Oak Park Real Estate Market Conditions

Good News for Oak Park Real Estate Market!

Analysis: There are currently 119 single family homes on the market in Oak Park, IL and 105 homes that have accepted contracts.  There is an 88% ratio of homes that are active (for sale) to those that are under contract (have accepted contracts). This ratio points to a strong local real estate market where inventories will continue to shrink.

45 homes are being sold each month in the village and inventories are at a low 2.62 months.  This means that if no homes were to come on the market it would take around 2 1/5 months to clear out all of the current inventory.  It is a strong sellers market here and home prices will continue to rise as long as these continue to persist.

31% more homes closed in the last 6 months of 2013 versus the same period in 2012.  Which again points to an improving market.

 

Active: 119

MLStown back on Flat Fee MLS Scene

MLStown.com has once again become an active site for flat fee mls listings.  

According to Scott Berg, the sites owner, it had been idled years ago based on proposed rules that would eliminate the companies ability to use a url with the term mls in it.

Those rules never really took hold but the threat had caused them to develop our BergProperties site.  

MLStown will be a conduit for all support and information for "for sale by owner" services.

Berg Properties has recently exited the states of Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas deciding to focus their efforts in the Chicago Metro Area.  

"Although we no longer do business outside Illinois we are happy to refer interested customers to the top flat fee brokers that cover other areas" states Berg.
