ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: THE MARKET IS CHANGING... - 10/11/08 08:50 PM
I can feel it.  Can you?  It's almost imperceptible.
The market is starting to change...
Home prices are starting to become affordable.  Buyers are just beginning to get interested.  
Buyers are starting to smell value.
There are values out there.  Not across the board.  But some homes are becoming very well priced.

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: AS IF BY MAGIC, THE LAWN MOWER STARTED - 07/31/08 02:13 PM
Yesterday, I wrote that my schedule had been disrupted by a non starting lawn mower.
At the time, it seemed a crisis to me because mowing the lawn was on my to do list.  I don't like to mess with my to do list.
Well today I went out and, as if … (8 comments)

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: THE FORECLOSURE MARKET IS HEATING UP - 07/29/08 08:37 PM

The banks are starting to price their homes properly and they are selling.  
In the last week alone, two new foreclosures were taken off the market by bargain hunters in subdivisions I watch closely.
One was in River Bend, … (12 comments)

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: BACK FROM BUTLER NATIONAL. MY SCORECARD. - 07/18/08 06:50 PM
It was a hot day out there at Butler National in Oak Brook Illinois.  Hot and humid.
We didn't complain.  The caddies were the ones carrying the bags.
I played fairly well.  For me at least.  My short game was poor.  My longest putt made was 4 feet. 
RUSTY!
I guess … (7 comments)

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: HOLY POOP! THE DOW WAS UP 483 POINTS IN TWO DAYS - 07/17/08 09:18 PM
Does anyone care anymore?
I was involved in financial sales from 1989-2002.  Crazy years to be a stock broker, no doubt.  I have seen some wild things.
I still love the markets.  Supply and demand.  Prices go up.  Prices go down.  Just like real estate.  Love it.
Anyway, I have CNBC … (5 comments)

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: I AM NO SALESMAN... - 07/17/08 08:22 PM
Ok.  We all know it.  I am not a salesman.  But...
I think if a buyer gets spooked easily, they shouldn't be buying.
I just read a post of Valerie Osterhoudt.  She was concerned that a home inspector was spooking her would be buyers.
My comment was:
Hi Valerie.  I think if a … (9 comments)

ken tracy naperville real estate illinois: IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST WE ARE GOING, AS LONG AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD - 06/12/08 10:14 AM
I heard this in a commercial yesterday.  It inspired me, so I thought I would share it.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST WE ARE GOING, AS LONG AS WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
I don't even remember what the commercial was for, but after hearing that line, I laced up my running shoes … (10 comments)
