The prime selling season is coming to a close as the end of August nears but a large number of homes will sell between now and December 31st. If your home needs to be one of these the most important thing is going to be effective pricing followed by proper presentation and marketing of your home. Looking for tips and suggestions?

Glenshire has a lot to offer our prospective neighbors including; common areas, lakes, mature trees and the fact that it is a subdivision consisting entirely of single-family homes (which is increasingly rare in new developments). Make sure these amenities are mentioned in the marketing and sale of your home!

As always, we need to remember that Glenshire is a small area out of Champaign County so the statistics will tend to fluctuate on a monthly and yearly basis. If you are interested in comparing these numbers to the overall, local market please contact me for more info.

Real Estate Market Summary - 1/1/08 thru 5/13/08

The following data is taken from the CCAR MLS as of 5/13/2008

Looking at Glenshire as an individual market is a little tough to do because of the small number of sales every year so these statistics need to be incorporated with a view of the overall real estate market in Southwest Champaign. (if you are interested in that info please contact me)
In general, Glenshire has followed the general trend in the local real estate market with longer days on market following 2005. The average sale prices have remained strong with a dip in 2007 that can mainly be attributed to 9 of the 13 homes that sold that year being smaller than 1900sqft in size. Another sign of strong demand in Glenshire is the tightening of the List Price to Sale Price Ratio. This is the average percentage of asking price that a home seller is receiving in Glenshire Subdivison.
The item that really caught my attention so far this year is that there are no closed sales in Glenshire for 2008. I think this is an anomaly from the relatively small size of the subdivision but it will be interesting to watch for the remainder of the year.
There are currently 11 homes in Glenshire actively marketed through the MLS averaging 76 days on the market.
