Skokie, a first time buyer's dream

College Grads and First Time Home Buyers: Skokie Homes are For You!
Did you just Graduate? Or are you maybe a young, first time home buyer?

Well if you are, it’s not that difficult to find a good place to call home and still be frugal in the village of Skokie.

Many times when you’re looking for a new home, it’s hard to
1). Find a good location
2). Get a good price, and…
3). Locate a home you actually want to purchase!

Buying a new home can be very difficult, but only if you make it too hard on yourself. Condos are a great option for new home buyers and those who’ve recently entered the workforce, like College graduates. If you are looking for a serene location, that offers great schools, entertainment and easy access to Chicago’s nightlife, then Skokie, Illinois is a perfect place to call home.

When shopping for homes Skokie has been truly overlooked, as it has many options from condos to multiple family homes. The village has been a hotbed of new construcion as of late. If it is a condominium you are looking for, the village of Skokie is fertile ground for frugal home buyers. Buy now and you will buy in to an assett that only increases in value over time.

Skokie currently has more than 185 listings for condominiums with prices ranging from $150,000 to $300,000. Typical condominiums don’t always offer spacious interiors and suburban upscale living, especially not in a community like Skokie, but with the new conversion condos and new construction condominium offerings, the units are a steal.

For instance, a new construction building located right on Skokie Boulevard is listed at $297,000 with a candid view of the Skokie forest perserves wooded area, features an in-unit washer and dryer, all new appliances, and some high-end amenities that you have to see to believe. If you were to look for a luxury home in Chicago, with a spectacular view and like amenities you’d pay well over $400k.

These kinds of homes are perfect for small families, entreprenuers, and new home buyers looking for affordable housing.
