You will see that the number will steadily go up each month.  Get with your loan officer to get approval before you miss out on your dream home.  This needs to go with an offer.  The seller will not accept without it in most cases, unless you have cash, and then you will need a letter from your bank showing that you have the funds available.

Check back with us every Saturday for the Fox Valley home prices.

How many VA deals closed in week 32?  Shortly we will break it down for you what types of financing was chosen most this week.  There are many veterans that live in the Fox Valley area.  We do not know how many VA offers were not accepted, but we do know how many closed this week.
First we will talk about new listings for the week.  New listings were down.  251 this week compared to 264 the week before.  This is making a low inventory situation even worse.
Closed listings were also down.  291 this week compared to 340 the week before.  This will increase as we get closer to the end of the month.

Totals were down in each one.  We do not know how many VA loan offers are not getting accepted, but the trend you can see is seller’s are accepting more Conventional loans then anything else.  Hopefully, it is not that agents are shying away from VA loans because they think they will be  hard or take longer to close.  If a home is in good condition there should be no problem with getting a VA loan approved.  Using a lender that is familiar with the process is very important.

We started out the year ahead with closed homes.  Deals that were accepted in 2020 that closed in the beginning of the year.  There is usually a gap between new and closed, but not this year.
It continues to be a seller’s market.  We are still seeing multiple offers, but it is not as intense.  We are starting to see price reductions on some of the higher priced homes.

Call us at 630-503-6555 with all your real estate questions.  Your goal is our goal.  We will do everything we can to help you reach your goal.

Request a home valuation

if you are thinking about selling your home.  Give us some information about what has been recently updated.  We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you the expenses to sell so you can see where you are at.  This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms.

If you are thinking about buying a home, you will want to find a loan officer that will put you through the process to get pre approved.  Getting pre-qualified just is not enough anymore when you are going to be up against multiple offers.  Seller’s will be confident in accepting an offer with a pre approval before they accept an offer with a buyer that has not gone through the process.

We can make recommendations of loan officers, real estate attorneys and home inspectors that we have successfully used in the post.  You can decide who you would like to work with.

How many VA deals closed in week 32.  We hope more agents will get informed about VA loans so they will be more confident in accepting a VA offer.  Our veterans deserve to be able to use their benefits.

Have a great week!

You can see on the contracts accepted column, that contracts have been accepted more than once on a home.  Sometimes because of inspection issues, appraisal issues or loan did not get approved.

Closed is the most important column. These are actual numbers.  At the end of each month I will compare to 2020 and 2019 so you can get a better idea of how this year is going.

I thought I would add financing this week so you can see what is happening.  I did this a little later this morning than my first download so we have 2 more than what is listed above.

The one on the right is VA financing.  There were 4 with $417,950 the median closed price.

It is important to see the breakdown of what happening right now.  I will continue to list this so you can see if things start to change.

Contracts accepted this week

Contracts accepted this week were down.  270 this week compared to 325 the week before.  Last week new listings were down so that makes sense.

2021 Real Estate Market Update Week 27-Contracts accepted this week

Look at the communities seller’s accepted the most contracts:

No short sales were accepted by seller’s this week.  With the prices going up, even if they need to sell because of not working, most likely they can sell without having to go that route.

Also, seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer’s selling and closing on their current home. 2 with a kick-out clause of 24 hours.

2021 real estate market update by the month

Month                  New     Closed     Contracts accepted

January                 543           649                 829

February               561           604                 778

Totals                 5928         6398                7679

Closed is the most important column to look at.  We started ahead at the beginning of the year with inventory left over from the previous year.  Not all of the contracts accepted will end up closing.  Sometimes they come back on the market after home inspection/attorney review period of after the appraisal comes in.   Prices have increased, and the appraisals don’t always match, so if they can’t come to an agreement the home goes back on the market.

It continues to be a seller’s market.

Contact us

Call us at 630-503-6555 with all your real estate questions.  Your goal is our goal.  We will do everything we can to help you reach your goal.

Thinking about selling this year?  Request a home valuation and let us know a little bit about your home and what you have updated.  We will let you know what it is worth in today’s market and provide you with a net proceeds that shows you the expenses to sell.  This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms so you can make a good decision.

If you are thinking about buying a home this year you have to call a loan officer and get them all your financial information so they can get you pre approved.  Pre qualify will not do in today’s market.  You will probably be up against other offers when you do find a home so you want to let the seller’s know that you did this extra step.

If you need recommendations for loan officers, real estate attorneys and home inspectors just let us know and we will recommend a few for you to choose from.
