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 … (7 comments)

What makes a Market Expert?  I’m sure to each of you reading this it would take a different answer.  The dictionary describes an expert as:  ‘having, involving, and displaying special skills or knowledge derived from training or experience.’  With that said, let’s begin talking about the Schaumburg IL Market Place of which I have been part of for the last 20+ years. 
What is going on really?  This post started with trying to update the consumer with numbers that they can both understand and use with regard to area home sales.  With all the bad press that the real estate market … (0 comments)

First Time Home Buyers – what are they thinking?  

As I go thru my email today the familiar Lowe’s real estate newsletter comes into view.  “Survey Reveals Possible Disconnect in First-Time Home Buying Process”.   Hmm … really?   I’m curious as to what buyers are always thinking and read on as to what the survey produced.  I’d thought I would pass it along to you with my comments about the market conditions.  It’s actually quite enlightening!

“First-time home buyers are primarily concerned with affordability when choosing a new home, but their expectations may be too high relative to their … (9 comments)
