Here are the things you will need to know if you are planning on selling. So how is the market doing currently in Schaumburg? Here are a few graphs to help give you an idea.What is the percentage of homes that are going under contract each month in Schaumburg? This tells you if the market is flat, going up, or declining based on homes going under contract. It shows you the 'action' that buyers are taking in the market. How many other homes are for sale in Schaumburg? This is called the months of inventory level. The lower the level of homes on the market the better the market is for a seller. Currently, we have been in a seller's market for quite some time. Inventory fluctuates per month and is usually the highest in the spring months. For Schaumburg, the highest selling month was June ...

The Schaumburg housing market is hot! Most homes are selling quickly & even some over list price. If you are interested in how the market is fairing in your subdivision, it would be best to call in an area expert, like me, rather than watch what the news people are saying.It only matters what is happening right in your backyard! The nightly news always tries to encompass the entire U.S. and it just can't be done with any kind of accuracy. This infographic gives what different 'predictors' are saying for the year. Things are looking good for real estate even during this pandemic. The Chicago area overall is fairing very well. Chicago was second in the nation in the largest year-over-year increase in closed transactions at 32.3%. The city was second only to Little Rock, Arkansas, where th...

Came across an interesting survey about home satisfaction during the pandemic. It seems that 44% of homeowners are dissatisfied with their house situation & 34% are more satisfied with it. The most features that homeowners desire in their next home would be:1)  Home gym2)  Home office3)  Gaming space4)  Kitchen space Actually I'm a little surprised about the Kitchen space coming in 4th position. Usually it's right up there with Family Room & the Kitchen being 1 & 2. The survey also offered up where people like to 'hide' during the pandemic.  It's an interesting read from Sears Home Services.

Land shark knocking at your door! I still remember vividly the skit on Saturday Night Live. But in the real estate world, there are plenty of sharks out there to be wary of. Let's just talk about a new group of 'real estate disruptors'.I-BUYERSThey can't wait to turn the real estate market upside down but really, they just want entry into your wallet. I-Buyers are companies that come out & buy your home in any condition but offer a quick close. Most of the time no repairs need to be done by the seller. Seems almost perfect doesn't it?But underneath what is going on? That company is taking advantage of your need for the quick fix. I don't want the hassle is going to come with a price. I can't stand the emotional connection with selling Mom & Dad's house is going to come with a price.It's...

Most people that I talk with are concerned about how COVID-19 is effecting real estate. Will values stay the same? Will they decline?Honestly at this time, I cannot look into my crystal ball & get a clear answer. I can tell you what I have noticed so far with as many numbers or trends as I can gather for you. Before your eyes glaze over when I mention numbers, I'll be sure to explain how they will affect you.Just a disclaimer that real estate is a funny creature. One subdivision or town might be effected harshly & others will be fine. This is the way of the world so this report is a generality.New construction housing starts are still moving along until the interior work needs to be done & social distancing has to take effect. It will delay closings which will cause even more pent up de...
