Homer Glen Homes For Sale Today - 12/9/11

I'm kind of surprised at the amount of buyers I'm working with and the amount of showings some of my listings are getting at this time of year.  Sometimes the market shuts down in Illinois during the winter months, especially between Thanksgiving and New Year's.  I think low interest rates plus low prices are getting the buyers out - this is a great opportunity and I wish I could buy a bunch of homes myself right now.

 As of today's date, there are currently 207 Homer Glen homes up for sale.  I always like to show the extremes, so the extreme low price for a Homer Glen home today is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch home in Pebble Creek for $129,900.  This is a short sale that is remodeled and looks to be a great deal.  However, banks don't always accept some of the low prices that agents list their short sale listings at.  So until the bank accepts an offer, we won't know if this price will stand until it closes.

On the other extreme, the most expensive Homer Glen home is priced at $1,400,000.  It is a 6,000 sq. ft. home with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.  It is one of 3 homes priced over $1,000,000.

New Page for Mokena Homes

There's a new webpage created for Mokena homes.  It is part of the Chicago Suburbs Real Estate website and the page shows a lot of information on the growing village of Mokena, including available homes for sale without having to do a search.  Of course, if you want a more detailed search you can use the Mokena MLS search and customize it how you want.

The average price of homes in Mokena in the 3rd quarter of 2011 is $356,812, which is a 2.4% increase comparing the 3rd quarter of 2010, showing that Mokena has not lost value like many other southwest suburbs, some going down in value by double digits.

Some people consider Mokena to be "too far out" but it has a Metra train line that goes downtown, making it convenient enough to live in this great village and still be able to work in Chicago.  Check out the links above to see the new Mokena page.
