This graph is a current example of how the Schaumburg Real Estate Market has improved over the last year. There is a lowered percentage of short sales and foreclosures (REO's) within the overall market. Why is this important? The less bottom basement prices we have in the Schaumburg housing market the better. Prices are now on the increase but not as fast as what the media is reporting for some areas of the country. Since all real estate is local, we can only pay attention to what is happening right here in our neighborhoods. All neighborhoods have been effected differently and if you are thinking of selling, we need to approach your homes market value with critical focus. Perhaps for you, it might be a good time to sell!

Assessment notices for Schaumburg Township have been mailed out 8/19/14 so look for that in your mailbox. It's important because if you do not like the assessment and feel that it is incorrect or unjust you have the right to appeal that assessment by September 29, 2014.How to file an appeal is on the Schaumburg Township website. The biggest mistake that I find homeowners make is the thinking 'my house isn't worth this much anymore'. The assessor does not think like a buyer or seller! This is crucial to your success in an appeal. You must leave that mentality behind and fight the assessment using their terms. 'Lack of uniformity' in layman's terms means that your house is being assessed over and above others in that same sized house. A great example is when your neighbor, living in the ... 08/24/2014
