hoffman estates il real estate: Hoffman Estates IL Real Estate - What have home prices done? - 02/24/12 02:27 PM
There's been much talk (chatter by the national talking heads) in the media about our Northwest Suburban and Hoffman Estates home values returning to a previous level. I read these reports constantly, day in and day out and wonder to myself 'How do they know this stuff when I don't even know it!'Real estate is unique in that it is very local in nature. In fact, real estate is so unique it can even be broken down further to say that neighborhoods even in the same town will been effected differently. What happens in one subdivision doesn't necessary happen in another. … (14 comments)

hoffman estates il real estate: Hoffman Estates IL Homes - The Mistake Many Sellers Make Relisting In The Spring - 02/03/12 05:36 PM
It's that time of the year again for the 'SPRING MARKET'. Sellers always seem more optimistic about listing their homes at this time of the year but will it really make a difference? What are the chances of their home selling?
It's not only the time of the year that makes a home sell or not sell as this post suggests. Trying the same thing over & over again hoping for a different result is just 'real estate madness'.
Maybe it was you - not the market?
Thanks to Sharon Tara for this great post.  I have featured her many times … (5 comments)

hoffman estates il real estate: Hoffman Estates IL Homes - Should I rent or should I buy? - 12/06/11 04:37 PM
Buying wins!  At least here in our Northwest Suburban Chicago Area. Hoffman Estates home prices and mortgage rates have fallen so far that the monthly cost of owning a home is more affordable than at any point in the past 15 years and is less expensive than renting in a growing number of cities. If you are a buyer why not take advantage of this opportunity? Ok, you're skeptical, here is more ammo that purchasing is a great idea!
But the current Hoffman Estates market situations gives you as a buyer great opportunities that have never been seen before.  Homes that … (4 comments)

hoffman estates il real estate: Hoffman Estates IL Real Estate - What's the market doing now? - 10/24/11 09:17 AM
Signs of life in our Hoffman Estates 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 Hoffman Estates Single Family Homes are 20% above 2010 closings and Hoffman Estates Multi-Family are an amazing 45% 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 … (5 comments)

hoffman estates il real estate: Northwest Suburban Real Estate Update - September 2011 - 10/14/11 01:01 PM
Real Estate Market Update - Northwest Suburban September 2011 It's good news and I'm market optimistic! That's for sales being on an upward trend for the last 6 months.  The numbers are showing a distinct improvement for the 6th month in a row for the Northwest Suburban Market! The majority of towns sales are up.   Even if the town is showing a negative (YOY Change), the sales are increasing each and every month overall.  Most of the average sales prices are still low but that is because most of the lower priced homes are being bought by first-time home buyers … (2 comments)

hoffman estates il real estate: Hoffman Estates Illinois - Village Profile and wide open spaces! - 07/12/11 07:26 PM
Hoffman Estates   has a quiet suburban setting, an abundance of open space and a wide variety of recreational and educational opportunities that make it a great place to live.  Some 35% (approximately 4,000 acres) of land is in forest preserves, parks and golf courses, so open places abound.  So that's 1/3 of the community land dedicated to the preservation of natural ecology and trees. The Forest Preserves are also complemented by the 585 acres of land in uses as parks and recreational areas. Recreational facilities, from racquetball to archery, horseback riding to handball, tennis, golf, boating and fishing are all easily found nearby.

Hoffman Estates 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 Hoffman Estates is $133,612 and there are many homes available in the most popular price range of $50,000 to $99,900.  The lowest price for … (1 comments)

Short Sales for Dummies!  This is a great Short Sale Q & A from an agent in California, Debbie Lynn.  She says it so well in her explanation that I thought I would repost it for your reading.
This is a very complicated and confusing subject where there is so much INCORRECT information on the internet.  You must be sure to hire an agent that is knowledgeable in Short Sales and be represented from an real estate attorney who is also very knowledgeable.  You cannot wing it!  This is a financial strategy that you must compile so one size does not … (3 comments)

How to describe this market for Hoffman Estates IL Homes?  Unbelievable!
