This Windstone Place North Aurora market report covers property sales during all of 2011 as well as a look ahead to 2012. The past year was a mixed year for North Aurora real estate - inventory was high through much of the year and due to this, prices have continued to decline. This is still a foreclosure and short sale driven market and Windstone Place is no exception. We did see some improvement in market activity particularly in the last quarter that we hope will continue through this year. Let's take a look at the numbers:

Here are our home sales for 2011:

$270000 1417 Hearthstone Ln
$285000 1392 Hearthstone Ln


The average sales price in Windstone Place for 2011 was $277,500

There is good news - 2012 already looks like it will be a busy year based on current buyer activity. Inventory remains high in North Aurora but we hope buyer activity will begin to reduce inventory. These are the homes in Windstone Place Subdivision that are currently on the market:

$308000 126 Windstone Place Dr


The average list price for homes currently on the market in Windstone Place is: $308,000

We do expect more sales activity this year in Windstone Place and other North Aurora subdivisions - hope remains high that this additional activity will continue to push the market back into balance. If you are going to buy a home in Windstone Place in 2012 or are thinking of selling a home in Windstone Place I have assembled a market snapshot tool that you will want to bookmark. You can view up-to-date market reports for this subdivision as well as all of North Aurora on my Windstone Place real estate reports page. Another resource I have been working on this year is a community info page for the Windstone Place subdivision. This page combines school statistics with a local map-based business search. On the same easy-to-navigate page, you can research information about area schools, locate the nearest grocery stores or find a good place for dinner near the subdivision by visiting my Windstone Place Community Page. I hope you have found this information informative and always remember that if you need real estate assistance in Windstone Place, North Aurora or another Illinois community, please don't hesitate to call Eric Rogers at (630) 346-1041.

What Every Buyer Needs to Know in 2012

A new House Would Be Something To CelebrateOK....it's officially under way!! 2012 is not just a number for realtors and lenders, but it's a huge opportunity for consumers. But there are so many consumers who are unprepared or who just don't know where to start.

BUYERS...here's what you need to know:

  1. Before you do anything, meet with a licensed loan officer. Yes, that person needs to be licensed. Check out an earlier post Let's work with someone who doesn't have a license......NOT!!!!!!. Before you even meet with the individual, ask if they're licensed. Believe it or not the Fed has said that some folks can lend you hundreds of thousands of dollars at their terms without being licensed. Can you imagine any realtor being allowed to not have a license?
  2. Meet with the loan officer - to determine what's right for your situation. Did you know that FHA has some monster changes for condominiums? Did you know that both Fannie and Freddie are making some very costly changes to the way they price a ton of there loans? How will your income and credit affect the rate that you may or may not be able to get? I just met with a guy and he's getting his credit scores up by the end of January so that he won't be penalized under the new rules. Right now.....TIME IS YOUR ALLY!
  3. Get your income information together. If you're self-employed this is even more critical than for those who aren't. But if you get bonus income, commission income, or whatever, know how the Fed is going to look at your income and that of your spouse if you're buying with one.
  4. Assets - Let's take a look at your asset situation. Cash is not king! If you have money we need to document it. If it's under your mattress or in a safety deposit box, then it's no good! But again, time is your ally! Meet with the licensed loan officer.
  5. Get with a REAL realtor! What does that mean? It means get with someone who's doing this as a profession, not as a side job. Not as someone who's moonlighting to pick up a few extra bucks. After you meet with your licensed loan officer, have them refer you to someone who's known in your community for really working for their clients. They have to be knowledgeable. So many folks work with their neighbor who has a license. That's OK if the realtor is serious about this business and has demonstrated a history of success in this business. If not, run for the hills!

Batavia IL Historic Homes for Sale

Batavia, IL is an excellent location for someone looking for a historic home for sale. Batavia IL is well-known as a family-friendly town located 35 miles west of Chicago. Home to about 27,000 people, Batavia IL is located right on the Fox River.

Batavia IL is known as the “Windmill City” after the windmill manufacturers located here in the late 1800s who manufactured 10,000s of windmills that were shipped across the Great Plains during America’s westward expansion. The Batavia City Hall has a number of restored windmills located in a park along the Fox River, it’s really amazing how large some of these windmills are up close.

Today the downtown area of Batavia is undergoing a significant renovation. The beautiful mansions just west of the river are being restored to their former glory. Homes that were once comfortable bungalows for the working class are affordable starter homes located on quiet tree-lined streets,
