DuPage County Market Stats 2007 thru 2010

 The number one interest of the public when it comes to housing is WHEN WILL IT GET BETTER? 
I don't see how anyone can answer that.   I don't even think economists can predict the forecast.  Things can change fast from day to day globally and in our own country.

This is truly the time to buy so take the loss on the selling end if you can and reap the rewards when you buy.  To try and help show percentage drops and price changes from 2007 (the good old days) until now I made up some data with stats I received from IAR's website.
SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN DUPAGE COUNTY 4TH QUARTER STATS
2007 HOMES SOLD          2008 HOMES SOLD          % Change
          10,425                                       7,845                          -24.7%

AVERAGE SLD PRICE 07     AVERAGE SLD PRICE 08     % Change
                 347,923                                336,129                               -3.4%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2009 HOMES SOLD          2010 HOMES SOLD              %Change
               1,426                                 1,124                                -3.1%

AVERAGE SLD PRICE 09        AVERAGE SLD PRICE 10       %Change
             $343,021                                        $339,716                           -1.0%



Now you can look at the 2007 number of homes sold in DuPage County and compare that to 2010.  Those are the facts whether we like them or not we need to deal with it.  Selling a home today can take much much longer.  

Naperville is having a redesign contest for their resident newsletter.  I thought this might be fun for anyone who is creative or just wants a shot.  Also a family activity as well with your kids choosing a name, etc.  If you think you or someone you know may be interested check it out at the naperville website
to get all the details.

 By Jackie Beardsley WHAT JACKIE DOES TO GET HOMES SOLD! When Sellers had to move and the home was left vacant, this is how I helped them reach their goals in just a few days.  Above is my MLS photo of the kitchen which beautifully shows off their hard work. When I was asked to help out of state Sellers get their home sold quickly, it was a challenge well worth the hard work ahead.  First, I did a CMA for selling the property AS IS (picture below).

 By Jackie Beardsley Staging your home for sale-is it necessary? There are many factors that go into making a decision about whether or not you need to stage your home.  Is it a buyers market or a sellers market?  What is your competition, the comparable properties in your area.  How much staging is necessary, if at all?  These are things that your agent will determine and help you make an informative decision. Not all agents are alike.  Some may believe strongly that it is going to be beneficial to stage your home and will show you the stats to back it up.  The stats are true BUT it can be misleading and the stats used may be irrelevant to your situation. Every home and the sellers situation are unique.  Staging DOES help but that doesn't mean you will have to hire a professional stager and pay thousands of dollars. If we are in a buyers market you will want to lead the market and not be chasing after it, that is how you will lose money.  Mo...
