12 7 19 Market Update Fox Valley
12 7 19 market update Fox Valley. New listings of single family homes were significantly up this week. 173 this week compared to 100 the week before. We are in the first week of December and had a full week. Last week was a holiday week and short a couple of business days. That really has an impact on activity. Above we have pictures you should be able to click on to make larger. The first ones shows the activity for the week. The next 2 show the active listings of single family homes in Kane and Kendall Counties. It is broken down so you can see how many homes are available in each price range. Both of those show that the price range $250,000-$299,999 have the most homes. If that is not your price range you can see the amount of homes to see are more limited.
Closed single family homes this week were slightly down. 142 this week compared to 154 the week before. It is the beginning of the month. Most buyers prefer to close closer to the end of the month.
Take a look at the communities this week with the most activity:
Aurora-New 23 $123,900-$469,000

Contracts accepted this week
Contracts accepted this week on single family homes were pretty consistent with the week before. 127 this week compared to 133 the week before. These numbers are low though. You have to go back to January to see these numbers. There is still activity but nothing like Spring or Summer markets. Now is the time pricing your home is most important. If you are overpriced it will just sit there.
Look at the communities this week that sellers accepted the most contracts:
Aurora-24 Bolingbrook-12
Naperville-17 Plainfield-17
These are the communities that consistently do the most activity. I am surprised St Charles is not one of them listed here.
There were 3 short sales accepted this week. 2 in Bolingbrook and 1 in Plainfield. Now they will be submitted to the lender to see if they will also accept as written.
Sellers accepted contracts that are contingent on the buyer closing on their current home. 2 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours, 3 with 48 hours and 1 with 24 hours.
Contracts were also accepted by sellers that are contingent on the buyer selling and closing on their current home. 3 with a kick-out clause of 72 hours and 2 with 48 hours.
