Bartlett Illinois Market Update by Price Range - July, August, September 2009
This post is actually in response to a lady asking a question on Trulia:
"We have had our house on the market now for 6 months without a single showing. Is this typical? We are at the 400-500 range, are none of these selling now?"
Answer: A very small percentage of this sales range has sold. Between the price range of $400,000 to $500,000 there have been only 5 sales during this last 3 month period.
Diligently trying to keep both buyers and sellers educated on the local Bartlett Illinois Home Sales and housing market has been my goal with regular posts. This market update gives you the number of homes that have sold by price range so you get a feel for the current sales activity. Which is up by the way - giving encouraging news!
30% over the last 3 months!
Is it the $8000 Tax Credit? Is it the lower interest rates? Or maybe just great values in the area?
For the Bartlett Illinois Home Sales from July to September 2009 you can clearly see that over 62% of the closed sales have been under the $300,000 price range. The lowest sales price was $125,000 and the highest sales price was $487,500.
How can you use this information if you are a buyer? The price range that you are thinking of purchasing in, is it one of the more active price areas of the market? It would be telling you that there are many other buyers also in your price range all looking for that 'deal.'
How can this information help you if you are a seller? If you are planning on selling your home soon, you can see which price ranges are most active. Clearly the price range above $350,000 has been non-existent and rarely sales have occurred. You might have to plan accordingly for extra market time. As a seller, you have to be sure that your homes curb appeal and presentation is 'spot on'. in a market like this. Possibly some extra updates and staging might be required before you put your home on the market. Do you know what the average market time is for your price range?
Hey Lyn, what about foreclosures? Of those 74 total sales only 15 were foreclosures and 6 were short sales. Unsubstantiated thinking that foreclosures are making up a majority of the marketplace.

IL is one of the most searched states on REindex.com. There must be something going on there.
Lyn - Here in Tuolumne County CA we are seeing similar trends as regards to activity in price range. We do offer single family residences on acreage and those sales drive up the median price. Still there are some fantastic deals on the market right now, everywhere you look. Thanks for posting your market info.
Heath, thanks for that info, I'll check it out. Maybe because of Chicago?
Kathie, great deals are still available. Thanks for coming by.
