Streamwood IL Homes - What types of financing was used? While the Blog Dog and I were investigating the total sales for each property type on Streamwood IL Homes we noticed a few striking differences between Streamwood single family homes and multi-family home sales.

Types of financing that buyers use have different criteria and variables that sellers must pay attention too. On FHA purchases the home must have minimum standards to protect the buyer from unknown future mechanical breakdowns. When the appraisal is done on these properties the appraisers … (3 comments)

Northwest Suburban Housing Forecast Inventory up - Sales down. (that's what you said last month Lyn!
