Buffalo Grove Real Estate Data Shows Increase in Sales

September 1, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment 

Buffalo Grove real estate sales volume has increased quite a bit compared with a year agoThe most recent data for Buffalo Grove real estate sales shows an increase of over 38% in the number of single family homes sold compared with a year ago.  This significant increase may have been induced by the home buyer tax credit, but it appears to be stabilizing without it.  The amazing low interest rates and higher-than-normal inventory are combining to entice prospective home buyers into the Buffalo Grove real estate market.

While Buffalo Grove home values appear to be leveling off, it continues to be a buyers market.  There are some bargains out there, including a few short sale properties.  It is important to use a qualified Buffalo Grove Realtor to locate the best deal however, as not all bargains are as good as they may sound.

The quality of life and the sense of community in Buffalo Grove Illinois will continue to make it a desirable place to call home.  If you are considering buying Buffalo Grove real estate please contact me today.  I have access to all homes that are currently listed for sale in the area and have the knowledge and experience that you need to make an educated and informed decision on exactly where you want your next home to be.

Secure Financing Before Buying Buffalo Grove Real Estate

August 10, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment 

If you are thinking about buying a home in Buffalo Grove it is a good idea to secure a mortgage firstIf you are thinking about buying Buffalo Grove real estate it is important to secure your financing first.  Real estate transactions are not as easy as they were a few years ago, unless you are a cash buyer that is.  The no-doc loans and no money down loans that ran rampant and led the housing boom and subsequent bust are no longer available.  Today a down payment, good credit and a steady, documented source of income is required to obtain a mortgage to buy a Buffalo Grove home.

There are a few things to keep in mind before speaking with a lender about a mortgage to purchase Buffalo Grove real estate.  The potential pitfalls that will inhibit you from acquiring a loan are as follows: poor credit, excessive debt, and unemployment.  In addition if you are self-employed you should expect to jump through many hoops if you want to get approved for a loan.

If you are interested in buying a home in Buffalo Grove Illinois please contact me today.  I can help recommend a mortgage broker or two and can help get the process of purchasing Buffalo Grove real estate underway.
