Minding my own real estate business when out of the blue came an email from Zillow telling me my Schaumburg Market Area here in Northwest Chicago had decreased 5.3% and had I been aware of it?  WHAT?  CUMON!

schaumburg il real estate: What's YOUR Main Reason for Wanting to Move? 15 Reasons People Sell their Schaumburg Area Home - 05/13/08 12:48 PM
Need a Reason to Sell Your Home? 
American home owners sell and move, on average, every five to seven years.  Why do they move?  People who have lived in the same home for the past 30 years have a hard time understanding this phenomena. They are shocked that people move so often, but I know one thing for certain: Their day to sell and move will come as well.
Here are the top 15 reasons why people sell and move:
1) Home is too small.   First-time home buyers often outgrow their "starter" homes.  Increased family size is the main reason … (1 comments)

schaumburg il real estate: Why Now is a Smart Time to Buy, Lyn Sims (847)230-7324 RE/MAX Suburban - 03/18/08 07:16 AM
Now is a great time to buy a home, say the financial gurus at the Wall Street Journal.The Journal calls it a buyers market and offers these suggestions for first-timers getting their feet wet. While their advice is solid, it's not revolutionary, but some potential customers might find it reassuring.Remember this is a place to live not a stock market investment, they say.

Buyers shouldn't count on stretching further because lenders won't approve their loans.Cash is king.  … (1 comments)
