What are you looking for? Do you want a newer home?

Mike

Hi Olivya, I wish I could give you a clear cut number, but this is not how it works .... Each home is different, location is different, lot size is different, and although the homes may all have 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, they may have a 2 or 3 car garage, be on a larger lot, or a lot on a cul de sac, or even golf course, the age of the home the upgrades and updates and yes then there are new constructions as well.

I just pulled just active, i.e. available properties with your small a.m. specifications and only in Lake County and the asking prices range from 350 K to 732,990 $ so this spread alone tells the story...

So for you as the buyer, you need to look at your finances at this time and your needs....
In other words what is your current available down payment, how much will the lender let your borrow, with that you will reach a potential purchase price, then you want to look what your monthly payments and expenses would be and you can then determine what you would be most comfortable with!!!

Once you have set your preferred price range, then you add to that your needs, do you need 4 bedrooms and I am assuming you do, and 2 1/2 baths, but do you want a large kitchen, do you prefer a home with a
nice family room/great room on the first floor, would you prefer a home with a basement (unfinished or finished etc. etc.) And you also want to look at the taxes which also vary of course!

If you need certain schools you should make sure that the agent assisting you as your Buyers Agent will know that from the start and compare only homes in your needed school districts or particular high school etc.
I currently have a beautiful home listed for sale in Buffalo Grove (4 bedr. plus office or 5 bedrooms, LR, DR,
Great Room, huge kitchen, almost 1/2 acre on Golf Course) And there are many others I could e-mail you for your perusal and then show you the ones you are most interested in.

By the way are you a first time home buyer or do you have property to sell, as this will make a difference how we would approach the home search.
Let me know if I can assist you and feel free to contact me anytime.

Hi Olivya,

There is a big difference in the price of 4br/2.1ba homes in Buffalo Grove mainly because of the high schools.
In the last 3mos sold homes range from 193,000-752,000. The lower end being Buffalo Grove HS and the higher end being in Stevenson HS. Which high school are you interested in, because you'll get a much truer avg when looking in one high school area or the other.
