The Village of Streamwood is one of the fastest growing communities within the Chicago metropolitan area.  Located within the high growth northwest suburban corridor, Streamwood is ideally located just 20 or so minutes from O'Hare Airport.

Streamwood's population has grown to nearly 39,200 in its short 45 year history.  And, it is geared for additional growth.  The population of Streamwood is attractive to both commercial and residential development.  Ninety-three percent (93%) of the residents live in a traditional two-parent household with children.  The median age is 30 years.  The median household income is nearly $75,000.  Affordable homes, coupled with two-income families, adds up to a high level of discretionary income.

Although Streamwood is predominantly a residential community, it enjoys a thriving business community.  The Village supports over 600 businesses.  The Village is an active participant in the business community, and it aids business development through a streamlined approvals process and through the provision of quality local services.

Poplar Creek Forest Preserve

Streamwood is bounded by 4,500 acres of beautiful forest preserves on its northern border.  The Poplar Creek Forest Preserve provides hiking, biking, horseback riding and picnic areas.  A wide variety of fresh water fish are located in its streams and lakes.  There is also a restored sample of the original Illinois prairie.

Park Place Family Recreation Center

A state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor basketball courts, indoor aquatic center, aerobics studio and indoor elevated track are the highlights of this facility which opened in 1995.

Services are available to residents of all ages including creative dramatics for children, a children's museum, stress management, massage therapist, tanning salon and Senior Center.

Streamwood Oaks Golf Course

In September of 1990, Streamwood Oaks Golf Course opened for business.  Streamwood Oaks is a nine-hole golf course and features a 3,404 yard championship layout.  Water comes into play on all nine holes and will challenge even the most experienced player.  Streamwood Oaks Golf Course provides a full-service pro shop with all of the latest equipment and apparel.  The golf course is owned by the Village of Streamwood and operated and managed by Links Management.  The clubhouse, with over 2,400 square feet of space, is designed to accommodate up to 60 people.

The Streamwood Park District is a separate municipal governing agency established for the purpose of providing park facilities and leisure programs for residents.  The Park District is responsible for the maintenance, operation and administration of parks and park facilities.  The Park District presently owns and maintains over 230 acres of land at 34 locations.  Major facilities include the Community Center, Park Place Family Recreation Center, the Hoosier Grove Barn Banquet Facility, the Schoolhouse Museum, and one outdoor swimming pool.  More than 350 recreation programs are offered each year to individuals of all ages, interest and abilities.

Hoosier Grove Barn and Park

Hoosier Grove Park is a 20 acre park which is the site of many community events such as Summer Celebration, Pumpkinfest and the annual Easter Egg roll.  The park houses an 1888 barn original to the site.  The barn, restored in 1993 as a banquet facility, is joined by an old farmhouse, stable and schoolhouse, reminding visitors what life in the Village was like when the area was a farming community.

Hoosier Grove Schoolhouse Museum
Built in 1904, Hoosier Grove School was a one-room schoolhouse which educated the children of the area prior to Streamwood's incorporation as a Village in 1957.  Classes continued at the school until 1954.  It was the last country school operated in Hanover Township.  Originally located at the southwest corner of Barrington and Church (now Schaumburg) Roads, the building was moved to Hoosier Grove Park in 1988 and serves as the community's museum.

Streamwood is served by two Metra Commuter Train Stations in Bartlett and Hanover Park.  The Bartlett Train Station is located at Oak and Railroad Avenues in Downtown Bartlett.  The Hanover Train Station is located at Barrington Road and Lake Street.  The Metra Commuter Train provides transportation to downtown Chicago, through historic Union Station, and other suburbs along the line.

Both stations feature daily and quarterly parking as well as Kiss-n-Ride drop-off and bicycle parking.  Daily parking is $1.00 and payable at the lot.

Education

Streamwood enjoys a wide range of quality educational opportunities for its residents.  Most students living in the village are served by School District U-46, the second largest school district in the State of Illinois.

District U-46 serves over 38,000 students, from kindergarten through high school.  The district covers a 90 square mile geographic area which includes the other communities of Bartlett, Elgin, Hanover Park, South Elgin and Wayne and portions of Carol Stream, St. Charles, Schaumburg and West Chicago.

Within the village limits of Streamwood are numerous elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school.  The District U-46 curriculum is continually reviewed and kept up-to-date to meet the needs and interests of today's students.  District teachers improve their teaching skills and learn about new instructional concepts through periodic training and in-service programs.

While the majority of Streamwood is located within District U-46, areas of the community located east of Barrington Road are served by School District 54  and  High School District 211.

Community Development
Pro-business.  Pro-development.  Streamwood casts itself in the non-traditional role of facilitator rather than simply a regulator.  It's an attitude that drives Streamwood's Community Development Department.  The Department manages all planning, zoning, building and property maintenance functions for the community.  Developers continually commend the Community Development Department for its streamlined approvals process.

• Cash is king.  Having enough money in the bank to pay closing costs that are typically an additional 2 percent to 3 percent of the price of the home is necessary.

• Location, Location, Location.  As any good real estate professional knows, homes in good school districts where the crime is low are much more likely to hold or increase their value.

• Compare.   Besides just looking at the comps(houses that sold), buyers should examine what it would cost to rent a similar house in the same area and they might consider what it would cost to buy land and build a comparable home.

• Think long haul.  It will probably take at least six or seven years of living in the house to be able to sell and come out ahead.

So this is how the attached market graphs work.  Let's say that your pre-approved purchase price is in the $250,000 to $275,000 range and you would like to start looking for a single family home.  There are currently 93 home selections in that range in both Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates.  OR

You are looking for a townhouse in the $250,000 to $275,000 price range and your current selections are 51 shown in the lower graph for Multi-family homes.

Why Banks do Short Sales

Illinois placed in the top 10 nationally in foreclosure filings for 2007 at 90,782 posted filings.  The 2006 figure was 64,310 which is up dramatically.  The 2007 number represents 1.25% of the total households in Illinois.  The national average is 1.03%.  The good news is that 98.75% of all Illinois households are NOT in foreclosure.

The high foreclosure numbers are causing fewer people to offer up bids at the sheriff's sale.  The large mortgage amounts, along with back taxes, attorney's fees and other liens are making it impractical for third parties to pick up any bargains.  The bank is forced to pick up the property.  These bank owned properties are known as REO's.  The REO properties are later sold, or auctioned at a much greater discounted rate.  Also, once the bank acquires the REO, now as owners, they take on all the carrying costs of ownership (taxes, association, utilities, maintenance).  The net doesn't get better, it gets worse.  That's why short sales take place.  The banks will loose more money later than they will on the front end.

Want to sell your home but you owe more than what it's worth?

Are you trying to sell your home by taking what you owe + Realtor Fees?

I speak to homeowners daily that just want to get out but don't know of a solution. The hard reality is that most homeowners today have zero equity and have a loss on their property if they bought recently.  It takes 8 to 10% appreciation to "break even" on the sale of a home in our area.

PUNCHING UP THE NUMBERS AND NOT SEEING THE MATH WORK NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY?   The answer just might be a SHORT SALE!

What is a Short Sale?

• Homeowner sells for less than what is owed on the loan.
• Lender accepts the amount as payment.
• Seller escapes foreclosure, but receives no funds.
• Lender does not report foreclosure to credit bureau.

In a short sale, a financially insolvent homeowner who is facing foreclosure sells his home for less than the value of his loan. The lender accepts the sale as payment in full for the loan.  A short sale gives a homeowner a way out of foreclosure and is usually financially advantageous for lenders. We call this a WIN-WIN.

The seller won't get any money out of the deal, but they will avoid the emotional turmoil of foreclosure. This is fair.  If the lender is losing money, the seller shouldn't be making money.

The seller won't have "foreclosure" on his credit report but it will show all the missed mortgage payments.

• Foreclosure is an automatic 100-120 point hit to a credit rating and stays on the report for 7-10 years.
• Lender could report the short sale in a number of different ways. There could be a 40-50 point hit for the short sale. (NOT AS BAD AS FORECLOSURE!)

So what is Foreclosure?

A legal process in which a lender takes the title or forces the sale of a property as a result of the borrower's failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the mortgage. The timeline for foreclosure will vary from state to state and from lender to lender. However, the process can begin with the homeowner's first missed payment. If the homeowner doesn't send a payment or make payment arrangements 16-30 days after the first missed payment, the lender will begin adding late charges. In an attempt to collect, the lender may call the homeowner and send collection letters. Approximately 45-60 days after the missed payment, if no other payments or payment arrangements were made, the lender will notify the homeowner the loan is in default. Usually the homeowner will have 30 days to send the missed loan payments plus late fees to avoid foreclosure.

After about 90-105 days, the lender will send the homeowner a Notice of Intent to Foreclose. This notice initiates the legal proceedings of foreclosure and is usually publicized at the courthouse and in the newspaper.

ILLINOIS   FORECLOSURE   TIMELINE

• Missed payment occurs (30 days past due)
• Lender refers to Collections Dept. (30 to 90 days past due)
• Lender refers to Loss Mitigation Dept. (90-120 days past due)
• Lender files a "Lis Pendens" which means "Legal Action against Property".
• Pre-foreclosure/Redemption Period (6-7 months)
• Sheriff's Sale
• Eviction of Previous Owner (30 days after auction)
• On average in Illinois a Foreclosure takes 11 months to a year.

Depending on the state, the home will be offered usually at auction after 150-415 days.  Again depending on the state, after the home has been offered at auction, it may go into a redemption period. In the redemption period, the homeowner can buy back his home if he can pay the lender the entire loan plus additional fees that have accrued.  Not all states have a redemption period.

The home becomes Real Estate Owned (REO) by the lender if it doesn't sell at auction.

3 Myths and Truths about Foreclosure

• Myth 1    Lenders want to foreclose on delinquent homeowners.  Truth is lenders are in the business of loaning, not owning!
• Myth 2    Financially distressed sellers have worked through their options with their lenders.  Truth is "financially distressed" means "stressed". These sellers may not realize there are positive options, and they could be avoiding creditors that could help.
• Myth 3    Short Sales are hard.  Truth is they just take more time than a usual real estate sale.  Patience and knowledge are the key.  Not all Realtors are up on short sales - so be sure you've got one that knows what they are doing.

Do you Qualify?

Facing foreclosure does not automatically make someone a good candidate for a short sale. If a homeowner has money or assets elsewhere, the lender will not be interested in negotiating a short sale. Remember a short sale will usually cost the lender less than a foreclosure, but the lender is still losing lots of money.

The homeowner should be able to demonstrate a hardship that caused him to miss his payments. This information will be added to the short sale proposal.  The homeowner will write a note about what happened and will compile the supporting documentation. If the homeowner's loan rate adjusted, obtain copies of the loan statements.  If the homeowner encountered medical issues, gather copies of those bills. If a spouse died, include a copy of the death certificate.

Basically the homeowner must be financially insolvent.  The homeowner must have no means of meeting the loan obligation and must have no other options.  A short sale is not for people who simply regret bad financial decisions.
