RE/MAX agents in the Chicago real estate market once again led the Kendall County residential real estate market in buyer representation during the first half of 2009, assisting buyers in 125 home purchase transactions, according to sales data available for Kendall County through Midwest Real Estate Data, LLC (MRED).

Home sales reported by MRED totaled 591 in Kendall County during the first six months of 2009. That is 13 percent fewer sales than were reported for the same period last year.

During the first half of 2009, RE/MAX agents represented buyers who purchased 21.2 percent of all listed homes sold. Following RE/MAX in that category were Coldwell Banker (20.6 percent), Kettley (6.1 percent), Century 21 (5.4 percent), and Charles Rutenberg Realty (3.6 percent).

Across the metropolitan area during the six-month period, RE/MAX remained the leader among real estate companies, with a total market share of 17.8 percent. RE/MAX agents led in each of the two statistical categories that contribute to overall market share, listing 18.8 percent of all homes sold and assisting 16.8 percent of all buyers. Since 1989, RE/MAX has ranked number one in the Chicago metropolitan home sales market based on listings sold.
