schaumburg homes: Schaumburg Homes - Size does matter! Real Estate Market Trends
- 02/01/09 05:04 AM
The size of new homes is shrinking for the first time in at least a decade, says USA TODAY. Nearly 9 out of 10 builders are saying they are building or planning smaller homes than in the past. The average size of new homes started in the 3rd quarter of 2008 was 2,438 square feet, down from 2,629 in the 2nd quarter.
How about affordability? These builders are just not getting the fact that nobody can afford these new homes! It is common knowledge in my industry that new construction is always the most expensive but people gravitate toward all the new features that … (0 comments)

- 01/26/09 07:40 AM
To pay or not to pay …. That is the question! William Shakespeare could have done a whole play on how to get a mortgage if they had that sort of thing in his day. So welcome to my posts named ‘Real Estate 101’ where I will try and demystify some of the real estate buzz words!
So let’s begin talking about Mortgage Points!
Pay vs. Add to Principle?
What should my strategy be?
What value will I receive over time if I do pay points? Don’t pay points?
Will they shackle me to a chair and make me … (2 comments)

schaumburg homes: Schaumburg Homes - Schaumburg Illinois Local Market Update - Lyn Sims (847)230-7324 RE/MAX Suburban - Schaumburg IL Real Estate
- 01/19/09 04:00 AM
EVERY REAL ESTATE MARKET IS LOCAL. ASK A SEASONED REALTOR, LIKE LYN SIMS, WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR AREA.
Currently the local real estate market may be your 'best opportunity' market in years! Are you ready to take advantage of it?
Mortgage interest rates are low and prices in Northwest Suburban Illinois are still holding fairly well, generally area prices are flat. NOT EVERYWHERE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE PRICES FALLING.
That's why I'm saying the real estate market is local - it even makes a difference from subdivision to subdivision in every single town! But, over time and the long haul, no investment … (2 comments)

schaumburg homes: Mr. Seller, Why am I good enough to stage your home and give you advice, but not good enough to list it?
- 11/16/08 09:45 AM
Mr. Seller why am I good enough to stage your home and give you advice, but not good enough to list it?
I am very sensitive and empathetic. I ‘feel things' about a situation that a seller might have BEFORE they tell me what is going on at a presentation. But here's a question for all future sellers out there in housing land - What do they expect of an agent and WHY?
I pride myself on being very thorough and presenting the market as it truly is - no sugarcoating for me! Languishing on the market with no action is … (16 comments)

- 10/01/08 07:05 AM
Understanding Agency or 'Who works for who' in a real estate transaction.
It’s important to understand what legal responsibilities your real estate salesperson has to you and to other parties in the transaction. Ask your salesperson to explain what type of agency relationship you have with him or her and with the brokerage company.
Seller's representative (also known as a listing agent or seller's agent). A seller's agent is hired by and represents the seller. All fiduciary duties are owed to the seller. The agency relationship usually is created by a listing contract.
