glen ellyn homes for sale: FHA Loan Limits Increase to $410,000 - 03/15/08 02:36 AM
Finally, some good real estate news! Last week, FHA decided to increase the loan limits to $410,000 in DuPage County. This is great news for first time home buyers and people wanting to move from a condo or townhouse into a single family home. According to a HUD news release, “The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will allow HUD’s Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to temporarily increase its loan limits and insure larger mortgages at a more affordable price in high cost areas of the country.”
Unless Congress decides to make these changes permanent, the levels will drop back to their previous … (0 comments)

glen ellyn homes for sale: Glen Ellyn Real Estate - July Homes Sold - 08/07/07 08:19 AM
The average list price to sale price ratio stayed the same this month for Glen Ellyn real estate.  Real estate is holding out at 96% of asking price.  There were 37 homes that sold in Glen Ellyn in July 2007 down from 50 that closed in June.  July tends to be a vacation month, so this dip doesn't surprise me.  I expect the number to go up in August as many families are looking to get settled before the start of school. 
Don't forget to visit Sunset Pool before the end of summer.  The new kids water equipment is really cool!

glen ellyn homes for sale: High End Homes in Glen Ellyn - 08/06/07 04:28 PM
Glen Ellyn is known for its tree lined streets, quaint downtown shopping and beautiful Lake Ellyn.  It's no wonder that this town has drawn people from all walks of life.  There are currently 63 homes in Glen Ellyn listed for over $1,000,000.  Since January 1, 2007 only 13 homes have sold for over a million dollars! 
The average market time for these homes is 452 days.  Don't be too scared by that high number.  A lot of times builders list a home on the market before they even break ground.

glen ellyn homes for sale: The Bigger Picture - Illinois Market Report - 06/27/07 02:07 PM
As we all know, there life outside of DuPage County.  The Illinois Association of REALTORS released a state of the State report on homes sales in Illinois.  Home sales were up 10.9% in May 2007 (14,349 homes sold) compared to the previous month of April (12,932 homes sold).  Illinois defines homes as both single-family and condominiums.
That's the good news.  The unfortunate fact is May 2007 numbers are 18.6% below what they were in May of 2006.  May 2006 saw 17,622 homes sold compared to the 14,349 sold this May.  Wheaton, Illinois homes sales saw similar numbers.
