Elk Grove Village Illinois Median Home Prices The graph displayed below is the median home prices in Elk Grove Village from June 2007 to December 2009.  The median price is the point at which half of all homes are sold for more and half are sold for less.   It gives you an idea of what prices properties are selling for in the community.  When the median price is on the lower end, more reasonably priced homes are selling vs. the higher end homes.  In the current market since January 2009, you can see that the median priced home was $228,000 and then rebounded for June 2009 with a price of $282,000. This is also following the trend that I have personally seen with first time home buyers moving along the market.  Foreclosures are traditionally priced below market and are also adjusting the...

The 3 Things about Location ~ What’s the most asked question that I receive from people about real estate?  What’s the #1 tip that I could pass along? Well there’s actually 3 things that are enmeshed together – location, price and condition.  All 3 actually make your home either sell or be rejected by prospective buyers.So a real estate mantra in case you don't know it is: Location, location, location! There's that 3 again but there is a reason that it is used over and over.  Nobody listens!The location of your home makes a 'price' difference to buyers from the town that it's in, the street that it's on and the school district the kids will be attending.Obviously different towns have different socio-economic benefits for living there.  Maybe you need the train to go to work?  Maybe you'...
