Buffalo Grove homes for Sale December 2011. 

As you can imagine,  many Buffalo Grove sellers took their home off the holidays for the Holiday Season.   It's hard enough keeping your home clean when your kids are at school everyday, but when kids are on vacation,  home from College, sometimes its just plain impossible to coordinate the real estate showings, especially when you are notified of a showing within just minutes of the time the so called buyer wants to see your home.  I have 3 teenage boys and if I had to wake them up, have them clean up their room, and get out of the house before 10:00, I would probably be boycotted as their mom.  So sellers,  I understand if you need some time off from selling your home! 

For those sellers who are empty nesters,  this is the time to keep your home on the market.  Buffalo Grove inventory is down and if there are any serious Buffalo Grove buyers...  ie.. relocation buyers,  your home may be their next dream home. 

Currently,  there are 133 Buffalo Grove  homes for sale ranging from $113,000 to $996,000.  If you want to see the homes on the market please feel free to peruse my website...

Buffalo Grove Homes for sale between $113000 and $250,000

Buffalo Grove homes for sale between $251,000 and $350,000

Whether you are looking for a home for rent in Buffalo Grove, a townhome for rent, or a condo for rent,  I have a pulse on the Buffalo Grove rental market 

Here is my advice to Renters....

You have to move fast! -   you aren't the only one who needs a rental home in Buffalo Grove.   Last week I received a call from someone you was renting a home in Buffalo Grove and the Sheriff came to the door to evict them from the rental home they had leased.     They had been making the lease payments on a timely basis to their landlord, but the landlord was pocketing the rent, and not paying his mortgage, knowing his home was going to be foreclosed.  It is important to check the financial status of the lessor,  just like he checks out the financial status of you.. the lessee.  The poor people who called me had to find a new rental very quickly! 

Additionally,  remember that  good homes for rent go very quickly.  Last year I listed a home for rent for $2500 and because it was listed for rent in a good school district,  their was a high demand for the home.  It actually rented for $300 over the asking price.  Two families had just moved here from out of the country and they bidded up the rental price of the home.  Lucky landlords!   Besides executives moving here for short term projects,  many people are renting in the interim when they are building their credit back up.   Additionally,  I work with many couples separating or divorcing who want to stay near their exspouse for the benefit of their children. 

I also recommend that you work with a Realtor who knows the area and the nuances of the subdivisions, associations, and condo buildings.    One time, a new client called me after she found out at the last minute that the building she was going to rent through another realtor didn't allow rentals unless they were grandfathered. 

Whether you want a two bedroom townhome for rent in Buffalo Grove,  or a 5 bedroom executive home in Buffalo Grove,  I will find one for you!
