Hey Neighbors Check out our weekly Market Update: 9/15/26 📊
Steady traffic on listings across the markets I work in this week — buyers are out there looking. Just put a condo in Schaumburg and a super cute ranch in Glendale Heights under contract, so activity is real.
Here's the truth for sellers: the Covid frenzy is over. But price your home correctly and buyers will show up. Overpricing is still the #1 thing that gets a listing stuck.
On rates — yes, they're bouncing around, over 7% one day, under the next. But here's the thing: if you're renting, your interest rate is 100%. Every buyer waiting for the "perfect" rate is paying rent instead of building equity. Get into the game with your first home, hold onto it, build some equity, and trade up when you're ready.
And if you already own and want to move, you have more options than you think. I'm working with a client right now who's buying in Wisconsin and selling in Streamwood — moving across state lines is doable with the right team. I've got great lenders who can help structure your financing so the move actually works.
Thinking about selling? Let's talk pricing strategy so your home moves fast and for top dollar. Send me a message or give me a call at 630-287-0908 — let's get you a free home value estimate and a game plan.
