Grayslake Halloween Trick or Treat Hours 2014 The Grayslake Village Board designates a specific time for Halloween Trick or Treating within the Village of Grayslake. Date: Friday, October 31 2014 Time: 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Here are some Halloween Safety Tips to consider, from Halloween-Safety.com: "Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things. Some towns set a curfew for trick or treating which makes it easier for townsfolk to know who's coming to their door. Make sure and stick to the curfew times and stick to subdivisions and areas with a lot of homes so your kids can get in as much trick or treating as possible in a few hours ti... 10/15/2014

If you're a home owner in #Grayslake then the following chart should make you happy. The average home price has gained +12.3% year over year. Not bad considering we are still working within a precarious macro economy.   Now lets take a look at the average time on market.  Year-over-year Grayslake has managed to decrease the average market time by over 27%.  That is a remarkable improvement considering all the headwinds Lake County's economy has to deal with.  If you list your home with a broker today, you should expect the average time to be at only 87 days.       "Months Supply's" you ask ........ If no more listings entered the local market all homes would sell in 4 months.  That is well below the recent year normal's, tending to be more in the area of 10-12 months.     So let's brief... 09/13/2014
