$85,000 IN CREDITS WILL BE GIVEN AT CLOSING for new roof ...new furnace/AC/water heaters ...new kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, etc. (2-days to remove old, install new. YOU CAN CHOOSE colors, etc.) Fabulous land, trees, views. Enjoy the beauty and serenity from the high elevation of the home (30 feet above Bow Lane, 10 feet above Meadow Hill), rolling land, 125 evergreens 75-ft tall along the perimeter of your 5 acres, and beautiful deciduous trees within (probably the largest honey locust tree you've ever seen), as you look out the floor-to-ceiling windows in every room of your ranch home inspired by America's greatest architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, without having to pay a staggering price for your stunning home, land and trees... If all you want from a home is a boring box with a lot of square feet on a flat piece of land without many trees or much interior light, this home is not for you. Current owner for 37 years says, "This home is flooded with light as you experience nature and joy, and a sense of both security and freedom."----- SHARK TANK'S BARBARA CORCORAN SAID, "There is such a shortage of houses right now that prices have gone up despite everybody singing the blues. It happened simply because of supply and demand. There's a lot of buyers and not enough houses available. And that's what rules the market. I think the prices are going to go through the roof, especially if interest rates come down another point by year end. I think everybody and their mother and their in-laws are going to come out looking for a new house. And the competition is going to be so fierce that house prices will have to go up. The time to buy a house is 'right now'-not when rates go further down." ------HERE'S CONTEXT. Interest rates dropped half-a-point on Sept 18. ... 2024 has been a great year for homeowners and stock investors. The S&P 500 increased more than 21% from Jan 1, 2024, through Sept 30 to enrich your 401(k)s and stock portfolios. Through Oct 15, the S&P 500 and Dow have hit 46 and 37 record highs respectively. The median home price across the US increased in August for the 14th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains; probably your home, too. ....The Chicago Tribune reported on June 20, 2024, that in PARK RIDGE the average asking price for a home is, for the first time, more than $1 million (Few, if any, are on 5 acres.). ... BARRINGTON HILLS has a paucity of homes for sale on 5 acres. Very few are available for less than $1,450,000.... But often they were built in the 1930s; or are built on super busy Algonquin Rd; or are not in Barrington High School Dist. 220. 80 Meadow Hill is the exception----- GREAT NEWS: Don't worry. 80 Meadow Hill has been priced to maximize the value you receive.
