired listings weren't selling at $ 135/SqFt.  If you have to sell your

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

 need to be under $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.

Ada Michigan Neighborhood Real Estate Market Reports ~ Clements Mill ~ May 2009

Clements Mill is  a newer home development built by Eastbrook

Construction in the Ada MI area, started in 1999 and completed in

2003. Apart from newer homes, part of the appeal is the proximity

of  Forest Hills Central Middle and High Schools, Forest Hills

Woodlands 5/6 School, St Roberts & Ada Christian Schools, which

are within walking distance.

Clements Mill is midway between the Village of Ada and Forest Hills

shopping area at Cascade Road and Forest Hills.

Ada's Clements Mill has seen steady to declining values in the short

time it has been built out.  This is largely due to the current over

abundance of houses for sale in a soft resale market.
