Mike Stodola answered:
Believe it or not the price have come down, but many sellers are still not realistic with their pricing. In 2008 the average list price in those areas was 1.16 Million. Homes listed today in those areas is now $815k. That's a $300,000 drop in listing price. The average sales price has also dropped by 27% in the same time period. Builders I work with in that area have been dropping their prices by similar amounts in the last year or two. That said, many sellers still aren't realistic and their homes are sitting there, many times vacant. Sometimes it takes a realistic offer being placed on their home in order for them to come down to Earth on pricing and the current market. I have a list of motivated sellers of homes between $750,000 and $1.5M in Highland Park and Northbrook. Is there a place I can e-mail it?

Thanks,
Mike

p.s. I work with a lender who has amazing new Jumbo loans available. - Thu Dec 3 2009, 07:55
