I don’t REALLY want to work on Saturday. But I’m a REALTOR. That means I work around YOUR schedule. So on Saturdays I’m going to put out a STATurday post combining both my love of real estate stats with my indifference to working on Saturdays. This is week one:
Will County sales activity in the last 365 days compared to that of the prior 365. You’ll see significant increases in the sub $115,000 market and fewer sales in the $130,000- $220,000 ranges. Most of the $220,000 to $415,000 ranges saw very similar numbers.
Check it out in pdf form!

Got the following email last night. It has been altered only to protect the innocent (or guilty- jury’s still out).
Jim,
Unfortunately, in the past (Home inspector) & (Seller) had a difference of opinion/disagreement when it came to an inspection (home inspector) had completed in one of (seller’s) past properties. So from that point forward (Seller) chose to no longer allow (home inspector) to inspect his properties. So we ask that (Buyers) please find a different inspector to inspect the property.
I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause your clients or (Home inspector). I thank you kindly in advance for you understanding!
Sincerely,
(Agent of seller)
Wow. Just wow. If a seller is so frightened of the house he/she/they is selling, what should one do?
What would you do in this instance if you were my buyer?

Avid readers here know I love baseball. They know that I’ll try to make the ocassional parrallel between it and real estate. Today’s blog is no exception. Who is Johnny Damon? He’s, of course, a baseball player. He’s an outfielder, a career .286 hitter, and a guy who will probably end his career as a possible hall of famer (borderline, maybe- but that debate for another day and forum).
Why do I feel like the Grundy County real estate version of him? Mr. Damon came to mind as a guy who went from a really good team to
Am I Grundy County real estate's version of Johnny Damon?
the best team at age 32, like me. Damon was a member of the Boston Red Sox and helped break the ‘Curse of the Bambino’ in 2004, helping his team win the World Series. The Red Sox are widely considered baseball’s “next-best” organization; second only to the New York Yankees. Of course, at age 32, Damon left Boston for his fourth team, the Yankees.
Recently, I left my real estate career’s third team in favor of Grundy County’s #1 home seller, RE/MAX Top Properties. Leaving the team that’s a close second in that market for the team that is #1 reminded me of Johnny and the move he made at the same age. I’m not sure if there’s a real estate hall of fame anywhere that I may one day qualify for, but I do think that my recent move helps me as an agent, and far more importantly, give you, my buyers and sellers significantly better chances of success!
