Contracts accepted this week

Contracts accepted this week by seller’s on single family homes was pretty consistent.  322 this week compared to 321 the week before.  Consistency in the market is a wonderful thing.  Some talk about it slowing a bit.  Maybe there are not as many offers on a property as there was, but buyers are still out there looking to buy.  It continues to be a seller’s market here in the Fox Valley area of Illinois.

2021 Real Estate Market Update Week 29-Contracts accepted this week

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

Aurora-53                           Batavia-13

Bolingbrook-23                  Geneva-10

Montgomery-12                 Naperville-50

Oswego-14                         Plainfield-46

St Charles-27                   Yorkville-14

No short sales were accepted by seller’s this week.  That does not mean that they are not out there.  Most people that need to sell, that normally would be selling short, have had enough price appreciation that they can sell and payoff the loan. 

Seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home.  3 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 10 with 48 hours and 4 with 24 hours.

Also, seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer selling and closing on their current home.  2 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours and 3 with 48 hours.

So far June is the best month across the board.  Closed homes is the most important column to keep track of because this is actual numbers.  Some seller’s can accept a contract but because of many reasons it can go back on the market..

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.

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.

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.

Closed is the column to always pay the most attention too.  These are actual numbers. Some homes can go back on the market and then get another contract.

May looks to be the best month so far for closings.  It makes sense that March was the best month for contracts accepted.  You can see the difference though in how many of those closed.

You can see 2021 has had the most closed with the least new listings.  Buyers are ready, but sellers are not.  This is why we are having multiple offer situations.  It is a great time for sellers to sell!  If you are waiting for the right time to sell the time is now.

If you are thinking about buying a home this year you need to plan way in advance.  Get in touch with a loan officer that will take the next step and get you pre approved subject to finding the home.  You have to be ready to go in this market when you are up against so many other buyers submitting offers on the same home.  You need to look like the best offer.

Resources:

This market is very competitive for buyers.  You need to go look the day a home hits the market, and be ready to submit an offer right away.  If you blink it will be gone.

Are you thinking about buying a home this year? Plan way in advance.  You are up against a lot of competition.  You might need to put offers on a few homes before you get your offer accepted   You need to work with a lender that will pre approve you subject to finding the home.  It will take more than just a phone call.  You will need to submit all your financial information so make sure you have all that together.
