Chicago Real Estate Holds Strong

I have some great information on the Local Market Report for the first quarter of 2010 for the Chicago Land Area. The market is not where we would like it to be, but there is a silver lining at the end of the horizon for Chicago Home Owners.

Chicago is showing a median homes sales price of $176,400 compared to the U.S of $166, 367. It is always great when we see our home town holding up in a down economy. Prices are still down from a year ago but the trend is improving. The chart below will give you a good idea of where we are at in 2010.

State home sales from 2008 through 2009 saw a continuous lose and in 2010 there was a significant gain in the state of Illinois homes sale showing that sales are much stronger than a year ago. The growth for home sales is moving up slowly.

The Prime Foreclosures and delinquency in process for Chicago remains leveled off with the United States. Just remember that we are not at the end of short sales and foreclosures effecting the current market.

Below is a detailed report that goes over Today’s Market…

Chicago Home Sales Are Up in 2010 From This Time Last Year!

This is the news that every Chicagoland Home Seller wants to hear:

Chicago home sales jump 32% in May

It is great news to deliver to home sellers who want to list their home. We know that the home tax credit drove buyers out into the market as well as the low price tags on short sales and foreclosures. It is no surprise that I can report this based on the perks we have seen in the market. This idea that home sales continue to drive forward after the tax credit is wonderful for everyone. We are seeing the market recover in the number of sales.

Median home sale prices remain steady from this time last year but the high end homes are the harder sale, as buyers know they have their choice of homes, and more money equals more buying power. Although we see home sale prices remain lower then 2 years ago, this is great news for both buyers and seller; Chicagoland Homes Are Selling!

According to the Illinois Association of Real Estate, Crain’s has reported the following information. As a Northern Illinois Realtor I feel it is important for you to see the numbers of homes that are selling and keep you informed on the Real Estate market. Working with a professional who knows the market is what can set your home aside from the rest when selling or get you the dream home that you have always wanted to buy.

(Crain’s) — More homes were sold in Chicago in May than a year earlier, marking the ninth month in a row of year-over-year gains.

The Illinois Assn. of Realtors reported Tuesday that last month’s sales of 2,057 single-family houses and condominiums represented a 32.1% increase from May 2009 sales. The median price also rose, up 2.2% to $230,000, from the same month last year.
The city’s May sales uptick was also seen in the greater Chicago area, where 33.6% more homes were sold. The median price for those homes, however, fell, down 4.8% to $190,500.

Illinois home sales were up 27.1%. The median price of the 11,638 homes sold statewide last month was $157,00, a slight increase from the $156,000 median of May 2009.

The National Assn. of Realtors said Midwest home sales remained strong in May as the homebuyers tax credit drove sales nearly 22% higher than in May 2009. The credit called for offers to be made by April 30.

The data released Tuesday show 130,000 sales in the 11-state Midwest region in May. The median home price increased more than 2%, to $150,700.

Midwest sales again rose more than national ones. Nonseasonally adjusted figures show May home sales nationwide increased about 18% over last year.

The Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing Report, which also was released Tuesday, showed home sales increasing in all but one of 12 major Midwestern cities tracked. Fargo, N.D., led the region with a 66% sales jump. Detroit reported the only sales decrease, a 15% drop.

Low Interest Rates = Good News for Northbrook Home Sellers!

There is good news for Northbrook sellers. With the low interest rates, we do anticipate that 1st time home buyers will come back into the market regardless of a tax credit. The rental market is higher in price for High End Northbrook Homes and that will also make buying a home attractive.

So how does this affect the Northbrook Sellers?

If you are thinking of selling your Northbrook Home then recognize that your home has to finish in the top 5 homes on a buyers list. The home that shows the best with updates, fresh paint, looks clean and welcoming and is priced to sell is the one that will attract the buyer. Northbrook sellers are competing in a very tough market as you can see in the charts below.

There are 355 single family homes and 214 townhomes and condos currently on the market in the Northbrook area. So you have to ask:

What is Going to Set My Northbrook Home Aside From The Rest?

Staging your home to show your property at its best, including de-cluttering rooms, removing personal items and pictures and rearranging furniture can help in the sale of your home. I hire a professional photographer to takes the pictures of your Northbrook home when it is ready. We then take it to the next level with marketing your homes on 25 plus Websites and print advertising. I offer each home its own www.address. And the list goes on. The first viewing for potential buyers is most likely going to be online, so it has to have a great lasting impression. Marina Jacobson can help and give you the tools to get your home sold.
