Buyers of Vernon Hills real estate take note, rates have once again hit all time lows. This week the average rate for a traditional 30 year fixed rate loan was 3.79%, offering exceptional savings to today’s buyer. 15 year loans are also offering incredible rates, at just over 3%.

Pre-qualification for a home loan is an important first step when buying Vernon Hills real estate. Knowing what you can afford versus what you would like to afford helps to make sure that you are looking at Vernon Hills homes that you will be able to buy. The current low rates are luring many buyers off of the sidelines and into home ownership.

The US economy is showing strong signs of recovery but issues abroad are helping to keep our rates down, which is great for buyers of Vernon Hills property.

Vernon Hills Mall Revamp, Boost to Economy

Vernon Hills

Sharron Kelley, Vernon Hills real estate & community information

A proposed Vernon Hills mall revamp will no doubt be a boost to the local economy should it move forward. The Hawthorn Mall has long been wanting a renovation but only recently produced a proposal that works for both the mall and Vernon Hills. The renovation will include both a remodel and an expansion, bringing more jobs and eventually more revenue to Vernon Hills Illinois.

The plans for the mall expansion in Vernon Hills include a new 12 screen cinema, new retail spaces, and new restaurant space. These additions all add up to more sales tax revenue for Vernon Hills and more jobs at the mall. However, before these new spaces open they have to be built and the $40 to $50 million project will create a number of construction jobs in addition to boosting overall spending in the Vernon Hills area.

The expansion of the Hawthorn Mall is a sign of an improving economy in Vernon Hills. Contact me, Sharron Kelley, today to learn more about living in Northern Illinois.
