Mount Prospect Real Estate is steadily selling, it has always been a good area.  The Mount Prospect area is not improving as much as the surrounding area.  There are a lot of deals on condos and townhomes in Mount Prospect.  The reason for that was the boom they had in the downtown areas.   Once there is a good sign of stability in all the markets things will sell fast.  I wish I was in the market to buy now.  Hang in there Mount Prospect!

Buffalo Grove Real Estate is on its way to stabilizing. There is definitely an improvement in 2009 over 2008 for the all Buffalo Grove single family and townhomes.  Last year the rate under contract was only about 10%.  There are less on the market now than last year!  Also the market time has reduced which is a great sign of a bottom.  Buffalo Grove is a great area and will soon start to normalize along with the rest of the Northwest suburbs!

Barrington Real Estate is a different market than the normal surrounding areas.  There is less on the market now than a year ago.  The average market time is also down!  Those are both great signs of a bottom!  Real Estate in Barrington doesn’t have many opportunities for the typical first time buyer.  Most of the homes in Barrington are way out of the reach for first time buyers, that is why the activity is slower than normal.  Barrington homes for sale are still very high for single family.  It is a great area and investment for the future.  I can’t believe some of the deals that are going on!!  Once the market stabilizes then this market will follow.
