carol stream homes for sale: Carol Stream Homes for Sale | Real Estate Market Report for week of Dec. 17-23, 2007 - 12/24/07 01:16 AM
It has been a roller coaster weather week here in Carol Stream. We have had ice, snow, high winds, rain, bitter cold weather and 50 degree weather. This is very similar to the Carol Stream real estate market this year.

There are some great buys out there and interest rates are in your … (0 comments)

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas!!! There is snow on the ground.....it is very cold out!! People are out doing last minute Christmas shopping and from the looks of things, people are busy buying homes too.

It is that time of the year to remember the things we are thankful for. The Carol Stream real estate market has not been as good as it has been in the past years, but we should be thankful that it is not as bad as the coastal real estate markets. Homes are selling and buyers are buying. Patience is the key in this market. Patience, proper pricing and extensive marketing.

carol stream homes for sale: Carol Stream Homes for Sale | RE/MAX All Pro | Market Activity for Week Ending November 11, 2007 - 11/12/07 05:25 AM
If you are a buyer in the market to buy a new home......this is the perfect market for you! With a wide variety of homes on the market, you can have your pick. Sellers know that they will be negotiating their asking price. That doesn't mean they have to give their homes away but you will see more compromises rather than the take it or leave it kind of attitude. Sellers also realize that with as many homes on the market, their homes need to have any issues addressed before being put on the market. Which means....many updates and upgrades for buyers.
Interest rates … (2 comments)

This is a busy time of year for everyone and if people are out there looking at homes it is because they have to.

carol stream homes for sale: Carol Stream, Illinois Homes for Sale and Market Report | Week of October 8-14 - 10/15/07 07:19 AM
The trees are starting to change to those bright and vibrant colors. The nice cool "sweat shirt" weather is here. It is truly one of the most beautiful times of the year.
The Carol Stream real estate market is still slowly moving along. Homes are still selling which is a good sign! Showings will definately be slow but our experience has been that you have more serious buyers instead of the "let's see what's out there" or the "professional looks" as we like to call them in the real estate industry.
We recently showed some homes and one thing that really stuck out was … (0 comments)
