St. Charles IL Short Sale and Foreclosure Market Report

By
Industry Observer with Swanepoel T3 Group

Even in relatively prosperous communities like St. Charles the housing market is still somewhat troubled by short sales and foreclosures. Since the first of the year there have been a total of 288 closed sales of single family homes in St. Charles. In the first half of this year about 12% of the closed sales were short sales and 11% were bank-owned foreclosures. This means that about 23% of all sales in St. Charles were distress sales, which is considerably below the Chicago metro area average of 40%. 

The median price point for all closed sales is $314,000. While the short sales are pretty evenly spread across all price points, about two-thirds of the foreclosure sales were priced under $250,000. In June there were 50 "regular" closed sales of single family homes, 8 closes of REOs (bank-owned foreclosures, and 4 closed short sales.

I have not done a market update recently but I know that when I do it will show a drastic lack of inventory. Even short sales and REO inventory is way down. I recently did a search in through zip codes of Fremont, Ca. – a city of more than 200,000 – and used typical first time buyer criteria. Surprise! No REOs and No Short Sales! This in an area with sought after schools which drive buyers to compete for the properties that do come on the market.

Looks like your market is doing a great turnaround.  Short sales will now always be with us but your percentages are down.

Good job, Leslie.  We're seeing a decline in REOs while short sales increase, but even short sales are down from their trend through the first 6 months.

Leslie,

Great post.  Informative and educational all in one graph, now all clients need to do is pick up the phone and call you to put some some distressed properties under contract and get them out of the market!

Keep up the good work.
