noah levy: Budgeting For New Home Expenses - 11/05/11 09:10 AM
Budgeting For New Home Expenses
I've seen it happen with rookies and seasoned home owners alike - buyers determine their budget, get approved for a mortgage, factor in taxes and purchase a home, only to get sticker shock on some big ticket items. There are great real estate deals right now in Highland Park and all over the North Shore, but prospective buyers still need to approach the costs of home ownership with eyes wide open. Here are some of the major expenses that buyers often overlook when budgeting for a home purchase.
Window Treatments - Great natural light is a … (9 comments)

Chicago Botanic Garden located on Chicago's North Shore is one amazing place to visit.

noah levy: Are we in a buyer's market? - 02/12/10 08:55 AM
Are we in a buyer's market?  According to everything I read and everyone who "talks"  Real Estate we are in a buyer's market.  However, based on my own experience this week  I have been pondering this topic.
 
I have been actively working with a young couple to find a home on Chicago's North Shore since October.  We have looked at numerous homes and until last Saturday nothing was even remotely exciting to them.  A week ago Thursday I saw a new listing pop up - it was not everything my clients had on their wish list - but I knew … (4 comments)

noah levy: Short Sale Listing Successfully Closes in Highland Park Illinois - 12/15/09 10:30 AM
A short sale listing successfully closed in Highland Park Illinois last week. We all see a lot of short sales on the market - many are a great opportunity for a buyer- but what exactly is a short sale, and how many actually get approved by the bank and go on to close?
A short sale is a sale of Real Estate in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property's loan.  The major differences between a short sale and a conventional sale are that the bank is actually involved in accepting their loan short and it also … (5 comments)

noah levy: How "Million Dollar Listing" Plays in Highland Park Illinois - 11/25/09 11:12 PM
Who else loves Bravo TV's show "Million Dollar Listing?"  Sure, Los Angeles is about 2000 miles away from my home turf of Highland Park, Illinois, but it's so interesting to see how market highs and lows play out in such different communities.  Much as I love the drama between the real estate agents, I thank my lucky stars that my own relationships with other brokers here on the North Shore of Chicago are infinitely more professional.  What's most interesting about this show is the interaction between agents and clients.  Those relationships are essentially the same, whether you've got LA Chad with … (5 comments)
