Home Owner answered:

Some people selling their homes will do a lease with option to buy. Sellers are pretty flexible these days, so if you find a house you like it might be worth asking, in addition to the government programs. - Fri Aug 8 2008, 18:42

Parking at Metra station in Cary,IL - how early you need to be there to find a spot?

Asked Tue Nov 6 2007, 09:40 by Hulietaa - Cary - Traffic & Public Transportation - 5 answers

Home Owner answered:

It's absolutely doable. I did it for 5 years before we recently relocated out of Illinois. I actually enjoyed my train time as it was the only 'alone' time I would get in a day. You will want to get there fairly early (before the 7:42 train for sure) as it fills up pretty quickly. There is an overflow lot, but it's a hike. Good luck! - Fri May 23 2008, 11:49

Shouldn't SSA taxes be included in tax price of listings?

Asked Sat Mar 29 2008, 10:16 by Jennifer - Cary - Home Buying - 3 answers

Home Owner answered:

We have our house listed in Cary and the listed taxes include the full SSA amount. Unfortunately, I've noticed that a couple realtors in the area aren't very scrupulous and will, for example, list a 3 BR home with a loft as a 4 BR, or exclude the SSA from the total taxes, or say a house is on a cul de sac when it's not. But, 10k in taxes for a house listed at 300k is high. We're listed a bit higher than that (well below assessed value, but what can you do these days?) and our taxes (with SSA) are substantially lower than 10k. You can always check the taxes on a property on the county's website to double check what the listing says.

Cary is wonderful. We loved living there so much and hated to leave. I do think it's the best place to live in McHenry County - it's got great people, great schools, and a great location. Don't let one realtor or one listing turn you off on the whole town. Good luck finding a house! - Fri May 23 2008, 11:46
