Most people that I talk with are concerned about how COVID-19 is effecting real estate. Will values stay the same? Will they decline? Honestly at this time, I can tell you what I have noticed with as many numbers or trends as I can gather for you. Before your eyes glaze over when I mention numbers, I'll be sure to explain how they will effect you. Just a disclaimer that real estate is a funny creature. One subdivision or town might be effected harshly & others will be fine. This is the way of the world so this report is a generality. Now in our Hoffman Estates Market, things have returned to numbers expected. We still have showings taking place with precautions taking place & homes selling at a faster pace than the 2019 year. So in conclusion, the market is still moving forward we just ...

One of the values that an agent brings to the table is their local knowledge of the real estate market. Is it up? Is it down? Suddenly a particular financing can no longer be used on your home which makes it available to less buyers. There are many, many things to compile to become knowledgeable. I pass all that information along to my sellers so they sell for more money & in a decent time frame. That's what I do & what I work for with every client I represent. One of the things that I noticed on doing the 2019 year end review was the vast amount of lender fees, points or 'mortgage help' the buyers are asking for in their home purchases. Following the sold & closed property everyday in nearby markets, I keep seeing $4000 and $5000 on many listings. This is also called 'seller concession...

Real Estate Market Update in Hoffman Estates - September 2019 What are Prices Doing?  Average sales price ($323,000) a decrease of 5% from September 2018.  Remember that every Hoffman Estates subdivision is responding & recovering differently. That means "if and when" a home in the area goes on the market. Sellers are now pretty happy with prices or have decided that now is a good time to move. How about you? Are you thinking of moving? With our overall amount of inventory we are still in a sellers market. Inventory has actually decreased 19% from 2018.Homes actually closing in Hoffman Estates was the same in September as last year.Homes going under contract have increased over 2018 slightly. Market time for homes going under contract is 98 days. This is definitely confusing isn't it?  ...

 What are Prices Doing?  Average sales price ($354,000) a increase of 3% from July 2018.  Sellers are now happy with prices or have decided that now is a good time to move. Some of life's choices say that it's time to do it. How about you? Are you thinking of moving? With our overall amount of inventory we are still in a sellers market. Inventory has actually increased but just slightly. Homes actually closing is actually down. Market time for homes going under contract for July is 49 days. If you think that 49 days is high I would advise you make sure your home shows the best in your particular price range and you will 'win' with an offer. Many sellers don't get the correct information from their agent on how to get their home ready for today's buyers. I can show you how to make the mo...

Sellers are now pretty happy with prices or have decided that now is a good time to move. How about you? Let's talk if you are thinking of moving. With our overall amount of inventory we are still in a sellers market. Inventory is UP slightly 1% over 2018. Homes actually closing is DOWN from 2018 by 15%. Total homes going under contract have been the highest so far this year. Market time for homes is 56 days.
