Long Grove real estate, as well as real estate across the nation, is closely tied to employment levels and economic recovery.  Early numbers for August are showing an improvement in retail sales and filings for unemployment.  The rocky road to recovery is making small steps forward and when recovery is here in full mortgage rates will begin to rise, as will home values.  When that will happen is an unknown, but it could be sooner than later.

Today it is a buyers market when it comes to Long Grove homes.  If you would like to get out and take a closer look at the market please give me a call today.  Click here to read a recent article from the New York Times regarding the benefits of home ownership.

That is why I provide everyone with Year to Date Sales of Long Grove Homes and Long Grove Townhouses and sales are on the rise in 2010. The Realtor Association of Northwest Chicagoland is showing for July of 2010 a 38.8% increase in Long Grove Single Family Homes Sales and a 61.1% decrease in Townhome and Condos Sales. Please take into consideration there are not much attached housing in the area. The median sales price is down 5.2% on single family homes and is down 10.3% on attached home sales. The Long Grove Real Estate Market is staying steady in 2010, low interest rates and reasonable prices of homes are keeping buyers active in the market. The higher priced homes in the area are attributing to the decreased prices and sales in the area because there are not as many buyers out there for the higher end price range. High end buyers are looking for great deals, which in turn brings down the prices of the million dollar homes. Although market time for home sales may not be what it was 5 years ago, sellers with patience and a good realtor can get their home sold for fair market value.
