What Buyers Really Want? Storage Space

In a survey conducted by the National Association of Home Builders and Better Homes and Gardens, buyers of all ages were asked about what features they look for in their next place to call home. Storage and outdoor space were high on the list, while elevators, outdoor kitchens and cork flooring weren’t high priorities. To learn more about the findings of this survey, please click here. 

 

Mortgage Rates Still Below 4%, But For How Long? 

Freddie Mac reports that at the end of last week, a 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell below 4 percent to 3.79 percent. While rates are forecasted to increase this year, the continued historically low mortgage rates should help to boost home sales as buyers continue to be incentivized. The 15-year fixed rate also dropped to 3.07 percent.

what our clients think of us

 

"J.P. and Sarah Anderson handled both the sale of our Aurora family house and the purchase of our downtown Wheaton home. Our experience with them was nothing but pleasant. Their extraordinary expertise, experience and professionalism is unmatched in the Chicagoland area. They are easy to deal with, calm under pressure, dependable, and all around great to work with. If you are buying or selling a home in the western suburbs you could never ask for more than what you will get from Sarah and J.P. We are clients of the Anderson's, but I also consider them our newest friends."

 

--Salina & Joshua

 

"We weren't sure what to expect when contacting J.P. Anderson about being our broker to assist us in the purchase of our first home. We knew we had a lot of work ahead of us and had no idea where to really begin. This all changed upon meeting with J.P. He was friendly and professional from our very first interaction, providing more than we had hoped for in terms of information, answers, and guidance on the entire process. We knew right away we wanted him on our side until the day we had the key to our new home in hand.

He was diligent in finding for us newly available houses to visit and review as we learned more and more about what we wanted out of our new home. Here again, we had answers to all of our questions, and he was ever faithful in his charge to assist us, making sure we understood every step along the way.

From the beginning all the way to closing, and beyond, J.P. Anderson exceeded our expectations for the responsibilities and services of a broker, performing every task with integrity and patience. We would recommend him without hesitation to those we know, and, in fact, we already have."

--Jeff & Kathleen

 

"We signed on for their representation immediately and from that day forward we got nothing but respect and responses from everyone we dealt with. They set up everything, pre-approval, showings, inspections, you name it..they knew every step before we made it, and no detail escaped their attention. They had information others simply didn’t have, they knew people others simply didn’t know, at the end of the day they always got their closing. If you are buying or selling in the western suburbs of Chicago there is only one team I would recommend; J.P. and Sarah Anderson."
 
--The Smith Family
 
Sarah was incalculably helpful during our house-hunting process. She contacted elusive property managers, warned us of potential dangers, and made sure our applications were considered before others whenever possible. She also did her best to keep our spirits up when we were competing for properties in popular locations! I will be sure to reach out to Sarah again when I am looking to rent or buy in the future."

- Jonathan M., Jaime H. & Bradley P.
 
"We have been homeowners in Glen Ellyn since 1962, we know many people and many realtors in Glen Ellyn, Wheaton and Lombard.  When we recently decided to downsize and purchase our 5th home in the area, knowing so many realtors made our decision of which realtor to use somewhat difficult.  We were looking for a person with integrity, personality, approachability, enthusiasm, energy and motivation.  Not only did you fill these requirements, you never disappointed us.

Our house was sold and a new one selected within a month.  When the house we wanted turned out to have unforeseen problems on closing day, you worked many hours all week-end to find us just the right place in our time frame.  We were so impressed with your diligence on our behalf.

We just wanted you to know how much we appreciate your efforts on our behalf. We will be recommending your services to anyone we know.”

--Dianne & Jim
