Let's get to those Northwest Suburban real estate questions!  What's been happening in our current real estate market? What's trending? The housing inventory is now the highest it has been since the recession started. In our area 3 times more listings come on the market than closings. Competition continues to be a factor in our Midwest market as we have not recovered as quickly as other larger markets. Our Northwest Suburban market is still considered a 'balanced market' but competition will become more relevant over the next few months. Inventory has increased 15% in March alone. And those Prices?  Prices have increased slightly over March and increased from 2014. The indicators are showing that the prices will continue to increase but only marginally. Our market is considered balanced... 04/18/2015

Did you know that your real estate agent might not be able to do their job? That's right. One of the most important tools that an agent can use is their lockbox entry card & many agents in our Northwest Suburban area feel the need to 'scrimp' on job related necessities. Effectively they are not being able to get into your home to show it. Surpised? Don't be. I am going to say that a good quarter of the area's agents cannot show your home readily & easily. To me this is just ridiculous behavior. It's like being a cab driver & saying that you don't have a car. It's Superman without the tights. It's just not efficient or effective business practice for a Realtor®.  How do you know if your agent is financially able to stay in the business?  Ask them if they have a lockbox card right up fron... 02/21/2015

This is the place to get those Northwest Suburban real estate questions answered!What does 2015 have in store for our real estate market? First off, the housing inventory is now the highest it has been since the recession started. More people are now trying to sell their homes so that will benefit sellers where the market is booming but a detriment to those where the market has not yet quite recovered. Competition is a major market factor with prices increasing in other large national markets & a detractor for a Midwest market like ours. We have just not recovered as quickly as other national markets.   Our Northwest Suburban inventory level has increased slowly every month since October without fail. We are still in a 'balanced market' but competition will become more relevant over the... 02/11/2015
