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.

on the market in Tamarron in Cascade Township.

MARKET SYNOPSIS: Tamarron homes are selling but not at the

prices that sellers would like to see. Today’s market is accepting

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 $ 130-150/sq ft.  The two homes that have sold since

January might be distress sales or foreclosed homes. List prices

have been reduced but still not a lot of activity in this area.

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 sold.

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.

Caravelle Village is an established subdivision built in the late 1960’s

and 1970’s just south of Burton Street, east of Kraft Avenue and west

of Cascade Road in Cascade Township.  These Grand Rapids Homes

have the traditional mix of two stories, tri-levels and ranches.  A desirable

place to live with median priced homes, Forest Hills Schools, and close to

28th shopping and restaurants. Originally built by a variety of builders, the

homes here are quality construction in a safe neighborhood and close to

the historic village of Cascade and 28th Street shopping.

MARKET SYNOPSIS: Only 3 homes have sold in Caravelle Village since

January of this year.  The average listed price has dropped about $17K

from last year, but buyers are still reluctant.

This has been a popular area for home buyers, but your home must be

in top notch condition and priced to sell in today’s market.  Note the difference

between average list price/sq ft and average sold price/sq ft above, this tells

the whole story.

Cascade Woods is an established neighborhood of large, executive

style homes in Cascade Township, MI. Most of these homes were

built in the 1960’s and 1970’s, although there are a few newer

homes that were built recently in the area. Close to the village of

Cascade and the Thornapple River, this heavily wooded area has

been a Grand Rapids desired suburban place to live for  decades.

Part of the Forest Hills School District, which draws many families,

there is also the river and it’s picturesque appeal.  The drive down

Thornapple River Drive between Ada and Cascade in the fall is one

of the prettiest drives in the greater Grand Rapids area.

   Cascade Woods Market Report   August 2009

    12 Homes For Sale,  1 Pending,  3 SOLD, 6 Expired

Cascade Woods average price – $239,333

Cascade Woods average $/SqFt – $ 77.54

Cascade Woods average days on market – 148 days

Cascade Woods Expired Listings: 6

 

The Absorption Rate for Cascade Woods Homes is 24 months,

Which means if no new listings come on the market, it will take

24 months to sell the existing inventory.  The average sold price

per SqFt is still 40% of the Active listings Price /SqFt.  This

could reflect foreclosures, short sales, and homes in poor condition

that have sold over the last 4 months.

Or it could be home condition which is slowing the sales of

older homes in this area.  

While the spring market has seen a slight uptick in prices paid

for Cascade Woods homes, the absorption rate is sobering at

24 months, while newer homes are selling briskly.

Today’s buyers do not want to do ANY updates, which includes

painting, new kitchens & baths, and new flooring. If your Cascade

Woods home hasn’t sold, it is probably condition,  which gets

us back to price.  If you don’t want to improve your home, you

won’t get the same price as people who have updated and kept

their home current according to recent trends.

price/sq ft should be similar.  Summer has seen another sale here, but

overpriced homes just aren’t selling no matter where they are located.
