What's the results of the tax credit with Roselle Home Buyers? I've been waiting to write this update now for quite sometime on Roselle Home Sales and to be honest, it sure is a let down!  Yep, anti-climactic end to the Home Buyers Tax Credit.  Like a sharp object aimed at a balloon, it's a total fizzle (or as Snoop Dogg would say 'a total furrrschnizzle').The graph illustrates sales for single family and multi-family Roselle Homes from January to June 2010.  With all the media hype, I would have expected better numbers.  What I see here is the standard increases that we see every year at this time.  But, one caveat for Roselle Homes is that I believe the tax credit was more valuable to multi-family buyers.  Here we see a surge for the deadline but again this could also because of the t...

This is the 'Months Supply of Inventory' for Roselle IL Single Family Homes for 2009. This number is also called the 'Conversion Rate' or the 'Absorption Rate' which is how long and how much inventory is on the market in that particular town. Obviously, the higher the rate, the longer the market time for homes in that community. Does your agent know the 'Absorption Rate' and will they share that information with you? It shouldn't be kept a secret because it plays a pivotal role in how your home should be marketed. So we obviously have different levels of 'Absorption' in the market and I've tried a new visual demonstration for you. Q tip Rate - nothing much getting sold. Toilet Paper Rate - I think a few Buyers are out there but they are just sitting there and spinning their roll. Empty ...

Roselle Illinois Market Update by Price Range - July, August, September 2009 Diligently trying to keep both buyers and sellers educated on the local Roselle Illinois Home Sales and housing market has been my goal with these regular posts. This market update gives you the number of homes that have sold by price range so you get a feel for the current sales activity.  Which is up giving encouraging news! 35% over the last 3 months!Isn't the $8000 Tax Credit making a difference?  Isn't the lower interest rates making a difference?  Maybe the great values in the area?I honestly can't say the reason for this quarterly upswing but for once it's good news that sales are inching forward. Homes in Illinois have made a 3% increase not seen since March 2006!  Average days on the market for closed ...

Roselle Illinois Closed Home Market Update by Price Range - March 2009 Always trying to keep both buyers and sellers informed on the local Roselle housing market has been my goal for many years. There have been 17 total sales with the lowest price of $150,000 for a 3BR home.  I'm sure you'll agree that's a great deal for Roselle!  Why am I not enthusiastic on the overall sales?  Because the Roselle Market is lagging way behind the sales of other surrounding areas.  Homes in Roselle are not selling as they should be and are down 55% from the 2nd half of 2008. Another market oddity is that there was only 1 sale between the $201,000 to $250,000 price range.  There were more BELOW the $200,000 mark.  No sales at all between $350,000 to $500,000. Out of the 17 sales for 2009 - 3 were marked ...
