We have definately seen some highs and lows of the real estate market over the last few years. 2007 was a challenging year for all those trying to sell their homes. Although we still have a hill to climb, we think people are realizing that it is not as bad as it all seems.
A great way to describe this market is that it is an "opportunity market." There are good opportunities to sell and to buy and even to invest. Even though the real estate market has been on a roller coaster this past year, there is still no safer investment than in real estate.
So take advantage of this great "opportunity market." Work with a real estate professionalthat knows your market and has innovative ideas and an extensive marketing plan to get you home sold.
Here are some statistics on available homes currently on the market and statistics on year to date home sales and market times.

Despite all the negative media reports, the Hanover Park real estate market saw some steady growth throughout 2007. There is no denying that numbers are down from previous years however, it is not as bad as the media would lead you to believe.
Real estate markets are all local. Each one very different from the next. While one are may have no significant activity at all, another may have a steady, even flow of activity. Therefore, it would be unfair to base a decision of moving and not moving on these "national statistics" reported from the media.
Know what is going on in your specific market place. If you are a seller, your real estate agent should be keeping you aware of what your competition is. What are they priced at? How long have they been on the market? How do they compare in amenities and/or upgrades to you? Have they gone or are they under contract? These are all things they will help make the marketing and selling of your home less stressful and easier for you and your real estate agent.
Here are some statistics on available homes currently on the market and statistics on year to date home sales and market times.

It is a new year with lots of new opportunities. The "spring real estate market" is just underway. It is a new market with new homes coming on the market. New prices and new focuses. With so many people now accepting the changes in the market, there are NEW BUYERS too!
Sellers should be aware of market conditions in their area. Market conditions are local so what may be happening in the next town over or the next state over may not have any bearing on the real estate market in you community. It takes more than just a sign in the ground and the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) to get your home sold. Make sure you hire a real estate agent with an aggressive marketing plan. 85% of people start their home search on the internet. Make sure your agent has the internet exposure needed to get the exposure that is going to reach those "internet shoppers."

"Incredible"
Rick and Lynn,
I wanted to write a short note to thank you for an incredible job. I have dealt with many types of business and you both are by far one of the most professional teams I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
Lynn is absolutely incredible! I told her what I was looking for and she did the research to find the best match. I find this outstanding because all the other realtors I have dealt with just gave me a big stack of listings and wanted me to do the work. As you know, I ended up buying the second house she showed me. I really appreciate you negotiating the best selling price of my house and the best purchase price for my new house. You are a real pro!
It's always a real pleasure working with professionals that obviously love what they do. Thank you for a job well done and a great buying experience.
Mr. Skinner ~ West Chicago, Il
