School  starts tomorrow in Buffalo Grove and Long Grove! Its time to go back to school!  If you are a student you will be crying tomorrow  when you wake up at 6:30 a.m. .

A perfect warm sunny day in quaint Long Grove Illinois.   Long Grove is 5 minutes from Deer Park and Barrington Illinois.  There were many in attendance at the show on Saturday and Sunday with continuous music, food and a Kids Corner.  The fest was free.  The arts and crafts from 100 artists from around the country blended in well with all the shops in Long Grove.    Long Grove is a don't miss village to visit if you are in the area even if there is not a fest going on.  There are great shops, restaurants, winery, chocolate shop, historical buildings galore and more.  Always worth the trip.               Julie Anne - Julie Anne Real Estate Team- Keller Williams Barrington Illinois - www.homesbyjulieanne.com    847-620-5815                                                              Po...

Long Grove Real Estate Trends! Coldwell Banker agent interprets the Long Grove real state  in 2008 Are you curious as to what Long Grove Sales  were in the first 7 ½ months this year versus last year? Whether you are in the market to buy a home or to sell your current home, it is important to keep abreast of market statistics (or at least to work with a knowledgeable REALTOR who does). Newspapers, national magazines, and television news report on regional and national trends, but don't do a very good job of explaining the local real estate market in Long Grove   The number of new housing starts nationwide or the percentage increase in foreclosures or short sales in the entire state have very little, if any, bearing on how quickly Long Grove home is worth in Prairie Trails or Royal Melbo...
