Bloomingdale, IL Real Estate News

Wow....It is hard to believe my mother, Karen Sterba-Carby opened up RE/MAX All Pro in Bloomingdale (Carol Stream), Illinois 20 years ago. I remember her lugging around the big real estate book with all the homes that were for sale. Getting new books every 2 weeks with updated listings. Secretaries took hand written messages instead of transfering calls to a voicemail or cell phone. Everyone had there own special key to open lock boxes instead of electronic lock boxes and keycards . Everything was delivered in person instead of by fax or email. The first computer the office had also had a printer that was a "dot matrix". (What is that???) Talk about the "old days". People actually use to sit at their desks and smoke while working. (Now of course our office is a NO SMOKING office) Althou...

A Memorial Day Remembrance program will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the St. Paul Cemetery on Lake Street. The gathering will honor all veterans with flags, taps and a gun salute. Patriotic music will be performed by the Ensemble of the Spirit of Life chorus.                                                        The St Paul Cemetary contains graves from all North America wars going back to the Civel War. The local Boy Scout Troop will place flowers on the soldier's grave sites.

Back on February 1st I did a blog on Lake Michigan Water useage in the Chicago area and the $100 million surplus in the coffers of the Dupage Water Commission. The Chicago Tribune on February 9, in the Metro Section ran a story about the "Dupage Water Rate is Lowered.Pretty Good. Huh! They must have been scared by my blog, you think.Well, if you believe that, I have some vacant land in Florida that I think you should buy. What ever the reason, $40 million is being removed from the reserves and the rate will be reduced to $1.25 per 1,000 gallons, see my blog. As expected, homeowners may not see much, if any, of the cash. Government, national or local, has a difficult time taking their grubby hands off of your money. David Spencer, BrokerMy Blog; web site

 When I first arrived in Bloomingdale, Illinois (north central Dupage County) Lake St. and Bloomingdale Road were two lane streets. Population was around 6,000. When you drove out past Indian Lakes Resort hotel on Schick Rd. ( Mrs. Schick- her maiden name- lives about 3 miles down the road) you had to drive across a creek running across the road. Spring was an adventure. The intersection of Army Trail Rd. (named after the army path on the way to fight the Indian wars from Chicago)                                   and Bloomingdale road was mostly vacant land (now the 6th most busiest intersection in Dupage County). If you needed to shop or needed groceries you had to go to Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, Illinois. To venture south of Army Trail Road on Schmale Rd. (then the location of the last ...

 The Brick Industry Association funded a study by the Urban Planning and Architecture Department of the University of Michigan.  The study found that Brick is Better financially, the 3 pigs never told us that one, when a community requires the use of brick in their building codes. Property values were higher in those communities in the study that had a brick construction requirement in their commercial, municipal, public buildings and residential construction as compared with communities not requiring its use.This is true for Bloomingdale, Illinois where surrounding communities had developments constructed by the same builders. The house in Bloomingdale, when compared with the identical model in nearby communities, sells for 8% to 10% higher price, because Bloomingdale's code requires i...
