When will Downers Grove home prices go up?

Many buyers and sellers are asking me when home prices will return to the record prices seen during 2005-2006. Moodys and Fiserv have actually studied this point. The answer is different for every state. Some states will rebound as early as 2014, but for Illinois residents the wait will be longer. The estimate is that our pricing will return to 2005-2006 levels somewhere from 2018-2022. If you are thinking of selling, do it now! Prices could be lower when more foreclosures hit the marketplace. If you are thinking of buying, just remember, you are getting record low prices now and great interest rates. Buy now before rates start to go up next spring!
