\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s great to hear that the housing market is slowly improving but what are you going to believe more; what you hear or what you see?\u00a0 Most people would say that they would like to see actual changes occur like the price of their property improve and to see their real estate actually sell.\u00a0 Well there is actually a fairly nifty tool that can be found at Trulia<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Their site allows you to see a \u201cheat map\u201d<\/strong> of real estate<\/strong> listings in a given area.<\/p>\n

After simply searching Grand Rapids<\/strong> and being provided with the \u201cheat map\u201d we were able to see the areas that are currently selling at higher values.\u00a0 As well, you can see which areas are currently suffering when it comes to sales.<\/p>\n

Strangely enough, the results came back showing that higher end real estate is selling at roughly the same rate the sellers are asking.\u00a0 Selling prices have been matching the asking prices in Heartside-Downtown<\/strong>, Heritage Hill<\/strong>, Michigan Oaks<\/strong> and Ridgemoor<\/strong>.\u00a0 All of which house some pretty nice real estate.<\/p>\n

Now the other cool aspect to Trulia<\/a><\/em>\u2019s<\/strong> maps is that you can even look up real estate listings currently on the market in any given neighborhood<\/strong>.\u00a0 This allows for both buyers and sellers to research information to determine what circumstances will give you the most \u201cbang for your buck\u201d<\/strong> in the housing market.<\/p>\n

If you would like some help or more information about Trulia<\/strong><\/em> or setting up a mortgage if you\u2019re a local buyer then give our certified loan-officers a call at 1-800-555-2098<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
