schaumburg illinois real estate: Schaumburg Homes - What's the market like in September 2010? - 10/04/10 03:21 PM
How to describe this market for Schaumburg Homes?  Unbelievable! A now retired agent in my office used to say this to encompass every conceivable change or option and still stay positive!  I'm going to loudly reiterate that phrase to update you on recent Schaumburg Home sales.Over the last 3 months, inventory for Schaumburg Homes is down substantially from 14 to 9 months.  Where did these homes go?  I think that sellers have taken their homes off the market and decided not to move or the sellers have become 'reluctant' landlords in order to continue with their future plans.  The problem is not … (0 comments)

schaumburg illinois real estate: The Dangers of an Unreasonable Asking Price - 06/03/10 10:09 AM
The Dangers of an Unreasonable Asking Price One of the most common and costly mistakes made by sellers is setting an unrealistically high asking price. Every seller wants to receive the highest closing price possible for their house, but losing sight of fair market value can have serious repercussions.In some cases a lack of objectivity results in overpricing the home, other sellers may subscribe to the theory that pricing high initially leaves room to negotiate lower later. Overpricing from the outset could actually force you to end up settling for a lower price than you would have received by setting a … (12 comments)

schaumburg illinois real estate: What The For Sale By Owners Don't Understand - 07/28/09 03:19 PM
This is an interesting post from Gary Woltal a top producing Realtor from Texas on the finer points of selling your home 'For Sale By Owner'.  When you hire a Realtor you hire a complete 'package' in getting your home sold.  It's the 'package' that gets your home sold not just one component of 'a buyer' or the 'MLS'.  Just like your car, it runs more efficiently when all the parts are working together, not taken apart.
If you are thinking of selling your home in the Schaumburg Illinois Area, please call me so we can discuss the best 'package' for your … (0 comments)

schaumburg illinois real estate: Schaumburg Homes - Schaumburg Illinois Local Market Update - Lyn Sims (847)230-7324 RE/MAX Suburban - Schaumburg IL Real Estate - 01/19/09 12:00 PM
EVERY REAL ESTATE MARKET IS LOCAL.  ASK A SEASONED REALTOR, LIKE LYN SIMS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR AREA.
Currently the local real estate market may be your 'best opportunity' market in years!  Are you ready to take advantage of it?
Mortgage interest rates are low and prices in Northwest Suburban Illinois are still holding fairly well, generally area prices are flat.  NOT EVERYWHERE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE PRICES FALLING.  
That's why I'm saying the real estate market is local - it even makes a difference from subdivision to subdivision in every single town!  But, over time and the long haul, no investment … (2 comments)

schaumburg illinois real estate: Autumn Ridge - Schaumburg Illinois Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Schaumburg IL - 12/07/08 03:57 PM
Autumn Ridge  is considered one of the more upscale townhome communities in Schaumburg first developed in 1990 by Town and Country Builders.   When I first visited the subdivision many years ago it impressed with the brick exteriors and it offered a ranch model which was in buyer demand but never built by most builders.  For extras and unique points we have:   vaulted ceilings, full wall brick fireplaces, end unit upgrades, 1st floor Familyrooms, palladium windows, lunette windows, catwalk landing, whirlpools, skylites.  Another rarity at the time was that it also offered basements and buyer favored 2 car garages.
Autumn Ridge has … (1 comments)
