Quick market overview


The graph to the left shows the number of homes on the market (red), the number that are under contract (blue) and the number that closed that month (green).

The trend that is shown in this graph shows that there is an increasing inventory in Arlington Heights. Seller have been feeling this for some time now as market times have increased. The average days on market has gone from 42 in Nov '05 to 64 in Nov '06. This is a 50% increase in the time it will take for your home to sell.

Now on the flip side things are actually not all that bad. These numbers don't look good comapred to the last couple of years, but in reality they are not all that bad. We are still seeing average home prices increase and homes that are priced correctly are still selling.
