EVERY REAL ESTATE MARKET IS LOCAL.  ASK A SEASONED REALTOR, LIKE LYN SIMS, WHAT'S GOING ON LOCALLY! What if 2008 was the best year to buy real estate and you didn't do it?   This time may be your "best opportunity" market in years!  Mortgage interest rates are low and prices in Northwest Suburban Illinois are still holding fairly well, generally area prices are flat.  The median price home sale in Illinois is actually UP at $198,768*.  The Chicago Median Price for a home is $264,271* which is also UP.  NOT EVERYWHERE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE PRICES FALLING.  That's why I'm saying the real estate market is local - it even makes a difference from subdivision to subdivision in every single town!  But, over time and the long haul, no investment comes close to real estate so now is a great ... 11/01/2008

Streamwood IL Real Estate Market Conditions You know what makes me crazy?  Market graphs that don't tell you what is really going on in the real estate market.  Let me tell you what I've noticed from the local media and alot of my own real estate compadres recently - graphs that point to the past!  Yes we are down from 2006 and 2007 but do you really care if you have to sell your home now?  I am thinking you are reading this post because you want to sell your house NOW - TODAY - OR SOON! BUT CAN YOU?  WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?  So I've decided to talk about what has happened RECENTLY, in the last 6 months of the market.  That is the best 'current time' that I can do.  No sense talking about the past or what market increases you are not experiencing NOW.

Why Banks do Short Sales Illinois placed in the top 10 nationally in foreclosure filings for 2007 at 90,782 posted filings.  The 2006 figure was 64,310 which is up dramatically.  The 2007 number represents 1.25% of the total households in Illinois.  The national average is 1.03%.  The good news is that 98.75% of all Illinois households are NOT in foreclosure. The high foreclosure numbers are causing fewer people to offer up bids at the sheriff's sale.  The large mortgage amounts, along with back taxes, attorney's fees and other liens are making it impractical for third parties to pick up any bargains.  The bank is forced to pick up the property.  These bank owned properties are known as REO's.  The REO properties are later sold, or auctioned at a much greater discounted rate.  Also, onc... 08/28/2008
