Thoughts on the local real estate market-now-as well as the next few months.
Ok-the data just came out for the most recent sales figures and like all data-you can read into it what you want.
The number of homes currently for sale, the inventory, is still down quite a bit. For the month of Sept for instance, we saw the number of new homes coming on the market compared to Sept 2012 show:
Dunlap-Down 51%
Washington-Down 12%
Morton-Down 24%
Germantown Hills-Up 14%
Metamora-Up 27%
Peoria-Up 25%
One thing to keep in mind for any of the community specific numbers is that the smaller the community, the fewer the the number of transactions it takes to show an increase or decrease. For example, using the same cities I cited in the report above, the actual numbers show:
Dunlap-29 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 14 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Washington-41 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 36 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Morton-29 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 22 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Germantown Hills-7 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 8 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Metamora-11 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 14 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Peoria-183 new homes listed in Sept 2012 and 229 new homes listed in Sept 2013
Year to date data for the same communities, compared to the same time frame last year, show the following.
Dunlap-New listings down 24%, Sales down 28%, Sales Price up 10%, Days on Market down 37%
Washington-New listings down .5%, Sales down 5.7%, Sales Price up 4.%, Days on Market down 27%
Morton-New listings down 3%, Sales down 10%, Sales Price down 10%, Days on Market down 36%
Germantown-New listings down 11%, Sales down 12%, Sales Price up 2%, Days on Market up 15%
Metamora-New listings down 13%, Sales down 8%, Sales Price down 7%, Days on Market down 28%
Peoria- New listings down 13%, Sales down 8%, Sales Price down 7%, Days on Market down 28%

Reason #2 I Love living in Central Illinois
We have Octoberfest....in September.
.JPG)
.JPG)
This past weekend we had some beautiful weather, the sun was shining, and everyone was a little more German down on the riverfront to celebrate Octoberfest. Three days of fun, food, carnival rides, log sawing, sausage eating and dancing going on.
Reason #1 Why I like living in Central Illinois
We have a sense of humor. :) Maybe it's because of our link to being the home town of Richard Pryor or Sam Kinison, but I don't think we are afraid to laugh-sometimes at ourselves. I had to repost this link that mentions one of the may great attributes of calling the Peoria area home that appeared in a satirical news feed from The Onion. It reported that we have, not one-but TWO Buffalo Wild Wings. :) To see the article, just click on the link here.

WANTED...more homes for sale!
Here we are, mid March, and there certainly appears to be a shortage of available homes in the $400K and up price range in the Dunlap area. There are plenty of new holes in the ground for new homes being started, many of them between the $250K to $375K price range, but we are still experiencing a current short fall of available homes. If you are thinking of selling and your home meets this criteria-give me a call because I have a lot of clients that just can't quite seem to find the perfect match yet!
