Arlington Heights Real Estate

Our neighborhood 2011 real estate statistics! based on reported sales through the Multiple Listing Service

In the Greenbrier subdivision...8 homes closed in 2011. The lowest sale price was $240,000 and the highest sale price was $500,000. The average sale price was $324,200. This is up 18% from 2010.

In the Meadows subdivision...3 homes closed in 2011. The lowest sale price was $240,000 and the highest sale price was $410,000. The average sale price was $346,000, which is down 18% from 2010.

In the Cedarbrook subdivision...2 homes closed in 2011. The lowest sale price was $259,900 and the highest sale price was $352,000. The average sale price was $305,900, down 16% form 2010.

In the Greenwood townhomes, 5 townhomes closed in 2011. The lowest sale price was $222,100 and the highest sale price was $271,000. The average sale price was $245,100, up 1% from 2010.

In the Greenwood Place (single family) subdivision, there were no closed sales in 2011.

Another interesting fact...of the 21 properties that closed, 2 were "short sales" and 3 were foreclosures...this represents about 24% of all the sales!


I also did a little research for all of Arlington Heights....in 2011...414 single family homes closed (426 in 2010)....Average sale price in 2011 was $331,159 (in 2010 it was $354,735). So the average sale price was down 7% from 2010.

The median sale price of the closed single family homes was $296,250 (in 2010 it was $325,000). So the median sale price was down 8% from 2010.

Of the 414 single family homes that closed, 43 were foreclosures and 23 were short sales. This means that these distressed sales represented 14% of the total number of sales. (In 2010 distressed sales represented 15% of the closed sales). So if there is some bit of good news...maybe this is it. Perhaps the number of distressed sales is finally declining. Before the market can start to move upward, we certainly need to get all the foreclosures and short sales off the market. I hope that trend continues in 2012!


Some homeowners are still experiencing great difficulty in making their mortgage payments. If you are one of these people, there is help!!! Did you know about "short sales"? A "short sale" is done by negotiating with your lender to reduce the amount to pay off your loan, resulting in the lender accepting less than what they are owed by the property owner as a full and final settlement of all amounts due. In essence, the lender pays all the costs associated with the closing of the sale and the property owner walks away debt free. This is advantageous to the lender because it is less expensive and time consuming than the lender foreclosing on the property. If this seems like an option that might be right for you, call me! I can help you. There may be a way out!
