Whilst Deer Park has not been immune to foreclosures there are not very many of them.
I have just checked and found only 3 homes available that are now owned by the bank.
There is only one currently reported as a pre-foreclosure.
There is one Bankruptcy Filed and one tax Lien.
I also found on the public records just one house For Sale By Owner. There may of course be more, just not listed on the site I use to get me information.

If you are interested in buying in Deer Park, Selling to save yourself from Foreclosure, or if you are going through a divorce and need expert real estate guidance, call me, these are my specialties and I am here to help.

I have received requests for more information on Deer Park. So here goes.

Deer Park is located in Lake County and forms part of the 60010 zip code but does have it's own village. The village hall is located in the old Vehe Farm off Cuba Rd. The majority of Deer Park is located on the east side of Ela Rd and North of Lake-Cook Road. There is another area west of Ela on the west side of the rail tracks beyond Braemar subdivision..

Deer Park Illinois Market Data.

First I must preface this data by pointing out that some homes listed for sale in Deer Park are tagged as being Barrington. I honestly have no idea why Realtors choose to do this because Deer Park is Deer Park! I lived in Deer Park for 5 years, only leaving when we moved to Florida for a year, and it is such a nice place to live; however because of this data is extracted using homes that were actually listed as Deer Park.

In the last 6 months there have been 23 sales with an average marketing time of 119 days. This is well below the average for the zip code 60010 which comes in at 197. The median price range was $588,109.00

We have 35 homes listed for sale with an average days on market of 237 and an average median list price of $594,900.

When I was actively listing homes for sale (that was only a few days ago since I just recently made a switch) I offered my clients what is commonly known as an "Easy Exit Listing Agreement." Basically, although each of my listings was taken for a full year, I would allow my sellers to cancel at any time with a 15 day notice - and with no cancellation fee.

I rarely had sellers cancel a listing, so I always felt confident in offering them an easy way out. I believe that in many cases I was the chosen agent in part because the sellers didn't have to worry about being locked into a long contract. I understand that there can be a bit of fear on the part of the seller who is entrusting an agent to handle one of their largest financial transactions; what if that agent turned out to be less-than-competent? It is my opinion that as an agent, when you are confident about the level of service you provide, offering an Easy Exit Listing Agreement is no big deal.

As the market started to decline, there was quite a bit of talk around town among agents about the length of listing agreements. Agents were being asked by sellers to take 90 day or 180 day listing agreements and hated feeling under the gun as market times crept up. Many companies started adding cancellation fees (some as high as $1500) to their listing agreements to recoup some of the marketing costs already spent on the listing in the event of cancellation. I don't agree or disagree with the idea of a cancellation fee, except when agents have adopted the strategy that real estate is a numbers game.

I never thought of real estate as a numbers game. I told my potential sellers what they needed to hear instead of what they wanted to hear, and I encouraged them to properly prepare and price their homes for sale. If they were unwilling to work with me as a team, then I wouldn't take the listing. I'd rather have 10 listings I could sell, than 20 listings with only 10 of having the potential to sell. But some agents feel differently. They take on those 20 listings, knowing full well that 10 of them will eventually cancel or expire. They do not offer an Easy Exit Listing Agreement, and they charge a cancellation fee as well. One agent actually boasted about how he "earned" nearly $7000 over the year in cancellation fees alone! Yikes.

There isn't an agent out there that hasn't been burned at one time or another. I've worked my tail off and spent a lot of money promoting listings that later turned into a rental instead. I've had sellers decide not to move at all. I've spend many advertising dollars that I never recouped. It doesn't happen very often, but it does happen in this business. It is part of the risk/reward of earning a commission based income. But it seems to me that some agents out there are using the cancellation fee as simply another way to make money in this business. Do desperate times = desperate agents?

It makes me cringe. What about you? Are you seeing more cancellation fees in your marketplace? How do you feel about them?
