Always trying to keep both buyers and sellers informed on the local Schaumburg housing market has been my goal for many years.
This market update gives you graphs of homes that have sold by price range so you get a feel for the current sales activity. Which is up by the way!
How can you use this information if you are a buyer? The price range that you are thinking of purchasing in, is it one of the more active price areas of the market? It would be ideal if it was.
How can this information help a seller? If you are planning on selling your home soon, you can see which price ranges are the most active. Clearly the price range above $500,000 has been very slow and very few sales have occurred. You might have to plan accordingly for extra market time. As a seller you have to be sure that your home is ‘spot on’ in a market like this. Some extra updates and staging might be required before you put your home on the market.

"T.E.A. PARTY" as in Taxed Enough Already!
I'm not a nut job - stop making me out to be one!
I'm not a radical wacko - stop making me out to be one!
I am definitely not a right wing extremist trying to make trouble - stop making me out to be one!
What I am tired of is politics as usual! So my little flag and I decided to attend the Tax Day Tea Party in 
one of the Chicago suburbs of Lisle, IL on April 15th, 2009. All those attending were just your regular middle class suburbanites who love their country but are tired of the politics, especially the politicians themselves and the constant burden of taxes, taxes and more taxes.
A lot of great people showed up - large, small or tall. Veterans, young, old, some in colonial garb and ladies with tea bag earrings. Some in wheelchairs and walked with canes. Considering where they made us park, I was impressed with their being able to make it to the park without as much as a complaint. They carried flags and were proud to be there and to take part.
I was really surprised to arrive home and not find a lot of media coverage over the event and what was mentioned on the boob-tube made it a ‘non-event'. Tell that to the 1000 people or so that showed up with their flags, posters and general good humor!
The event was attended by speakers Lisle Mayor Joe Broda, Dr. Steven Sauerberg, Rob Fiulio, Joe Kaiker, Michael Tams, and IL State Rep. Michael Connelly. Sandy Rios from WYLL AM 1160 radio and Jerry Agar from WLS AM 890 radio were also there showing their support of the cause.
The media and the politicians are going to get a rude awaking sometime soon when more people join in and decide to take part in their governments' everyday operation. It's time to pay attention to how YOUR tax dollars are being spent.
Join the fight against massive government spending and higher taxes! To learn more about ‘parties' in your state being planned in the future, go to this national website.

Well lately
we’ve heard some media buzz that improvement is happening in
the Hoffman Estates Illinois
Real Estate Market and I just wanted to let
you know that YES –
it’s true!
So for the month of March 2009 .............. we’ve had 16 properties close – YIPPEE.
All the closings were below the $398,000 price and only 3 were actually above $300,000. This is basically showing us that obviously the first time buyers are spurring along the market. Also for those wondering, only 5 were marked foreclosures and 3 were marked short sales. Our MLS allows us to differentiate these from regular closings. The lowest sales price was $101,000 which is a great deal for a 3BR home on a larger lot in Hoffman Estates!
Now with the pending sales during March 2009 – 32 homes went under contract and 22 are below the $400,000 list price. So again we see that nothing is really happening yet in the upper price brackets for March.
There are currently 94 homes for sale below $300,000 available in Hoffman Estates.
