SO WHAT'S UP WITH THE REAL ESTATE MARKET? Interested in getting a copy of the best overall market information and real estate sales conditions that I could find recently?  It’s an article from Chicago Magazine’s October Issue "What's your House Worth" that just came out and offers extensive data on each town and neighborhood in the Chicagoland area.   What makes this article important is that it is compiled from the local MLS (MRED) not some of these other hallucinating websites like zillow, yahoo real estate, etc. where they never seem to actually know where their numbers come from.  Accuracy is important to me, it should also be important to you regarding your largest investment - your home. You're probably curious about what is going on in the area marketplace regarding your homes v... 09/25/2008

What Makes a Good Neighborhood?When you buy a house, you also invest in the neighborhood that surrounds it. The identity of a neighborhood may be as important to property values as the individual properties themselves. In a “planned community”, strictly controlled architecture governs a carefully crafted identity block after block. In a rural town, tree-lined streets and an old-fashioned town square preserve a disappearing way of life. In a large city, an older neighborhood's ethnic history has shaped its character and often drives its rejuvenation. It's important to know where a neighborhood has been—and where it's going—before you decide to buy. 1. Start with StatisticsIt's now possible to get valuable neighborhood statistics online. Crime statistics, school scores and demographic inf... 08/22/2008

Now is a great time to buy a home, say the financial gurus at the Wall Street Journal, so GET OFF THAT FENCE!   (Not to mention is just huuuurtsssssssss after awhile!)The Journal calls it a buyers market and offers these suggestions for first-timers getting their feet wet. While their advice is solid, it's not revolutionary, but some potential customers might find it reassuring.   Remember this is a place to live not a stock market investment, they say. Lenders want buyers to spend no more than 28 percent of their gross monthly income on mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and home insurance. Buyers shouldn't count on stretching further because lenders won't approve their loans. Cash... 08/04/2008
