Market update Fox Valley week 40.  New listings were up almost 11%.  253 single family  homes this week compared to 228 the week before.

Closed listings of single family homes were up 41.60%.  371 this week compared to 262 the week before.  I am including this week in the September totals because the last 3 business days of the month were Monday through Wednesday.  They were likely the busiest days of the month for closings.  Buyers want to close at the end of the month so they bring in less money to closing for interest for the month.

Take a look at the communities that had the most activity this week:

Aurora-New 27 $134,999-$549,900

            Closed-55 $100,000-$575,000

Batavia-New 9 $200,000-$569,000

             Closed-`6 $161,000-$585,879

                     Closed-18 $200,000-$470,000

             Closed-23 $124,000-$1.000.000

Contracts accepted this week on single family homes

Market update Fox Valley week 40-Contracts accepted this week

Contracts accepted this week are down almost 4%.  292 contracts accepted this week compared to 304 the week before.  That is not down very much and it most likely is due to the continued extremely low inventory of homes for buyers to even look at.  Especially in the price range under $200,000.  There is just not much there.

Look at the communities that sellers accepted the most contracts:

Aurora-47                                Batavia-13

Bolingbrook-22                        Geneva-11

Montgomery-11                       Naperville-44

Oswego-18                               Plainfield-34

St Charles/Campton Hills-20    Yorkville-14

No short sales were accepted by sellers this week.

Sellers accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home.  10 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 11 with 48 hours and 6 with 24 hours.

Also, sellers accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer selling and closing on their current home.  3 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 5 with 48 hours and 2 with 24 hours.

Sellers have confidence in the market to accept contingencies on buyers homes.

2020 is the best year out of the 3 for closings so far and that is the one to really focus on.  These are real numbers. Facts of what the market did.

2019 is the best year for new listings.  These numbers are not facts.  Some of these new listings can be relisted again as a new listing even if they have already been on the market.

2018 is the best year for contracts accepted.  These numbers are also not facts.  It is great that that many buyers were ready and willing to write an offer.  Some of these contracts do not make it past the home inspection and attorney review.  They can go back on the market and then can get another contract accepted on them.  This is why these numbers are so far apart.
