Real Estate in Barrington & The Northwest Suburbs: Lake Zurich Homes - Market Report Snapshot January 1st to September 28 2011

I know, I could have waited to write this Lake Zurich homes report for two days and then we could include all of Septembers data, but I doubt it'll really make much difference. There are 171 homes for sale in Lake Zurich, the lowest being $70,000 and the highest $779,000. We've also got 35 Lake Zurich homes under contract, prices from $65,000 to $626,900. So it seems to be pretty active, but let's look at sales this year to date and then do a quick comparison to last year, just for Lake Zurich.

If we look at the Lake Zurich homes sold this year to date and compare to last year for the same period it's 147 2011 to 151 2010. I am not sure if it could be any closer. Last year in total there were 192 Lake Zurich homes sold which includes condos and town-homes. With 35 homes under contract in Lake Zurich, if they all close this year we'll reach a total of 182 leaving 10 more sales to reach last years total. I think it's fair to say the market in Lake Zurich is steady. In fact it's feasible we could go higher than last year, maybe reach 200 sales. I am certainly encouraged by those numbers. 

If you are relocating to the area, why should you consider Lake Zurich homes? You can read a little more about Lake Zurich or a quick synopsis would be a family oriented town with great schools, parks, a beach, large library, lots of shopping and athletic facilities, a fabulous lake for boating, fishing and ice fishing - oh and don't forget a very wide variety of Lake Zurich homes in all price ranges.
