Nationally sales have seen an expected upswing for March. But inventory still remains low in our surrounding Schaumburg Area. March numbers had only 1.8 months of inventory in Schaumburg alone. In all my years in the business I have never seen the inventory so low. This brings about a problem for buyers - There isn't enough inventory possibly to choose from. The homes that are updated with relatively no work to do will be snatched off the market quick. Will they go over the list price - eventually they will if more inventory does not fill the void. Not a problem for sellers though. It will not take long to sell your home obviously & prices should rise because of it. It will be tough if you are trying to transition from one smaller home to a larger one as will there be inventory for you?... 04/28/2017

Lately, I have been working with a loan officer that has been having some great luck with buyer down payment assistance money.  He is offering a few programs that others are not & that kind of money just doesn't come around all that often. So .... don't you think that buyers WANT this info?  I'm saying, they're saying 'MEH'.  Let's throw in some shoulder shrugs to boot here. So at open houses when I suggest they take 3 sheets stating the program benefits & the criteria (yes, the fine print so to speak) no wants to even TOUCH the papers! Remember the old 'cooties' .... that's what it reminds me of.  Boys don't want to touch girl's stuff & vice versa as it's got the 'cooties'.   BUT WAIT .....
