Came across an interesting survey about home satisfaction during the pandemic. It seems that 44% of homeowners are dissatisfied with their house situation & 34% are more satisfied with it. The most features that homeowners desire in their next home would be:1)  Home gym2)  Home office3)  Gaming space4)  Kitchen space Actually I'm a little surprised about the Kitchen space coming in 4th position. Usually it's right up there with Family Room & the Kitchen being 1 & 2. The survey also offered up where people like to 'hide' during the pandemic.  It's an interesting read from Sears Home Services. 10/02/2020

Land shark knocking at your door! I still remember vividly the skit on Saturday Night Live. But in the real estate world, there are plenty of sharks out there to be wary of. Let's just talk about a new group of 'real estate disruptors'.I-BUYERSThey can't wait to turn the real estate market upside down but really, they just want entry into your wallet. I-Buyers are companies that come out & buy your home in any condition but offer a quick close. Most of the time no repairs need to be done by the seller. Seems almost perfect doesn't it?But underneath what is going on? That company is taking advantage of your need for the quick fix. I don't want the hassle is going to come with a price. I can't stand the emotional connection with selling Mom & Dad's house is going to come with a price.It's... 09/16/2020

Most people that I talk with are concerned about how COVID-19 is effecting real estate. Will values stay the same? Will they decline?Honestly at this time, I cannot look into my crystal ball & get a clear answer. I can tell you what I have noticed so far with as many numbers or trends as I can gather for you. Before your eyes glaze over when I mention numbers, I'll be sure to explain how they will affect you.Just a disclaimer that real estate is a funny creature. One subdivision or town might be effected harshly & others will be fine. This is the way of the world so this report is a generality.New construction housing starts are still moving along until the interior work needs to be done & social distancing has to take effect. It will delay closings which will cause even more pent up de... 04/20/2020

  How have Home Sales Changed since COVID-19?Why this is not 2008 all over again & here's why! 04/06/2020

There are many things that are happening in the Schaumburg Area Real Estate Market & some are very good. Showings have been impacted (graph is Illinois) but I wanted to show that not all real estate has stopped dead in its tracks. We have had many transactions already in the works & they have closed successfully. So this graph shows that showings so far over these last few weeks have been down by 22% across IL. Following the end of the month, we will get another number but don't forget that this has never happened before in any market.Another surprising figure that I hope will continue into the Spring Market is that homes are still selling over list price. According to CoreLogic, 29% of homes sold so far this year are selling over their listing prices. Obviously, this was before COVID-1... 03/26/2020
