About Bucktown/History of Bucktown:


"The name "Bucktown", interestingly enough, comes from the goats (male goats, also called bucks) that the poor immigrant residents that once lived in the area would keep tied up in their yards.

As recent as a decade ago, Bucktown had been known as a haven for the artsy set. In the past ten years however, the neighborhood has really grown in popularity and the landscape has changed significantly. At one time, the streets were much less crowded. These days they are bustling with numerous exotic restaurants, nightspots, and exclusive clothing stores.

One square mile is the size of this exciting part of the city, bordered by Kennedy Expressway to the east, North Avenue to the south, Western Avenue to the west, and Fullerton Avenue to the north. It contains a mix of single family homes, condos and multi-unit buildings. Considering all that is going on here, and its locale within two miles of downtown, no wonder this area has become so sought after!

Real Estate Tips
First Time Buyers >The Seller May Pay

The costs of buying a home may be daunting. For example, you may have finally saved enough for a down payment on your first home, with a little left over to buy the furniture you will need. Then you hear about having to pay closing costs you weren't anticipating, and this may seem like a real setback.

One way to cover such a shortage is to make the sellers an offer that calls for them to credit you for some of the closing costs. As a rule, the sellers may pay a maximum of 3 percent of the sales price if the buyer is putting five percent down. If the buyer is making a down payment of 10 percent or more, the seller can contribute up to 6 percent of the sales price to cover the buyer's closing costs. Some items, such as prepaid taxes and the first month's mortgage payment, must be paid by the buyers. Sellers may also contribute to paying the appraisal, points, title insurance, settlement attorney fees, state or local transfer taxes and similar items.

Keep in mind that if the credit is included in the price of the house, the appraiser will have to justify the amount, based on sales prices of similar homes in the neighborhood.
