I worked on real estate data from the MLS system and made an easy to understand chart that reflects the Real Estate Market Trends in Skokie IL.

As you analyze the posted data keep in mind that setting the price working closely with your Realtor and recognizing market trends are key to selling your home. 2009 will exceed homes sold in 2008.

 Few Stats from National Association of REALTORS®, 2009

Selling a home is a full-time job. And most of today's buyers are online (nearly 9 of 10 recent buyers used the Internet in their home search), and unrepresented sellers have no access to major online marketing avenues such as REALTOR.com and other sites with large pools of listings to which buyers are attracted.

Just 13% of recent sellers sold their home without professional representation. Only 7% of these sales were on the open market (cases where unrepresented sellers were selling to family, friends and neighbors account for 6 percent of all recent home sale activity).
