WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CHICAGO 2 BEDROOM CONDO BUYERS

Significantly rising prices confirm that the buyers market is over. You need to be ready to buy when you find a home you want. If you will be financing your purchase, get your mortgage pre-approval before you start touring homes. Contact me for recommended mortgage consultants. If you’re paying cash, get a proof of funds letter from your accountant or banker ready to go. Contact me to get started.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CHICAGO 2 BEDROOM CONDO SELLERS

If your home is priced right when it goes on market, it should sell in less than 3 months. The average days on market was down 9% to 67 days. Just because the median sale price is up 10.3% from a year ago doesn’t mean that you’ll get 10.3% more for your home than you would have a year ago. Recent comparable sales and the current competition are much better price indicators. If you’re considering selling your home, contact me for a free market analysis.
