We are fortunate here in Lake County. We do have foreclosures and 'short sales' and our property prices are down, but for several reasons we don't have 'the downward spiral in prices that a lot of the country is suffering. We are close to two major cities, Chicago and Milwaukee and we are a growing county. What we are seeing is a lot of people simply making the decision to not sell unless they have to. The market is great for first time buyers, people who are in interested in buying property for an investment and people who are buying a more expensive house. So if you fit any of these categories, this is your time. If you decide to sell your property, you need to price it based on the market today and make sure it is in tip-top shape.

We still have a lot of foreclosures and short sales out ther, so there are still some really great buys especially for first time buyers and real estate investors.

These are not for everybody. If you are thinking about making a move, this could be the perfect time for you. Call for a FREE CONSULTATION to find out what your options are.
