The type of financing you use became a big deal in 2021.  There were so many multiple offer situations seller’s had a choice of which offer to accept, and of course, cash always came first.  Not everyone has cash to purchase so Conventional was their next choice.  It was hard for buyer’s to understand this at first.  We would tell them to also get pre approved for Conventional when they would show us that they were pre approved for FHA.

58 single family homes closed that were 2,000 square feet or more this week at a median price of $422,495, last week 98 closed at median price of $426,000.  The minimum price that closed this week was $152,000, last week it was $85,000.

Contracts accepted this week

Market update Fox Valley week 45-Contracts accepted this weekContracts accepted this week were also down this week just under 13%.  233 this week compared to 267 the week before.  Extremely low inventory and now this week going even lower does not help.  Buyers are putting in offers and having to deal with multiple offer situations.  Increasing prices also does not help.  With such low inventory prices have been going up higher and higher.  We are even having a hard time coming up with comparables for the increase in prices.

Look at the communities that sellers accepted the most contracts this week:

Aurora-38                                    Bolingbrook-15

Montgomery-10                           Naperville-33

Oswego-15                                   Plainfield-23

St Charles/Campton Hills-20        Sycamore-10

2 short sales were accepted by sellers this week.  1 each in Montgomery and Waterman.  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.  9 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 7 with 48 hours and 2 with 24 hours.

Also, sellers 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 also 2 with 48 hours.

July was the best month for new listings.  September was the best month for closed listings.  July was also the best month for contracts accepted.

Closed listings is the one to really look at.  This is actual numbers.  They definitely closed.  New listings sometimes get relisted as new even though they are not new to the market.  The same for contracts accepted. The might get accepted and don’t go through to closing and go back on the market.

July used to be a very slow month when most people were gone on vacation.  This year because of the pandemic July was very busy.  Some people do not realize how active the housing market has been throughout this year.
