Secure Financing Before Buying Buffalo Grove Real Estate

August 10, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment

If 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.

Real Estate Sales Are Way Up In Buffalo Grove Illinois

August 3, 2010 by Sharron · Leave a Comment

Real estate sales are way up in Buffalo Grove Illinois. According to the real estate tracking website Trulia.com, real estate sales for the three week period from July 7th through the 28th are up over 50%, 54.2% to be exact. This is a huge jump compared with the same three week period from a year ago.

Buffalo Grove home prices have not changed in the last year but the historically low interest rates are making it more affordable than ever to buy real estate. The July sales improvement is even more striking considering the home buyer tax credit expired at the end of June and its extension is not likely to have had too much of an effect on sales volume.

If you would like to learn more about Buffalo Grove Illinois and the real estate opportunities that exist there please contact me today. I can fill you in on the various neighborhoods and help locate what best suits your needs.

Who could ask for more?

Sunday, July 4th at 7pm, the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band will kick off a live concert at the Rotary Village Green for the Buffalo Grove Independence Day celebration followed by Fireworks at 9:15p.m.

For two hours the band will play contemporary music, including Broadway, pop and jazz and classical music.

Pack up your picnic basket, grab your blanket and your chairs and come out to enjoy the Buffalo Grove Festivities. Don’t forget your radio and tune into 88.1FM, the village has put together a compilation of music that compliments the firework show.

The Buffalo Grove Fireworks can also be seen from The Rotary Village Green where the live concert will take place, the Buffalo Grove Golf Course located at 48 Raupp Boulevard, Buffalo Grove, IL and Willow Stream Park located at 600 Farringtong Drive Buffalo Grove, IL.
