shiloh: O'Fallon IL mid year Real Estate Update - 07/03/09 04:40 PM
 
Well...the first half of 2009 has been interesting to say the least for Real Estate in O'Fallon IL.  The silver lining here is that closed homes are right where they were at this time last year.  No better, but it appears the trend downwards may have slowed down for now.

shiloh: First Time home buyer $8,000 tax credit options! - 06/22/09 08:43 AM
 
Much has been said and changed as of late regarding the $8,000 tax credit and the ability to use it for down payment purposes.  For some clarification and insight, Ryan Luechtefeld has written a very informative article outlining some options.  To read click here Enjoy!
And in other news, if you have noticed an absence of wood sculpture in downtown O'Fallon it is due to the fact the local artist Dave Perez has departed.  I hope you had the opportunity to stop by and visit or pick up a piece of truly unique art.

shiloh: April 2009 Market update for O'Fallon IL - 05/05/09 01:04 PM
O'Fallon IL currently has 271 homes for sale in a wide variety of price ranges and locations.  Inventory is high, prices are reasonable and interest rates are still holding around 5% so now is a fantastic time to buy.  Throw in the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit and things look good. 
April turned out to be a very strong month (all things considered) with a total of 26 homes closing, this compares to 23 homes last month.
Of the 26, 22 were Re-Sale homes with an average sales price of $156,573 and average days on the market of 110.

shiloh: Taxes too high? How to combat it! - 04/06/09 02:25 PM
Got your attention?
Much has been written and discussed about this issue. For that reason I shall keep this short and sweet.
As most of you know property/Real Estate taxes in O'Fallon IL (actually all of  St. Clair County IL) are a bit convoluted.  We constantly get email and phone calls with questions requesting assistance in appealing property taxes.  So let's take a look first at why/if you might have a legitimate appeal. Below are the two most common issues we have been seeing.
•1.)    Is the assessor's value higher than the actual market value of your home?  Or, does the … (2 comments)
