Roselle Illinois Homes - Northern DuPage County Market Summary

Northern DuPage County Market Summary

I have been following along with interest over the last few months the Chicago Tribune and the ‘Price Pulse’ real estate sales snapshot.  This article in particular is for comparisons of August thru October 2008 and August thru October 2007.   This is for my areas and communities that I cover in DuPage County only.

It mentions changes in median housing prices either an increase, no change (or no sales), or a decrease.  Now let’s go over what a median house price is – ½ the homes sold for more and ½ the homes sold for less.

Bartlett          ▼    $253,000*

Bloomingdale    ▲    $254,500

Carol Stream    ▼    $228,500

Glendale Heights    ▲    $180,000

Hanover Park    ▼    $190,000*

Itasca    ▼    $261,500

Medinah    ▼    $295,000

Roselle    ▲    $230,000*

St. Charles    ▼    $217,750

West Chicago    ▼    $204,000

Wood Dale    ▼    $253,500

This just gives you a casual idea of what is going on in the real estate market of your particular community.  I think it offers much better information on market trends than a website like Zillow where they try and give your home a ‘free Zestimate’.  Notice that the words ‘guess and estimate’ are blended together for nothing more than a computer generated guess.  You might also ask your Ouija Board or Magic 8 Ball for the same answers.

If you are thinking of selling your home soon or purchasing a home in these areas, please give me a call for an up-to-date market evaluation of your home.   I have all the current MLS data at my finger tips.
