Inverness Illinois Real Estate and Home Sales - Market Data 2009The first chart shows the average marketing tine for homes sold in Inverness Illinois. In April there were no sales of either townhomes or single family homes. Both single family homes and townhomes see peaks and troughs. This is caused by the lack of sales, so when only one closing occurs in a month the marketing time for only one property counts. When we see more sales it gets evened out more.The following chart is showing the list price to sales price ratios for both detached and attached homes in Inverness Illinois. Sales price to list price ratios are in the low 90% on average. This is a little lower than in the Barrington area where the mid 90% is being achieved.********************************************************... 10/18/2009

Inverness Illinois is a small town that shares the Palatine and Barrington zip codes. If you are interested in buying a foreclosed home in Inverness there are just a couple of things you should know before you dive in. Collectively there are hundreds of foreclosures in northern Illinois, but if you are very specific about the area you want and about the accommodation you need, please do not expect there to be hundreds for you to choose from. Banks sell foreclosed homes AS-IS most of the time. That means you do not get to negotiate for repairs. Banks generally will not sell to you if you have a home to sell or that needs to close before you can close the purchase. Offers must have either a pre-approval letter or proof of funds letter when we send the offer in. Pre-Qualification letters d... 12/27/2008
