Short Sales...and Pork with Passion     Short Sales first... To say they are challenging may be a slight understatement... No matter how many of these we do I still get an immense feeling of satisfaction when we get an approval letter from a bank or better yet... from 2 banks.     Many questions, tactics, approaches surround short sales.  And in spite of new regulations they seem to move thru the system sporadically. That said, I love em.  There is little else (in my opinion) in this industry that brings this sort of gratification from assisting others.  Helping a distressed homeowner get out from underneath a situation (divorce, job loss, etc...) and keep them from facing foreclosure is extraordinarily emotional and bringing a positive result to the table is the best outcome in an othe... 10/06/2010

I found this great article on Yahoo this morning concerning things that people usually think add value to their home but really don't in the end. I think it is something that all sellers should read and understand because I completely agree with it! It may save you a mortgage payment or two in the end by selling your home quicker in some cases but these things wont actually add any value to your home.  I know real estate is forever changing and different across the nation so I wanted to repost it and see what your thoughts were on this! Please read the article below and let me know if you agree.  6 Things You Think Add Value to Your Home -- But Really Don't Every homeowner must pay for routine home maintenance, such as replacing worn-out plumbing components or staining the deck, but som... 10/03/2010

While the Real Estate Market has cooled a bit as of late (there have been 15 closings in O’Fallon in September 2010 compared to 29 for this same period last year) there was plenty going on in O’Fallon this weekend.

What goes up...must come down.  As numbers tumbled nationwide the (sharpest drop in history at 27%) after the tax credit original expiration of June 30, 2010 something odd was going on in O'Fallon IL.  While it is true that numbers did go down slightly from June to July - they went back up (+15%) in August...actually it was the best August since 2006.      So while there are areas that continue to slide, O'Fallon IL seems to be holding on and in fact increasing despite the economic climate and depressed housing market.  On a broader, but still local view, things have increased for the entire county over last month (despite what the local paper would have you believe). In July there were 480 closings in St. Clair County, and in August that number climbed to 500. Not staggering numbers ho... 09/03/2010

First a bit of disclosure... I stopped taking a paper years ago.  I view them about the same way I see phone books... a giant and expensive waste of paper.  However I do in fact still voraciously read various trade publications along with our local paper online.  The big news of late has been that home sales have plummeted 27% from June to July. So effective is social media that I received this news almost a dozen times before a client brought it to my attention in a printed format.   Our local paper managed to regurgitate the same story yesterday (read the article here) basically plummeting sales due to the expiration of the tax credit.  And while monthly numbers (June-July) are in fact down, year to date numbers are up. If you dig a bit a slightly different story starts to emerge.  Pl... 08/26/2010

First of all THANK YOU to all of you who came out to support Children's Miracle Network.  Proceeds from every Blizzard sold on August 5th went to help Local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. In 2009 over $4.6 Million was raised on Miracle Treat Day alone!   After the spike in June with the rush to get things closed prior to the tax credit deadline (it has been extended) things seem to have settled down.  Based on the numbers for July it would appear at least locally that the extension had little effect.  However estimates nationwide put the number of homeowners who would have missed the credit in the 180,000 range.  It will be this Fall before we get a "true" image of the market but expect sales to continue to soften a bit as we go into the 3rd and 4th quarter. Numbers for closed ho... 08/06/2010

Are you considering adding a Sunroom to your home? Consider the costs carefully along with neighboring home values. Never become the most expensive home in your area! Also, consider if you will be needing to sell your home in the next 3-6 years or so. According to this study you will probably only recoup 51% of the costs for your new addition. Sunrooms are characterized by lots of glass--a typical sunroom contains at least 20 windows, plus skylights. Image: Florian Solar Products   Despite its informal, indoor-outdoor feel, a sunroom addition is a costly undertaking. It needs a foundation, walls, and a roof, just like any other addition-and it needs numerous windows, which can ratchet up the costs.   A 200-square-foot sunroom addition, including footings and slab-on-grade foundation, po... 07/28/2010

It's a great time to buy real estate. Looking for a home for sale, foreclosures, short sales, multi-family in St. Clair County IL? Home sales up Yesterday the Commerce Department reported that new home sales increased 23.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 330,000 last month, up from an downwardly revised 267,000 in May. Sales year-over-year fell 16.7%.

Home sales had surged in March and April as homebuyers scrambled to sign contracts ahead of the April 30 deadline for the tax credit, plummeted 40% in May, the first month after t... 07/27/2010
