Forest Hills (Ada Cascade) MI Real Estate Absorption Report

Forest Hills is actually a school district in Ada - Cascade MI. This market

is always active. These Grand Rapids suburban communities have

wonderful neighborhoods, some new and some older with Top Ranked

Forest Hills Public Schools, and private schools, such as Ada Christian

& St Roberts that attract  many home owners.

This report will cover the 2009 real estate market activity, which we have

broken down into 3 separate price categories, which have very different

markets emerging for 2009 totals.
