When It Comes to Chicago Real Estate…It’s a Buyer’s Market
February 5, 2010
It is a buyer’s market when it comes to real estate. To be a buyer the conditions could not be better. Low interest rates, home values and inventory all point to buy, buy, buy. The only thing standing in the way is money, but if people can get money and they are in the right place at the right time, buying real estate is a great idea.
If the real estate market were a car the first time home buyer would be in the driver’s seat. Not only to first time home buyers get to take advantage of low mortgage rates, low home values, but they also don’t have to sell a home before they buy a home. There are a LARGE inventory of homes for sale in the Northwest Suburbs that you can take a look at.
There may not be a better time to be a home buyer, especially a first time home buyer, for a long time. The first part of 2010 displays ideal conditions to get out there and start looking, and not to mention the $8,000 credit that is available for First Time Home buyers.
Real Estate is Looking Good Today
February 5, 2010
The real estate market has been all over the map, today sales figures are looking good
Up, down, sideways, back and forth, it sounds like a game of hopscotch but is actually the way the economy, recession and real estate market have been moving. Mastering what is going on has had experts and professionals confounded, wondering how we can all come out ahead of the game. There is one aspect that most can agree on, good news is great to hear.
Today’s headlines show that real estate contracts are up in volume. The good news for housing affected stocks, as they increased in price. Some believe that the Spring buying season is starting early. December is rarely, if ever, thought of as a Spring month but December showed that the Pending Home Sales Index is up over 10%.
There is no doubt that the real estate industry is faring better than a year ago. To continue coming out ahead job growth needs to improve, interest rates need to remain low and consumer confidence has to continue growing. So far 2010 is looking better than 2009 and hopefully real estate sales will continue to rise.

Restaurant Review in Arlington Heights IL.
February 4, 2010
The Stick With Steve Team visits this one particular restaurant in Arlington Heights, IL on a weekly basis…sometimes twice a week. The food there is awesome! We are there so often that the waiters/waitresses know our order before we have a chance to place it. Their Malibu Chicken sandwich is to die for…It is a seasoned marinated charbroiled chicken breast with bacon, and melted jack cheese on a croissant…but don’t worry, if you don’t like the croissant they have a wheat bun that you can substitute. The sandwich also comes with fresh Harbor Potatoes and a side salad all for around $9.00
Other team members would partake in the Oatmeal Combo which features a lovely bowl of Oatmeal, choice of meat, eggs, and an English muffin. Other delicious items include the Hot Chicken Pasta Salad which includes grilled chicken strips with red and green peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and onion which are tossed with Parmesan cheese and rotini pasta …all served over lettuce and baby spinach. Taste Great!
Oh and lets not forget the soups…..I’ve personally had the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice which is EXCELLENT!
Don’t let this restaurant in Arlington Heights pass you by…the food is awesome and the prices are very reasonable for any budget. They even provide you with an after dinner mint to freshen your TASTE BUDS!
This lovely restaurant in the Northwest Suburbs is called Egg Harbor Cafe. You can visit them on their website here!
