Will a Short Sale Help? I have to Sell my House Quickly! - 08/28/08 03:02 PM
Why Banks do Short Sales
Illinois placed in the top 10 nationally in foreclosure filings for 2007 at 90,782 posted filings.  The 2006 figure was 64,310 which is up dramatically.  The 2007 number represents 1.25% of the total households in Illinois.  The national average is 1.03%.  The good news is that 98.75% of all Illinois households are NOT in foreclosure.
The high foreclosure numbers are causing fewer people to offer up bids at the sheriff's sale.  The large mortgage amounts, along with back taxes, attorney's fees and other liens are making it impractical for third parties to pick up any bargains.  … (0 comments)

What makes a Good Neighborhood? - 08/28/08 01:44 PM
What Makes a Good Neighborhood? When you buy a house, you also invest in the neighborhood that surrounds it. The identity of a neighborhood may be as important to property values as the individual properties themselves. In a “planned community”, strictly controlled architecture governs a carefully crafted identity block after block. In a rural town, tree-lined streets and an old-fashioned town square preserve a disappearing way of life. In a large city, an older neighborhood's ethnic history has shaped its character and often drives its rejuvenation. It's important to know where a neighborhood has been—and where it's going—before you decide to … (0 comments)

First Time Home Buyers – what are they thinking?  Market Survey Results

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 … (0 comments)
