With 1/2 of 2008 behind us, Elk Grove Real Estate and Homes have had the same results as other area towns. Many available (active) listings, and not a whole lot of sales. There are people selling, but it is at extremely reasonable prices. If you put your home on the market right now, and it is even just a little overpriced it won’t go anywhere. But when you price correctly, you still can find the right buyer. It may just take a bit longer. But you have to be priced right for when that buyer does come along, or else they will just keep looking.

Elk Grove appears to be doing better during this slow period. Percentage wise there are more listings under contract and closed for the past 3 months than in many of the other Northwest Suburbs. Average market times are also a bit lower, just over 150 days for available listings. Still clearly a buyer’s market though.
