elk grove il real estate: Elk Grove IL Homes - Elk Grove IL Real Estate - Market Update April 2012 - 04/27/12 03:34 PM
Elk Grove IL Homes - Elk Grove IL Real Estate - Housing Market for March 2012 How to describe this market for Elk Grove IL Homes?   We have actually been seeing an improvement for the last 10 months.  It still feels sluggish with extended market times, erratic, and unpredictable both for buyers and sellers.  Interest rates have never been lower with affordability being the best it's ever been.  But buyers are still pensive and definitely not pulling the trigger very fast which then frustrates sellers! The months supply of inventory for Elk Grove IL Homes has been steadily decreasing and has kept our recovery on … (2 comments)

elk grove il real estate: Elk Grove IL Real Estate - Curious about what the housing market is doing? - 10/24/11 07:50 PM
Signs of life in our Elk Grove Village IL Real Estate Market recently.  We are moving ahead and sales have finally reached above the 2010 level of closings. For the 3rd Quarter of 2011 Elk Grove Single Family Homes are 66% above 2010 closings and Elk Grove Multi-Family are 83% over 2010.As of yet there are still no price gains that I can see with the foreclosures still leading the way in current sales. If all goes well, the next trend will be for prices to finally level off and slight increases to begin. This also would depend on how much … (0 comments)

elk grove il real estate: Elk Grove Village Community Profile - 06/15/11 03:39 PM
Originally settled by New England farmers in 1834 and later by German immigrants in 1848, Elk Grove Village flourished along with the crops in its fields. Named for the herds of elk that called the local woodlands home, Elk Grove continued to grow to include commercial enterprises - such as general stores, smithies, creameries and churning houses. In 1868, the first school (Biesterfield School) was built; the building still stands and is used as a private residence.
Elk Grove Village, covering 10 square miles northwest of Chicago in Cook and DuPage Counties, is indeed a great place to live, work and … (3 comments)

Elk Grove Village townhome foreclosures and 'better priced values' are being scooped up the fastest.  Short sales?  Well, they fell terribly 'short' for our area.  From working with my own buyers, short sales offer too many hassles and not enough price rewards for dealing with the banks as a seller.  Dealing with a bank = headaches and massive quantities of Tylenol.There are many great values to be had on the market right now.  The average list price in Elk Grove Village is $145,475 and there are many homes available in the most popular price range of $100,000 to $200,000.  The lowest … (1 comments)

elk grove il real estate: Elk Grove IL Real Estate - Market Update for July & August 2010 - 09/13/10 03:10 PM
Hello, is anybody there?   (long echo ............ crickets)That's what the market has been like here in the Northwest Suburbs for the last 2 months.  It's been very lonely and I'm sure most sellers will agree with me.  No action!  What I've noticed is lots of internet 'shopping and lurking' but no real foot traffic into the homes themselves.  Inventory is UP over last year and in a few instances 2009's sales total have surpassed 2010.  So if we stop for a moment and wonder where the buyers actually are?  (crickets again)  I can't actually say.  But they are lurking.Interest rates are … (4 comments)

elk grove il real estate: Real Estate Professional in Training and YOUR HOME is the Training Ground!! - 08/10/10 10:42 AM
Need a veteran real estate agent?  Local expert that knows the market?  There are advantages to experience that this post points out.
When you interview an agent for the sale of your home or to purchase a new home ask for their resume of experience.  If you don't feel comfortable with the agents (or loan officers) answers, maybe there's a reason like lack of market knowledge and experience?
Honestly, do you want them practicing on you with one of the largest purchases of your life?
