Schaumburg Area Home Sales for July 2018

By
Real Estate Agent

How is the real estate market doing so far in 2018?

For July, how are prices doing?  Remember that every subdivision and town is responding differently if and 'when' a home in the area goes on the market. Sellers are now pretty happy with prices or have decided that now is a good time to move.  Maybe you are also thinking of moving?

schaumburg area home salesOur real estate market is still considered a sellers market but inventory has increased over the last month by 9%.  It's too early for the winter market slow down so don't worry.

If your home is currently on the market for 30 days or more, buyers have given you feedback on your condition, price, or your location.

 

With inventory this low there is no reason not to get an offer but buyers are not going to pay your price if you've got too much work or deferred maintenance.  They will gravitate towards another home with a better price or more updates for that price. Buyers want the house with the least amount of work! I see & hear it every time I show property.

Sellers have to look at the market as if it's a sports competition, Lyn Sims ... because you're absolutely right, it is competitive out there and buyers will not give serious thought to a home in poor shape or dirty and cluttered. 

Great news that the inventory has seen that % of increase ... keeping my fingers crossed that it's a positive trend in that respect ...
