Could be worse.
Look ate Carlocks 61725, I lost 10.000 on my house as did most all sellers
Interesting last week I don’t usually look at listing and I saw some condo’s for sale that I looked at back in about 2004. They appeared to be selling for less now than back in 2004.
The was an article quoting the local realtor association in the Pantagraph recently staying home prices and sales volume is down. I know in my neighborhood houses are not selling for what they were purchased. Interest rates are rising which scares buyers.

Everything is fine, Diane. Just ask the pom-pom cheerleaders at the Chamber of Commerce, EDC, BN Advantage, and both city halls. We’re a destination! Haha. Right!
The Trump effect has been detrimental the last two summers. There was consistent growth 2012-2016.
This is your last stupid comment. Either contribute intelligently or get deleted.
The TDS is quite severe in him – we have to remember at stage 4 they lose all ability to reason intelligently at all and simply shriek RUSSIA! or remain in a state of delusion as to how the overall “Trump-effect” has been to the betterment of the country as a whole in almost universal ways. This poor guy simply can’t comprehend that Democrat/socialist type areas such as many parts of Illinois and California will not be able to benefit from the overall improvements unless they reign in their leftist “leaders”.
So what, you delete anyone you disagree with? Trump promised 4 percent growth and is touting low unemployment. That’s far from what is actually happening. Trump’s foolish tariffs are hurting farmers in Illinois right this moment as I write. His tariffs are also hurting American manufacturers in Illinois and around the country.
We shriek Russia? Well Trump seems to be compromised by Russia each and every day. His performance at Helsinki was incredibly damaging to this country.
Finally the price of real estate and homes have many factors that go into why it selling for a certain price, one being location, there are other factors that you not discussing here like market forces in the area.
Democrats are not “socialist” “type”, when you start labeling the opposition as such you lose your credibility. As for the supposed Trump “derangement” syndrome there must be a lot of people who “suffer” from this–Trump’s negatives are high especially after his European trip and surrender to Putin.
Where do you get news? Yes the projected GDP growth is 4%. Unemployment is at record lows – especially for minorities. Is being uniformed a group sort you participate in?
You need to look at the higher priced homes to see the price collapse. Last time I checked there was an approximate 4 year supply of homes for sale above a price point of $300,000.
I was taking a kid to visit his friend in an expensive East side neighborhood recently. Of the approximately 50 houses I drove past, I counted 9 for sale. I looked the area up on Zillow, and NONE of these houses are being listed for what they were purchased for, and some listing prices were down over $200K from previous sale data. Now this was in the “North of $500K” range, which is a tough spot to be in, but the over-all market is scary, to be sure.
Just wait until the City gets the new EAV numbers for budgeting!
I live in Hawthorne Hills. Bought for $362,000 in 2008. I’ve invested over $100,000 in improvements (2 additions and remodeling). Started out listing at $447,000 about 2 years ago. After many price drops ending at $349,000 a few months ago and no offers, we pulled house off the market. It’s THAT bad on the NE side of town….
