In the Heartland you will find four distinct seasons. The term ?Windy City? applies even in Lake in the Hills --a northwestern suburb of Chicago. Thus, you can count on a mild breeze to cool you off in the summer and blow the leaves off your yard onto the neighbors in the fall. But, beware of the additional wind chill factor in the winter months. Remember to dress in layers as the most effective way to protect against the cold. It?s a good idea to keep a small shovel and sand or salt in the trunk incase you wind up in a drift. You probably won?t be alone as the local residents are fast to give you a hand. And springtime! Ah, what a beautiful relief from winter. The grass is green, and the April showers really bring out the flowers. The view out of your kitchen or office window can be a real inspiration! Come to Lake in the Hills and you?ll stay for life.
First Time Buyers >A Matter of Timing
Buying real estate can sometimes involve tricky timing. For example, you may have found the perfect house and are thinking about making an offer, but are feeling pressured to make a decision just when you want time to consider the matter. The agent tells you that another party is thinking about making an offer, so you shouldn't hesitate if you really want the house. What should you do? Trust your agent!
It is natural to feel some pressure from even the most easy-going real estate agent--and some uncertainty about making an offer. If you really like a house, there is always the possibility that someone else will share your enthusiasm for it. Whether your local market is active or sluggish, it is sensible to assume that another offer is likely to come in. Perhaps you can afford to "sleep on it", but moving as quickly as possible will minimize the possibility that the house will go to another buyer.
