selling: A Naperville Short Sale Can be Anything but a Shortcut!
- 01/13/15 03:25 AM
A Naperville Short Sale Can be Anything but a Shortcut! The term “short sale” has been misleading people for decades. Despite the name, it’s a term applied to transactions that often involve a lengthier-than-usual sale process. A Naperville“short sale” is named for the financial aspect of a sale rather than the length of time it requires. It’s anything but a shortcut.
The ‘short’ in ‘short sale’ describes a sale at a price that comes up short—is less than the full amount owed on an Naperville home loan. As you’d guess, whether a bank (or any mortgage holder) accepts such … (0 comments)
selling: Naperville Homeowners Ponder Price Rises In The Coming Year
- 04/21/14 01:40 AM
2014 has already given an encouraging start for Naperville homeowners who consider national price movements as the best pointers for what we can expect for local real estate. Already in February, median house prices were up 7.6% nationally year over year (that according to the US National Housing Trend Report). It followed a similar 8.3% increase in January. The question many Naperville homeowners have is whether this upward movement can be sustained throughout 2014.

selling: Setting Your Naperville Home’s Price—Why More Can Be Less!
- 03/26/14 04:45 AM
When selling your Naperville home, a major home-selling decision arrives right at the start: setting your home’s price. It’s a step that can be decisive for good or for ill. But what is the “right” price? We know what it probably isn’t—it’s not the first number that pops into your head, nor is it likely to be The-Price-of-Your-Next-House-Plus-the Cost-of-a-Family-Vacation-in-Tahiti-Plus-the-New-Sportscar-You’ve-Always-Wanted-to-Own. It’s also not a price that will ‘test the market’ (to make sure there hasn’t been an upward spike in demand since the last comparable neighborhood home sold). Setting a home’s price in the right ballpark can be easier than many people … (0 comments)
selling: Action Plan For Selling A Property In A Bad Neighborhood
- 03/13/14 02:42 AM
This spring, all signs point to our Naperville real estate market being a sizzling hot one. For anyone who will be selling a Naperville home soon, it’s time to take stock of the factors that will influence how attractive (and competitive) their offering will turn out to be. Always near the top of the list is, of course, location: location as geography (how close it is to Naperville’s key shopping, parks and recreation areas) and location as setting (how desirable is the surrounding neighborhood). And when it comes to location, a stubborn fact of life is that selling a property in … (2 comments)
selling: Naperville Listing Activity Gets A Weekend Dose Of Good News
- 03/10/14 04:46 AM
Real estate offices have been gearing up for the imminent spring selling season, the time when Naperville listings swell to meet the expected surge in buying activity. I sometimes put quotes around ‘selling season’ because so many factors go into home sales that it can be slightly misleading—we do sell homes all year long, after all! But there is a lot of truth (and historical verification) to the idea that springtime brings a burst of new Naperville listings and accompanying selling activity. There can be lots of reasons why that happens, but this past weekend, area homeowners who were reading The … (1 comments)
selling: Is Winter the Right Time to be Selling a Naperville Home?
- 02/21/14 01:12 AM
Bears hibernate. Geese fly south. And Naperville home buyers become different people in the winter. During spring and summer months, the competition, speed and market saturation can make selling a home in Naperville an intense experience (in extremes, almost like speed dating!) When the selling season heats up, buyers can come flying through open houses in a veritable revolving door of showings. In the winter, selling a Naperville home is a far more intimate exercise. To make the most of the next few months, it’s useful to recognize some of the hallmarks:

selling: Timing is Key When Deciding Whether to Buy a Home in Naperville
- 02/17/14 12:45 AM
Spring signals the traditional start of real estate’s busy selling season, and while that’s all well and fine, when it comes to making your own momentous personal real estate decision—whether to buy a home or to sell your own—trying to decide exactly when to make the move is easier said than done. It is true that this year national observers are unusually unanimous in expecting that last year’s sales upswing will continue. But if you are deciding whether now is the right time to buy a Naperville home (or list yours for sale), the reasons behind the quickening sales activity … (0 comments)
