Fake News Alert

Are you a homeowner in the Chicago suburbs who is hesitant to put your property on the market because you've been hearing that it's not a good time to sell? Are you worried that you won't get a good price or that your home will languish on the market for months?

Well, I'm here to tell you that those headlines about the real estate market being less favorable to sellers are "fake news" in the Chicago suburbs. In fact, the market is red hot, with crazy open house and showing traffic and huge buyer demand. And I have the data to prove it.

Recently, I received an offer decline notice from a seller's agent on a property in DuPage that my clients had offered on. Here's what the notice said:

"Thank you for the offer. Unfortunately, the Seller chose a different offer. The market is very competitive and the best part of our business is working with other agents. Here is some data to share with your Buyers.

  • 58 showings
  • 13 offers
  • Cash, FHA and conventional financing
  • 2 Appraisal gaps
  • 4 Escalation clauses
  • 2 Inspection Waivers
  • 14 As-Is

I wish you and your Buyer good luck in finding a home. If anything changes with the status of the accepted contract I will contact you."

This data is a testament to the fact that there is a tremendous amount of interest in buying homes in the Chicago suburbs right now. With 58 showings and 13 offers, it's clear that buyers are clamoring for properties, and are willing to make competitive offers to secure them.

Additionally, the fact that there were offers with cash, FHA, and conventional financing, as well as appraisal gaps, escalation clauses, and inspection waivers, demonstrates that buyers are willing to be flexible and creative in order to win bidding wars.

So, if you've been on the fence about selling your home in the Chicago suburbs, now is the time to act. The market is in your favor, and there are buyers out there who are eager to purchase homes.
