The web home of the week this week is......104 Cedar St, Sandwich IL. Listed for just $70,000 - an unheard of price in Sandwich! Here's the catch - it's a wreck! That's right - this house is not for the timid....not for those purchasing with FHA. The roof is leaking, the property is overgrown, the garage is full of garbage - and it all needs work! This property is only for the experienced rehabber or flipper. It is a bank owned property and the bank is looking for a quick sale. So - take a look, wear a mask (there is water and mold) - and bring us an offer! MLS#06978000 - email me for more photos! 07/29/2008

Sandwich, Illinois is located off Rt. 34 about 15 minutes west of Yorkville, 25 minutes south and west of Aurora.  Sandiwch is a great town - small enough to feel like the hometown's of yesteryear but big enough to have all the modern conveniences you need.  Someone recently asked me about foreclosures in Sandwich - after looking through the MLS I saw four bank owned properties and 5 or 6 pre-foreclosures.SANDWICH SOLD JANUARY - APRIL 2008Detached SingleBedrooms# Sold% SoldAvg LP (Sold)Avg SPSP:LP RatioAvg MT (Sold)Avg LP (Unsold)% ExpdAll17100%$226,788$219,04797%223$00%313100%$216,200$204,83195%209 0%44100%$261,200$265,250102%270 0%Attached SingleBedrooms# Sold% SoldAvg LP (Sold)Avg SPSP:LP RatioAvg MT (Sold)Avg LP (Unsold)% Expd32100%$177,900$176,45099%244 Bo Buchanan, Kettley Realtor... 05/06/2008

The weather certainly cooperated for the townhall meeting held by Alderman Bill McMahon in the Sandy Bluff Dutch Acres Subdivision on Sandwich's northeast side. The residents, with over 50 attendees were allowed to ask questions and voice concerns. They were promised action was gointg to be taken to have the developer finish the sidewalks before fall. The 50 plus attendees were able to meet the developer's representative of the newly proposed subdivision to the north. Moira Lucchetti who is part of the Nottingham Meadows developers team told residents they would probably start building in the spring.

This year will mark the 120th year of the fair. 07/23/2007

I love to eat. Who doesn't. Marsha and I ate out at our favorite local Mexican restaurant last night and it was really good. The Santa Fe is a casual dining atmosphere. They have wonderful margaritas and the dinners all come with rice and beans. They serve homemade chips and salsa mild and hot as an appetizer with your drinks. The meals are not too spicy and the ingredients are always fresh. The servings are large and more than even I can eat. The value was about average with the bill coming to $34. That includes 2 margaritas.  07/23/2007
