Orland Park Snowman Building ContestAs a kid what was your favorite part of December and Christmas? There was so much I can't pinpoint one thing. Remember snowball fights, ice skating, sledding, snow forts, Christmas decorating, less school work and parties, snow days, Christmas vacation, opening presents, the anticipation of Christmas morning and of course don't forget Frosty. Building the biggest and sometimes craziest snowman on the block. As much fun as that was a big part of that was warming up to hot chocolate with marshmallows. In a perfect world I would transform to a 10 year old every December. The next best thing is doing the smae thing as a kid today. Orland Park is making this possible with all their events this December and January. One of my favorites is the Snowman Buildi... 12/06/2012

Because of a health scare over a year ago I have decided to live my life as toxic free as possible.  This has affected my social drinking (from very little to none), my eating (trying to eat gluten-free and organic, at least for the dirty dozen), my make-up products (all non-toxic according to The Cosmetic Database) and no longer dying my hair.  To me, this has made a dramatic difference in my photos and it has taken a long time to grow out my beloved red to my current gray (with a bit of faded red at the ends that haven't been cut off yet). I chuckled when I saw the photo contest on Bryan Robertson's blog.  Boy do I have some different photos on my old business cards.  Now I just have to find them.  I've saved a couple but I don't know where, so I'll have to start looking around.  I kn... 11/27/2012

The following data shows market trends for single family Orland Park homes from 12/1/2011 through 2/29/2012. It's easy to see that there are more listings coming on the market as we get closer to our more active spring and summer markets. January took a nosedive with the amount of homes that actually sold.  Thankfully, that trend shot back up in February. The average list price for homes in Orland Park took a dip in January but are continuing upward again through February.  Keep in mind, a seller can ask anything they want for their home, but the next chart shows actual sales data.  List price can sometimes be more like "dream" data.   Compare this chart to the chart above and you'll see the discrepancy between average list price and average sold price.  The average list price in Decemb... 03/13/2012

Orland Park Homes Supply & Demand Chart for All of 2011 We finally have our year-end statistics and the chart above shows us exactly what a Buyer's Market is.  The red lines represent active Orland Park homes for sale.  The blue line shows us homes that went under contract for the month.  The green line shows homes that sold and closed. One thing I especially like about this chart is that it shows us what months showed the most activity in each category.  August had the largest supply of homes for sale.  More homes went under contract in May and the most closings occurred in July from those May contracts.  Not much went under contract in December, which is usually the norm. If you're a seller in Orland Park and you're wondering why your place is sitting on the market without any offers,... 01/18/2012
