WebHomeOfTheWeek.com - Downtown Westmont Condo

This weeks web home of the week is an amazing condo located in downtown Westmont. These condos are really setup more like townhomes. The first floor of the building contains shops - while the second floor (above the parking garage) has entrances to the units. This unit was previously a builders model and has hardwood floors, corian countertops, stainless steel appliances and a long list of upgrades. The price was recently reduced from $369,900 to $359,900.

There is an excellent opportunity to get a great property for a great value here. You can walk to the train station and all the shops in downtown westmont. Although the property is listed at $359,900 - based on my own research into comparable sales, I see the value between $300,000 to $325,000. The property is a potential short sale - so you may be able to offer even less. But that all depends on what the bank will approve!

If you'd like more information on this property feel free to call me at 630-846-4663.

Price Reduced - Amazing Elburn Opportunity

I listed a cute little house in elburn a couple weeks ago and we reduced the price this week from $139,900 to $129,900.

From the street you might think it's a little small but once you walk in- you'll be amazed at what you get for the money. The front door leads into the kitchen which has plenty of room for a table & chairs

I'm not just promoting my own listing when I say this is the best value in elburn! Everything inside is in immaculate condition - new carpet in the great room - cathedral ceiling, custom built in bookcases, pergo style flooring in the bedroom and bathroom!

If you're a first time homeowner - this is a great opportunity to get a very nice house at a great price!

WebHomeOfTheWeek.com - Lisle Ranch

Okay, I have to shamelessly plug this house as both a new listing and the WebHomeOfTheWeek - it's my sisters house! 502 61st street, Lisle IL. is now on the market. This property is located in an unincorporated area of Lisle and sits on over 3/4 of an acre. What makes it the web home of the week is the fact that it is an excellent value! Most of the homes in this area are selling in the $400-$500k range or are much smaller. Similar properties on much smaller lots in the area are going for $320-$360k. With over 2000sf and a full basement - priced at $389,900 it represents an excellent value for the neighborhood.

This property needs updating - including the kitchens and bathrooms. But it's certainly not a handyman special. The outside has been painted, new shutters were added and the owner is constantly spending time improving the landscaping.

This property has a lot of space and is one of those foolers from the road. For an older home, it has amazingly wide open spaces between all the rooms.

New Listing - Wooded lots in Dixon.

If you're looking for an opportunity to get far away from the hustle and bustle of the suburbs - how does Dixon sound? Unincorporated Southern Dixon. These 2 lots are side by side in The New Landing section of Lost Lake near the border of Ogle & Lee Counties.

I wont kid you - if you're driving from the Naperville/Aurora Area - it's a haul. Probably 45 minutes to get there. If you like a quiet country drive - you'll really enjoy the long stretch down Flagg Road from Rt. 251 in Rochelle. On my first trip out there - I thought I was lost! The picture above will tell you that you've arrived. But remember - it's the western entrance. If you're coming from Rochelle off Rt. 251 - it's the second Lost Lake Entrance.

The lots are a little over a quarter acre with the lot line on the road frontage being wider than it is in the back (St. Francis Drive Curves).

Both lots are priced at $7,500 dollars each - $15,000 total. There are some guidelines for building - typical covenants, rules & regs for a community that lay out minimum square footage, set back, etc. For information on the community visit NewLanding.org To see a full listing sheet on 506 St. Francis Drive or 508 St. Francis Drive, visit IllinoisHouseHunter.com

WebHomeOfTheWeek.com - Plainfield Again!

Yep, the web home of the week is in plainfield again! Okay, this one is a shameless plug. It's my listing and we need to get it sold, plain and simple. You can view the details of this house at my website - http://illinoishousehunter.com/06743941.ad or call me directly at 630-846-4663 (Bo Buchanan). This home is a pre-foreclosure and a short sale. That means the homeowner owes more on the house than it will sell for. The purchase process will not go quickly - the bank will examine every step of the offer and it will take some time to get the deal closed. But, you can get a good house at a great price. I've done quite a few of these and I work with attorney's who are familiar with the process. Currently priced at $249,900 - the price will be lowered within the next couple days (I'll post it here when we lower the price).

The House has an amazing waterfront view. Check it out - this is a view from the kicthen back door - you see the fenced backyard and the pond!

The house has 4 bedrooms plus a loft - a full basement and lots of space! Overall, it's in really good shape. But you will need to do a few things - remove the debris left in the garage and basement, probably replace the living room carpet, fix part of the fence and part of the vinyl siding on the back of the house.

I think this is a lot of house - with a little work to be done. But get it at the right price and you'll be happy with the results! Call me if you'd like to see the house, I'll give you the inside scoop ;)

The home is Located in the Farmstone Ridge subdivision off 127th - and the cheapest home that has sold in the last 3 years was $420,000 back in 2005! So at a $410,000 list price -this home is already a deal!!!!! It has 4 bedrooms, 3 and a half bathrooms, a fireplace and a full basement! The family room has an amazing 2 story ceiling with tons of windows so you'll never miss the sunlight!
