How many homes closed 2,000 square feet or more week 33
How many homes closed 2,000 square feet or more week 33. So many people are looking for more space. Can they find it in the price range they are looking for? We will get into that shortly.
New listings of single family homes were pretty consistent with the week before. 256 this week compared to 251 the week before. We would love to see more, but consistency is good.
Closed single family homes this week were also, not far off of last week. 299 this week compared to 291 the week before. Next week is the last full week of the month so they should increase.
Take a look at the communities with the most activity this week:
Aurora-New 46 $145,000-$770,000
Closed-62 $139,000-$595,000
Bolingbrook-New 16 $249,000-$899,000
Closed-23 $175,000-$511,000
Geneva-New 9 $268,900-$1,200,000
Closed-12 $284,000-$766,337
Naperville-New 42 $250,000-$1,625,000
Closed-55 $350,000-$2,400,000
Oswego-New 16 $299,999-$449,990

Financing, median list and closed price, 2,000 square feet or more closed this week
Median list price this week $355,000, last week $361,470. Median closed price $359,900, last week $375,000. These numbers go up and down each week, but they do not change drastically.
Homes that closed using Conventional this week 218, last week 221. Cash this week 24, last week 33.
Closed homes using FHA financing this week 47, last week 26. VA this week 10, last week 9.
Seller’s are still choosing Conventional financing over anything else. I am encouraged to see FHA numbers going up. Some buyer’s that have to go FHA have given up. They are tired of losing out to buyer’s using Conventional financing with multiple offer situations.
Out of 299 homes that closed this week 191 of them were 2,000 square feet or more. Median list price is $425,000, closed price is $420,000. Minimum list price $220,000, closed price $242,000. So many people are looking for more space since the pandemic. This gives you an idea of what price that will cost you. If you are below this price it will be hard to find. You might need to adjust the criteria for the home you are looking for.
Contracts accepted this week
Contracts accepted this week on single family home were consistent. 300 this week compared to 303 the week before. The market is staying steady. There might not be as many offers with multiple offer situations, but buyer’s are still out there looking.
Look at the communities seller’s accepted the most contracts:
Aurora-51 Batavia-10
Bolingbrook-24 Montgomery-13
Naperville-33 Oswego-10
Plainfield-37 St Charles-26
Sycamore-10 West Chicago-11
Winfield-14 Yorkville-11
There were no short sales accepted by seller’s this week. Most people that are in a bind, and need to sell do not have to go through the short sale process with the prices that have increased.
Seller’s accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home. 5 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 4 with 48 hours and 3 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, 8 with 48 hours and 2 with 24 hours.
There was 1 that did not have a kick-out clause that they marked. So we don’t know about that one.

We started out the year with closings from 2020. They received a contract in 2020 but did not close until 2021. That is why the closed column is more than the new listings. You can see it has been a really tight market. Normally you would see more new listings than closings.
It still remains a seller’s market. There might be fewer offers with multiple offer situations, but there are still a lot of buyer’s out there ready to go.
There has been an extreme shortage of housing across the country. Some new homes have been built in our area that have helped.
