Bloomingdale Homes - Bloomingdale IL Real Estate Market Update 2010
How to describe this market for Bloomingdale Homes? Unfortunately, up ... down ... all around!
Over the final quarter of 2010, inventory for Bloomingdale Homes was at 12.1 then up to 18.6 months then ending again at 12.1. Where did a large portion of these homes go? I think that sellers have taken their homes off the market and decided not to move or the sellers have become 'reluctant' landlords in order to continue with their future plans. The problem is not solved, only postponed to a future date when the lease expires.
There is also another reason that's a little more tragic. Pre-foreclosures are waiting for the legal process to take place, the property seized, cleaned up and then put on the market again for sale. This hidden part of our market is called 'shadow inventory'.

Real estate is very unique with a possible 60 day lag time between contract and actual closing. So you could see in current pending statistics whether activity has increased or decreased. With the numbers shown, the pending sales for Bloomingdale Homes are increasing.
Interest rates are still low coupled with great prices and values, buyers should be out in droves to take advantage of this opportunity. Move-up buyers have been wanting to move up to a larger home and also take advantage of the interest rates and great prices. Just one problem - they can't sell their current home. Same conditions for people that want to down size.
