                            LOMBARD ILLINOIS - PRAIRIE PATH  Taking a break from real estate today, I've been extremely busy, this market is definitely turning around!  There are many great deals here, and it seems the buyers are finally getting it!  It's time to take a day and kick back and enjoy our 60 degree day here!  The weather has been extremely chilly and it's gorgeous right now!  If you're not familiar with Lombard Illinois, this is just one of many perks we have here, the Illinois Prairie Path.  It's a 62 mile walking/bike path, 25 miles west of Chicago.     Built in the 1960'S,it was the Chicago, Aurora and Elgin electric railroad. The Prairie Path was the first "rail to trail" conversion of it's kind in the country.  The volunteer movement that created it, led by legendary C...

A Multiple Listing search for Lombard, IL, today, shows that even though the number of homes sold has dropped the last couple of years.  The first quarter of 2008 home sales have increased over 2007 and home values have rebounded as well.  If you were waiting for the (national media's) bottom, you may have missed it.The number of homes sold in the first quarter of 2008 are up 8 units, compared to 2007.  That is an increase of around 14%.  This may be a sign that there will be more homes sold in Lombard this year compared to last year.  This should have a good impact on the home values as well.This graph shows the mean price of homes sold in the same time frames.  The 1st quarter of 2007 verses the 1st quarter 2008 is up almost $18,000.  As a percentage that is a gain in value of just ov...

Hi to all the dog lovers!  I didn't realize this group was in AR still I started searching.  I just joined and I would love some comments on this pet store: Happiness Is Pets I don't know if you have any, I'm sure you have pet stores, but this one in particular has been getting a bad rap in Illinois.  Of course the owner says the puppies are from breeders, but come on!  What breeder do you know would put a puppy in a cage for who knows how long? Anyone ever boycot before?  I would love to see this store gone!  UPDATE - THE WARRENVILLE STORE IS CLOSED!!!!!  THIS IS JULY 3, 2008.  IT WAS IN THE PAPER TODAY THAT WORKERS WERE SEEN TAKING THE CAGES AND THE SIGN DOWN.  THE OWNER WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT.  GREAT JOB TO ALL THE RESIDENTS! If you click on petfinder.com below, you'll see all ...

Property values in DuPage County are increasing.  Yes, you read that right...increasing.  The data covers the last 3 years and shows that although the number of homes sold is down, the values have increased.  The chart below shows the decline in detached single family homes sales from 2005-2007.The data above confirms what the national media has been saying about the real estate market.  It IS true,  DuPage has shown declines in the number of homes sold just like the rest of the country.  As a percentage, home sales are down about 37% during this period.  Where the news reports make their mistake is with the great generalities regarding the home prices.  Below you will see what has happened to home values locally over this same period of time.The average value of a home in DuPage County...

I am a Realtor and I always try to find ways to help my clients.  I make recommendations for lenders, attorneys, insurance agents, and home inspectors in a typical sale, but I don't stop there.  I recommend painters, landscapers, roofers, and most other homeowner needs.Now, I have found the most important recommendation that I could ever give a client.  A way to save them thousands of dollars!  The average client saves about $150,000 or more!  This concept was so impressive that I decided to become an affiliate to get the word out.  Take a look at the link, watch the videos, and see for yourself.

Active Rain is amazing in so many ways.  I have learned so many things, I have met so many wonderful friendly people and have been viewed and contacted by many consumers since finding my place on the first few pages of Google and Yahoo.What I have become since becoming a member of Active Rain is a Target!  A target for those looking for new Mortgage Professionals.  In the last 2 weeks, I have been bombarded a couple times a day by someone looking to interview me based on my on-line "resume".  However flattering that can be, most probably feel they are the only one calling me.  After call 5 or 6 it is not as flattering anymore.  Every Company has the latest and greatest.  Automated underwriting, work from anywhere, in house underwriting, in house closing, licensed in every state, contrac...

Paying less interest on your mortgage is easier than you think!If you were to make every payment on your mortgage without adding any extra to the principal your loan would look like this:Loan amount                                  $250,000.00Interest 6.5% (30 yrs)Monthly payment  P/I                         $1,580.17Total interest paid over 30 years       $318,861.22If you were to make just one extra payment a year of 1580.00 in one lump sum or divide it over the months towards the principal for 30 years this is what you would save:Loan amount                                  $250,000.00Interest 6.5% (30 yrs)Monthly payment P/I                           $1580.17Extra payment every year                     $1580.00 (or 131.66 each month) Total interest paid over 30 years       $248,879....
