Stop right there and start looking for your new home here!Elk Grove IL townhome and condo foreclosures are 'better priced values' and are being scooped up the fastest.  Thinking that now is the time to make a move?  Interest rates are now the lowest they've ever been.  I know you're saying to yourself 'but you guys told us that last year?'  Well, the interest rates were low then and now they are even LOWER.  Just a few months ago we were quoting an interest rate of 5.125% and now we can say the rate is now at 4.125% which is a full percent less!  What does that mean to you and your wallet?  About a $120 a month savings.  That's your cable bill, maybe gas for the month and just one ticket (sorry) to a Bears Game!There are many great Elk Grove Village values to be had on the market right ...

Originally settled by New England farmers in 1834 and later by German immigrants in 1848, Elk Grove Village flourished along with the crops in its fields. Named for the herds of elk that called the local woodlands home, Elk Grove continued to grow to include commercial enterprises - such as general stores, smithies, creameries and churning houses. In 1868, the first school (Biesterfield School) was built; the building still stands and is used as a private residence.Elk Grove Village, covering 10 square miles northwest of Chicago in Cook and DuPage Counties, is indeed a great place to live, work and own a business. Due to its high-quality park and recreation programs, low crime rate, good schools, diversity of housing, sense of community, and prime location, Elk Grove was named one of th...

Elk Grove Village townhome foreclosures and 'better priced values' are being scooped up the fastest.  Short sales?  Well, they fell terribly 'short' for our area.  From working with my own buyers, short sales offer too many hassles and not enough price rewards for dealing with the banks as a seller.  Dealing with a bank = headaches and massive quantities of Tylenol.There are many great values to be had on the market right now.  The average list price in Elk Grove Village is $145,475 and there are many homes available in the most popular price range of $100,000 to $200,000.  The lowest price for sale right now is $41,200 and the highest is $310,000. Variety, styles and selections in each price range.Looking to buy a Elk Grove Village Townhome and want to work with a buyers agent that's f...

Chefs prefer the $38,000 stove? The Chicago Tribune did an article in the magazine section that talked about the preferences/craves that chefs have for their kitchens.  Jared Wentworth, master chef, said he wanted a La Cornue Chateau Series Oven which I had never heard of before. The company is located outside Paris France and has been making stoves since 1908 and has a distributor here in California. I decided to Google it and here's the non-budget conscious results:A few different models but the ovens start at $38,000 and go down to $17,500 for the penny pinching model.Shouldn't a $38,000 stove come with a horn & windshield wipers?  How many miles per gallon on that thing?

Elk Grove Village IL Homes - Elk Grove IL Real Estate Market Update 2010 How to describe this market for Elk Grove IL Homes?  Unfortunately, up ... down ... all around!Over the final quarter of 2010, inventory for Elk Grove IL Homes was very steady at  11.7 months then down to 10.4 then ending up at 13.1 months.  Where did a large portion of these homes go?  I think that sellers have taken their homes off the market and decided not to move or the sellers have become 'reluctant' landlords in order to continue with their future plans.  The problem is not solved, only postponed to a future date when the lease expires.  There is also another reason that's a little more tragic.  Pre-foreclosures are waiting for the legal process to take place, the property seized, cleaned up and then put on ...

Criteria to Obtain the Best Interest Rate No doubt you're aware that mortgage rates have been low throughout the year. You've also probably heard that this fall has seen interest rates dip to record lows for the modern era. But you may have also heard that some buyers or refinancing homeowners are having difficulty obtaining loans at the lowest advertised rates. The loan application process is much more rigorous than in years past and the processing time for loan applications has grown. How can you know whether or not you realistically qualify for the great rates being advertised? Remember that lenders are all about assessing risk - they are looking for applicants with a very low risk of defaulting on their loan. There are five key factors that a mortgage broker will look at when determ...
