Hawthorn Woods Real Estate Market  5/5/2009

Whether you are in the market to buy a home  in Hawthorn Woods or to sell your current Hawthorn Woods home, it is important to keep abreast of  the Hawthorn Woods market statistics (or at least to work with a knowledgeable REALTOR who does). Newspapers, national magazines, and television news report on regional and national trends, but don't really do the best job of explaining the local real estate market in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois. The chart below analyzes the 8 homes that closed in 2009 in Hawthorn woods between $450,000 and $825,000.       What do these statistics mean to the sellers of these homes in Hawthorn Woods?  I try explain to my Hawthorn Woods  sellers that it is very important to price your home right on the target.  One of the above Hawthorn Woods homes took 542 days to sell. The sellers of these 8 Hawthown Woods homes  on average received 81.29% of the current asking price.    If the property was priced correctly at the beginning, the sellers would have received closer to their asking price, in a much short time frame.

What do these statistics mean to the potential buyers of Hawthorn Woods... Bottom line-there are great homes at substantially reduced prices in Hawthorn Woods, Illinois. Call me and I can tell you about which Hawthorn Woods homes are foreclosures and short sales, need more work, or are just drop dead  gorgeous but at the same time are great deals.  If you would like more information about Hawthorn Woods,  I have provided you with my previous Hawthorn Woods post that gives an overview of this wonderful community.
