Streamwood IL Homes - Streamwood IL Real Estate - 4th Quarter 2010 Market Report How to describe this market for Streamwood IL Homes?   Sluggish, erratic, and unpredictable both for buyers and sellers. Inventory up, sales down. The months supply of inventory for Streamwood IL Homes has been erratic from 15.7 then down to 8.6 then up to 14.6 months for December.  Where did these homes go?  I think that sellers have taken their homes off the market and decided not to move or the sellers have become 'reluctant' landlords in order to continue with their future plans.  The problem is not solved, only postponed to a future date when the lease expires. Months of inventory or the 'absorption rate' is up 47.7% over 2009. Another thought that's a little more tragic.  Pre-foreclosures are waiting ... 01/27/2011

Northwest Suburban Housing Forecast Inventory slightly up - Sales flat.  That's pretty much how the market has shaped up for 2010.  What is selling is the low end of every price range which will further pull down the average sales prices in the Northwest Suburbs. On updating the graph below over November, all the average sales prices were adjusted downward between $2000 to $4000 except for Elk Grove which stayed the same.Northwest Suburban sales figures have been slight through the last quarter of 2010. The year has unfortunately ended without much applause.  Even with the added advantage of low interest rates, the sales have just not rebounded as hoped.  All these numbers are compared to 2009 so we've had no increases of any kind whether sales totals (number of units vs. 2009) or avera... 01/25/2011

The attached graph shows the Median List Prices and the Median Sold Prices for Streamwood IL Homes.  An interesting feature is the difference between the List Prices and the Sales Prices when the market downturn began.  There was a definite 'disconnect' between what sellers wanted for their homes and what buyers were willing to pay.  As the Streamwood market progressed forward (an unfortunate looking ski slope) to today, we see that the prices are starting to converge upon each other.  Does this mean that buyers and sellers have weathered the 'price chasm' together?  I think so. Both buyers and sellers of Streamwood IL Homes are settling in with the market and taking advantage of the wonderfully low interest rates available.  All I can do is present to you the market as it is 'today'.
