Dear Friends,

After the big market shakeout that began last year, home prices, (and market times,) are going to continue to differentiate. This new "buyers market' is all about local differences in both value and market demand. The days of 'one size fits all' real estate are gone. The new era is about LOCAL DIFFERENCES.  If you are a seller, you need to understand what your market indicators are telling you about sales prices. If you are a buyer, you need to find units that will appreciate in value over time. Not every realtor is going to understand every local market.

If you are interested in finding value on the upper Chicago lake front, then Pete Fugiel can help you find value. If you want a community setting that matches your lifestyle, then Pete Fugiel can help you with that too. One of the nice things about Edgewater and Rogers Park is that both market areas have distinct sub-markets, or communties, where your own particular tastes and preferences can be met. It is all about finding you a home, that is also, a good investment. Go with a local pro, get yourself educated about the market, and put Pete Fugiel on your real estate team. Pete the Practical Gardener is also Pete the Practical Realtor. It's all about community.
