Roselle 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 Roselle is $166,157 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 $45,000 and the highest is $299,900. Variety, styles and selections in each price range. Looking to buy a Roselle Townhome and want to work with a buyers agent that's familiar with the area like th... 06/02/2011

This is another installment (11th) from my guest blogger and Short Sale Attorney, Gary Lundeen. Short Sale Call to Action This is going out to thousands of people in the real estate industry. If you're not angry about how the short sale/REO procedures are being handled, then have a nice day.  This is a call to action to our industry and our Country.  We need to make Washington hear us.  This is not political, this is a common sense approach to a very large endless pit of a problem.  This plan has been sent to every Democrat and every Republican in Congress, several times.  It has been sent to CNBC, MSNBC and FOX.  25 Governors from both parties also have it. Donald Trump now has it, but so do Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Harry Reid.  I urge you to contact your elected representative a... 05/05/2011

Roselle IL Homes - Roselle IL Real Estate Market Update 2010 How to describe this market for Roselle IL Homes?  Unfortunately, up ... down ... all around!Over the final quarter of 2010, inventory for Roselle IL Homes was up substantially to 20.5 then down to 9.7 months then ending up at 12.0.  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 the market again for... 01/25/2011

What's wrong with this picture? Literally?  Notice anything odd for a new listing in January?  Now, you're starting to get it - that's right, where's the snow?  I don't know what's come over everyone in my area recently but more and more new listings actually have leaves on the trees.  What a special listing it is!  None of my listings have a nice green lawn & leafy trees.I can understand putting one summer picture of the great deck & backyard showing how it 'could' look.  But these are the 'main picture'.  It's supposed to represent how the house looks 'today'.   Maybe they are just optimists and can't wait for Spring to arrive?I didn't get the memo but it's just ...... not ..... right.               Sources: MRED 01/19/2011

Making a the Most Out of Small Bathrooms It doesn't take a full remodel or removing walls to open up space in an otherwise small bathroom. Below are some cost-effective methods for making tiny bathrooms feel less closed in. Pedestal Sinks Pedestal sinks are not only stylish - they also eliminate the boxy, space-eating traditional vanities that can close off small bathrooms. Switching from a traditional vanity to a pedestal sink will reduce some storage space in the room, so you may want to install small shelving above the sink or additional towel racks/hooks in the room. Minimalist Storage When space is at a premium, you may not have room for large storage unit or vanity. Keep only what you absolutely need in the bathroom, ideally in a slim vertical storage unit or on built-in shelving.... 12/20/2010
