How to check public data about Chicago homes
2012-01-18 06:28:00 If there’s one thing I’ve learned from reading 10s of 1,000s of comments on real estate websites, it’s this: few people know where to find public data about homes that are listed for sale, and very few of those few know how to interpret the data they find. How to interpret the data intelligently is... Read more »

What Makes Homes Turns Into Short Sales?
2011-11-23 06:00:00 What makes homes turn into short sales? You can have the same home side-by-side or across the street from each other and one will be a short sale and the other will not. Exactly what are short sales? What makes one home a short sale and the other home a traditional sale? Here is a clue. It is not the seller. It is not the type of financing offered. It is not the type of buyer who makes the offer. To further complicate matters, there is no guarantee that even if the home is sold as a short sale that the transaction will close as a short sale.

Is there a market for $6 million homes in Hinsdale?
2011-06-22 01:44:00 The highest-priced sale in Hinsdale during the past twelve months has been well shy of $5 million, so one has to marvel at the fact that four homes costing over $6 million are currently on the market or underway in the village. In the video Chicago Magazine's Dennis Rodkin tours a newly-built 7-bedroom home with 7 full and 2 half baths on a half-acre in southeast Hinsdale. The home, at 627 S Elm St, is priced at $6,720,000. Watch the video and read more details in Rodkin's Deal Estate column. I have to confess I'm an unabashed fan of Rodkin's. Who else among Chicago journalists knows what a groin vault is?...
New homes ready for occupancy at Reston Ponds of Sycamore
2011-06-13 02:06:00 If you're looking to make a move this summer so your family is settled for the new school year, now's the time to take a look at two move-in ready new homes at Reston Ponds in Sycamore. Sycamore has an acclaimed school district, and Sycamore itself is a surprisingly interesting small town. Great parks and recreational programs, proximity to I-88 and shopping, an old town feel and a thriving business community add up to a place that's worth a visit. Options at Reston Ponds include the Kaneville II, a 2m300 square foot, 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home on Juniper Drive at $224,950 and the more spacious St Charles I model on Mary Ann Circle at 3,015 square feet, also with...
Move-in ready homes in Geneva and Sycamore
2011-05-25 06:15:00 If the approaching end of the school year reminds you that you've been meaning to have yourself in a new home and the kids in a different school system next year - it's time to buy that new home. Construction schedules are pretty inflexible. If you want to be sure to be moved in prior to the start of the school year, you'll need to be looking at move-in ready homes. Shodeen Residential has a variety of homes that you can move into quickly at both its Mill Creek and Reston Ponds developments, in Geneva and Sycamore, respectively. Both developments are in excellent school districts, both have on-site elementary schools, and lots and green space and recreational amenities. Homes...
Check out West Loop homes at the Randolph Street Market Festival
2011-05-16 14:11:00 We've always thought that neighborhood fairs and festivals are a great way to try on a neighborhood and see if it fits. You generally get to meet a number of local businesses and residents, sample the local food, and visit real estate open houses in just one trip. Every weekend this summer you'll find something special taking place in a number of Chicago neighborhoods - more than 400 neighborhood fairs and festivals in all. The Randolph Street Market Festival is an event that recurs several times throughout the summer. It opens Saturday and Sunday, May 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1340 W Washington St in the West Loop. The event features antiques, independent designer...
Number of homes listed for rent in downtown neighborhoods falls again
2011-05-13 21:31:00 Another Friday brings another low number of downtown homes listed for rent on the MLS. At this time last year, 1,350 condos, townhomes, and single-families in 14 downtown ZIP codes were available; as of this morning, there are 817. Leading the 182 homes listed in the last 7 days is a three-bedroom / three-bath on the 43rd floor of Park Tower, 800 N Michigan Ave. At $21,900, it's the second most expensive rental in the city. The unit features unobstructed views of the lake to the east, stone and hardwood finishes, a master suite with an Italian steam room and huge walk-in shower, a state-of-the-art kitchen, an upscale sound system, and motorized shades. Renters also get access to all...
Do high cooperating real estate commissions help sell homes?
2011-05-13 14:07:00 The other day I got an email promoting the closeouts at The Columbian at 1160 S Michigan Ave (more on that in another post). One of the things that got my attention was that they are offering buyer's agents a 3.5% commission on all the units except the penthouse unit listed at $1.9 MM on which they are paying a 4% commission. Those commissions are really high - and intentionally so. Do the math. Whenever I see commissions like this I get this puzzled look on my face. Sidebar with some background: Real estate commissions, paid by the seller, are split between the seller's agent and the buyer's agent. The seller and his/her agent decide upon how much the...
Chicago Home Prices Falling 2%+ Per Month; More Homes Underwater
2011-05-11 00:04:00 Not to diminish the tragedy in Memphis but a ton of homes are underwater in Chicago too. Zillow came out with their first quarter report yesterday and they are claiming that almost 46% of area homes are underwater at this point - i.e. the homeowners owe more money than the home is worth. Now don't go believing this number from Zillow because it's based on their notoriously inaccurate home valuations. In fact, for the 4th quarter of 2010 they claimed that 39% of area homes were underwater while the more trustworthy (in my opinion) numbers from CoreLogic showed "only" 25.4% of Chicago area homes underwater. CoreLogic's 1st quarter numbers won't be available yet for another month, which is why...
Earth Day: Chicago Developer Builds Green Homes At An Affordable Price

About a year ago, he partnered with developer Paul Wicklow - together they are rehabbing a historic bungalow on Central Avenue in Cicero.But this won't be just any other flipped home. According to Chris, the bungalow will be the first ever certified Green home rehab in Illinois. He walked me through the property today, which is about 70% completed. The key, he told me, is keeping as much of the original home as possible. They're refinishing the original oak floors and doors, as well as all of the trim...

North Shore homes are renting quickly
2011-03-31 04:04:00 The inventory of homes and condos available for rent as of today increased to 279 as of today, from 270 at this time last week. That small increase masks a much more important fact about the North Shore rental markt - homes are turning over rapidly. Forty-five of the current listings have come to market within the past 7 days, indicating that nearly one-sixth of available homes were either rented or withdrawn from the market during the past week. Some of the currently available homes - especially at the higher price ranges - have been on the market for months, but well-priced new listings are being snapped up nearly as fast as they come to market. I'm a sucker...
Long-lingering West Wilmette homes now for rent
2011-03-11 23:10:00 Several weeks ago we focused in on a home at 2411 Thornwood Ave in West Wilmette that's been on the market for nearly 5 years. The home is now being offered as a rental, for $7,500 a month, and is still for sale at $1,649,000. The Thornwood home is tied with 2411 Greenwood, just around the corner, for the title of "highest-priced rental in Wilmette" at this time. The Greenwood home, which features 5 bedrooms and 5 ½ baths, is also listed for sale at $1,675,000. Both homes are listed in the MLS as new construction built in 2009, which is puzzling to me since I began tracking both homes in 2006....
How Many Homes Are Underwater?!
2011-03-11 14:14:00 Crain's reported earlier this week that 25% of Chicago area homes have mortgages larger than the current value of their home. Before you current homeowners rush to your nearest agent for a CMA (comparative market analysis), let's take a closer look at these numbers and what mean for potential buyers and sellers. Sellers You may be lucky enough to still have some positive equity left or you are a savvy saver and can afford to take the hit. If so- it may be time to make the move. If you are looking into a bigger home, affordability is hard to pass up right now (both rates and market value). Sometimes the short sale is the way to go. Yes, there are penalties but if you are in a sinking ship- you don't need to play Captain. Start looking at the overall health of the building and where your value is headed. If your condo association continues raising assessment and values are dropping- you may want to cut your losses. Before stopping mortgage payments discuss your options ...
Four years and no takers for two new Bridgeport homes
2011-03-02 23:30:00 The new-construction single-families at 2836 S Lock St and 2841 S Broad St in Bridgeport, arrived on the market on February 18, 2006, and haven't gone anywhere since. That's right: They've been on the market for 1,839 consecutive days. The homes were a part of the Riverside Homes development, a community of 37 single-family homes and townhomes built by DeGrazia Development. One was originally listed in the $570s, another in the $590s, but both have dropped in price five times since, and are currently listed at $485,000 apiece. For the sake of comparison, the median price for the neighborhood's new single-families is closer to $390,000, and the median for all its single-families, regardless of age, is almost $400,000. Each...
5 Year Supply Of Distressed Homes In Chicago
2011-02-09 17:20:00 Maybe the groundhog didn't see his shadow last week but S&P sure did. Well, actually S&P looked at shadow inventory on January 25 and it was long and dark for Chicago. Shadow inventory is the sum total of all distressed homes that are either already owned by banks or in some stage of trouble on their mortgages - e.g. at least 90 days delinquent on their mortgage payment. As of the end of 2010 Chicago had almost a 6 year supply of such homes - 59 months worth to be exact - and that's up from 52 months at the end of the 3rd quarter and 42 months at the end of 2009. As I've recently pointed out, distressed...

60 Homes Get Velux Solar Water Heating
2010-12-22 09:24:00 On average, water heating is the second largest energy expenditure behind heating and cooling, according to information on the Energy Star website.

Wells Street Tower homes routinely closing below mid-2000s sale prices
2010-12-20 23:25:00 River City isn't the only building on South Wells Street where prices have tanked -- it's tough to be a seller at Wells Street Tower, too. Six of the seven condos that closed in the building this year sold for the same amount or less than they sold for in 2002 and 2003, when the tower was first delivering units. The one exception was a 4,000 square-foot penthouse, once owned by one of the tower's developers. The nine homes currently listed at Wells Street Tower, 701 S Wells St, sold in the mid-2000s from the $240s to $370s, according to Blockshopper; today, they're listed from the $180s to $330s, or anywhere from 8% to 37% less than before. The 170-unit...

Understanding Case Logic's report on underwater homes
2010-12-13 23:05:00 Here's some local color on today's Core Logic report on negative equity: Chicago's share of mortgages with negative equity actually rose (contrary to national numbers) from 22.3% last quarter to 22.7% this quarter. An additional 5% of Chicago-area borrowers have 5% or less equity in their homes, which is essentially negative since it usually takes at least 6% in transaction costs to sell a house. This puts us 19th out of 50 cities; however, all but four of the cities ahead of us have been associated with either radical housing booms (the Orlando and Las Vegas metro areas) or severe economic distress (the Detroit and Cleveland metro areas). We have the second-most homes in negative equity among Midwest cities. Our...

What The New Facebook Profiles & Staging Homes Have in Common
2010-12-06 07:23:00 So tonight as I watched the new Facebook Profile being unmasked during 60 minutes, I realized I was both excited and nervous to take a peek for myself. I headed on over to check it out and quickly recognized the prompt guiding me through the update. If you haven’t seen that prompt, you can get the ball rolling here. Once upgraded I experienced the happy delight of a new vantage point…exactly the same high I get when rearranging furniture. Yes, I enjoy the familiar comfort of my living spaces, but it’s always refreshing and energizing to update the design and functionality in my home. Same goes for Facebook Profiles…really! So here’s what I like so far…and what might take some getting used to: What I like: The photo stream at the top highlighting photos you were tagged in. There is clearly more of an emphasis on photos. Images are eye-catching and this new design provides more staying power for recent posts w/ photos….more opportunit...
High-end homes open this Sunday in Naperville
2010-11-26 21:43:00 The shopping frenzy of Black Friday is traditionally followed by a Bleak Sunday for home buyers seeking open houses to view. This year is no exception. In Naperville, for example, only six homes are open for viewing this weekend. Three of them are priced at upwards of $1 million, and all three have lingered on the market for some time, indicating that home buyers haven't felt the sense of urgency that overtakes other consumers on the day after Thanksgiving. The 7,000 square foot, 6-bedroom, 6 ½ bath builders model at 1903 Saddle Farm Ln is currently priced at $1,299,999.
