Talk to your loan officer to see what interest rate they will be offering you.  I depends on your credit score.  If you need to improve your score talk to them and they will tell you what to do.

As you can see above, the most common loan type seller’s are looking for right now is a Conventional loan. It helps to get familiar with the different types of loans.

Take the extra step and get all your financial information to a loan officer and have them put you through underwriting so you know how much you are approved for before looking at homes.  It will put you in a better position if you are up against other offers.  I think they should of been doing this all along.  It is hard to wait until a week before closing to find out you are approved.  Sometimes there is last minute things that come up and so late in the game are hard to resolve so your closing date gets moved.

Request a home valuation if you are thinking about selling.  Tell us a little bit about your home and what has been recently updated.  We will let you know an estimate of what it might sell for and show you an estimate of 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.

You can click on anything that is underlined here to go to the site for the information.  If there is other information that you are looking for please let us know so we can point you in the right direction.

Check with your loan officer to see what interest rate they will be offering you.  It depends on your credit score.  If you need to improve your score they can help you.

Some lenders are offering to put you through underwriting when you start the process of wanting to buy a home.  Get then all your financial information.  This takes out all the guess work so you and a seller know that you are approved for a loan up to a certain price.  If the home inspection goes well and the appraisal comes in at the contract price you are set to go and can close soon.  Home inspections are not cheap.  Why not get approved so you don’t have to worry that you are spending money on it when you don’t know if you will get approved.

Request a home valuation to see what your home is worth in today’s market.  Tell us a little bit about your home and what has recently been updated.  We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you an estimate of what it will cost to sell your home.  This will be updated when an offer comes in and we know all the terms.

You can set up an email alert so you will receive listings as soon as they hit the market.

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.

Click on anything that is underlined to take you to the site to get the information.  If there is any other information that you are looking for just let us know.

Check with your loan officer to see what interest rates they are offering you.  It depends on your credit score what interest rate you will be offered. They can help you bring up your score if you need to improve it. 

Get the loan officer all your financial information so they can run you through underwriting so you are ready to go.  When you find a house all you will need to do is home inspection/attorney review, and then you will be ready to order the appraisal.  Just talking to them over the phone and giving them your information isn’t good enough anymore.  You need to take this extra step to get ready before looking for homes.

Request a home valuation if you are thinking about selling your home.  Let us know about your home and what has recently been updated.  We will provide you with a net proceeds that shows you an estimate of the expenses to sell.  When an offer comes in we will update this when we know all the terms.

Contracts accepted this week

Fox Valley home prices April 2 2022-Contracts accepted this week

Contracts accepted this week were consistent.  220 this week compared to 222 the previous week.  That is pretty consistent.  They would be higher though with more listings.  We are still dealing with not enough homes for the buyers that are out there looking.

New listings has decreased every year.  This is why prices have increased.

More of the homes that have gone under contract that actually closed has increased every year.  It has helped that loan officers are putting buyer’s through underwriting instead of just getting their information over the phone and checking their credit.  We know the buyer’s are good to go and just need to make sure the appraisal works out and no issues with title.

Down payment assistance

IHDA programs

Contact your loan officer to see what interest rates you will be offered.  It depends on your credit score.  They can also help you bring up your score if it needs a little help.  

This is a fast paced market.  If you wait until the weekend you might lose out on a chance for a home. 

It is nice for seller’s right now because you are not inconvenienced for a length of time drug out for weeks with occasional showings.  If it is priced right it will sell.  Once you get past the home inspection after accepting a contract the next person to come through will be the appraiser. 

We will guide you through the process and work with your real estate attorney on any issues that might come up with the home inspection and attorney review.

We can set you up for email alerts that will automatically email you listings of homes with your criteria as soon as they hit the market.
