Could it be Spring?!

We've had our first taste of warmer weather, the birds seem to be arriving, and the Flower and Garden Show is at Navy Pier!   

In the spring we see the largest number of homes/condos on the market. Spring is about choices, and Real Estate, which comes into its own in spring, reflects this time of new beginnings and options. The market perks up. Snow has melted. Storm windows will soon be a memory.

Check out the graphs of 1) the number places on the market and 2) the number of places under contract and sold in the last 24 months.

Are you thinking of making a change? Spring buyers go on the hunt while smart sellers and REALTORS know that there's no time like the spring to get prepared for a beautiful summer. Sellers who are part of the spring market have been working hard to prepare their homes for sale. Offers made now will most likely have mortgages approved in 30-45 days and closings in 2 months.
