schaumburg townhomes: Schaumburg Townhomes - What type of financing are buyers using? - 05/27/10 11:28 AM
There has been much confusion lately it seems on the advantages and exclusive use of FHA financing and I wanted to check & see what is going on in our area.  As all real estate is local, let's see what is going on just in Schaumburg Townhomes.  What I found was actually quite eye opening as what the media spin would like us to believe and what is actually closing are two different things.  Two good financing posts recently are very conflicting.  John Mulkey, did a post on the major use of FHA financing from the head of FHA.  There are worries … (0 comments)

schaumburg townhomes: Schaumburg Homes - It might be a bumpy ride back, here are the statistics! - 09/03/09 05:16 AM
What's going on with the market? This post is for single family and multi-family sales for Schaumburg IL over the last few months.  Just for my own curiosity I decided to do this post because it seems that the market has slowed way down to a crawl.  In fact, it seems like it's a ghost town out there.  Hello, hello wherever you are?There are many buyers out there that are still shopping but not making any decisions as of yet.  But why?  Interest rates are still stable and have not shown any signs of going on the increase.  So why the … (0 comments)

Dunbar Lakes in Schaumburg Illinois has completed construction (August 2009) of its new pool and the residents of the townhome and quad homes have expressed their approval by enjoying the pool in record numbers.

schaumburg townhomes: Briar Pointe - Who's in charge of these board members? - 07/09/09 06:18 AM
When your association has run amok or who's in charge of your condo board?
Here's another great example of an association that's got too much time on their hands and not enough common sense.  This is a new ruling going into effect regarding signage when you sell your home yourself or thru a real estate company.  Well I see a problem if you are tucked back in the subdivision where you can't use more than one sign at your nearest street corner.
Let's take an example of Gary Court - you can only have a sign on the corner of Grove & Gary. … (0 comments)

What makes a Market Expert?  I’m sure to each of you reading this it would take a different answer.  The dictionary describes an expert as:  ‘having, involving, and displaying special skills or knowledge derived from training or experience.’  With that said, let’s begin talking about the Schaumburg IL Market Place of which I have been part of for the last 20+ years. 
What is going on really?  This post started with trying to update the consumer with numbers that they can both understand and use with regard to area home sales.  With all the bad press that the real estate market … (0 comments)
