Market update Fox Valley May 30 2020.  New listings of single family homes were down 11% this week.  250 this week compared to 281 the week before.  This definitely does not help with the low inventory.  We need new listings.

Contacts accepted this week of single family homes were identical to the week before.  320 both weeks.  Spring market is continuing with a lot of activity.  Homes are selling fast if they are in good condition and priced right.  It is a great time to sell.
Look at the communities that sellers accepted the most contracts:
Aurora-42                                  Batavia-10
Bolingbrook-19                          Montgomery-15

Plainfield-43                              St Charles/Campton Hills-25
Sugar Grove-11                         West Chicago-17
3 short sales were accepted by sellers this week.  1 each in Bolingbrook, Naperville and West Chicago.  Now they will be submitted to the lender to see if they will also accept.
Sellers accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home.  6 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 22 with 48 hours and 4 with 24 hours.
Also, sellers accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer selling and closing on their current home.  6 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours and 5 with 48 hours.
This is a good sign sellers are confident in the market.  Back after the market drop in 2010 it took many years for sellers to accept a contract with a contingency of a sale of buyers home.
