elk grove il real estate: Elk Grove IL Real Estate - Curious about what the housing market is doing? - 10/24/11 12:50 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.

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)

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)
