I have been a full time Realtor for 25 years, serving Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Streamwood, Roselle, Bartlett, Hanover Park, Barrington, South Barrington, Barrington Hills, Elk Grove, Carol Stream, Elgin, Dundee, Wayne and surrounding areas with professional service.

Some home prices are below the bottom, so they move quick.
Some are priced about right to move sometime this year.
Some are too high and need to be adjusted to find the excited buyer that wants it.
Very generally speaking, I think Algonquin, Barrington, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Roselle, Streamwood, Bartlett, Elgin, Dundee and the Chicago Northwest suburbs are bouncing along the bottom of the declines.
Markets are very localized, so some economist or Realtor from another state may not be the best advisor.
Each piece of real estate and home is unique, as is the way they are staged, shown and maintained.
We have been very busy recently and the economy is showing positive signs.
Tax credits, low rates, Springtime and great homes at great prices are all helping the good economic news.

Short sale incentive program begins April 5. The Obama Administration's Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) takes effect April 5. HAFA, will help homeowners who are unable to retain their home under the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), by providing incentives for short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure rather than foreclosure.

This program will help many Chicagoland homeowners, homebuyers, homesellers and Realtors.
