9321 Lowell| Skokie Foreclosures

SKOKIE FORECLOSURES| 9321 LOWELL

The amount of Skokie Foreclosures is no where near the amount of Skokie Short Sales currently available on the market. However, over the next year Skokie will see the number of Skokie Foreclosures rise as the number of current short sales that arent approved will increase and ultimately lead to foreclosure.

The Skokie home for sale located at 9321 Lowell is a REO property and has been recently listed.. This home has 4bed/4.1 bath and has a full finished basement. This is a huge home with over 4000 sq ft!

It is currently listed at $569,250 (i dont know why they felt the need to add the extra $250 to the listing price..i guess its a psychological thing). The taxes are a bit over $8000

Dealing with a REO property is much easier and takes alot less time to deal with than short sales (for the most part).. You can usually close on a REO/Foreclosure property in 30-60 days

To schedule an appointment to view this Skokie Foreclosure listing, please contact me by phone or email any time day or night! Not interested in this particular property? I would be more than happy to find you additional Skokie Foreclosures and short sales to view!

Sold:8519 Niles Center Rd| Skokie Real Estate

Hello everyone!
While the Skokie Real Estate market has been in a free fall the last two years with prices dropping, listings times increasing and the number of Skokie Short Sales and Skokie Foreclosures rocketing upward. The property I just sold is an example of what can happen when you work with sellers to price their properties aggressively, even in this current economy and skokie real estate market!

8519 Niles Center road is a beautifull 6 unit Skokie Apartment building.. This building was well taken care of by my client and it showed. I listed this property at $500,000 and sold it in under 2 weeks...FOR FULL PRICE! This was not a short sale or foreclosure.  Just a combination of what aggressive pricing and creative marketing can do!
