If you’re actively buying or selling in Chicagoland - you probably thought something was off today.
Zillow lost access to 43,000 local listings this morning. Before you panic, there are some things you need to understand about what Zillow actually is — and isn’t — in this market.
The real market is intact. Your listing is intact. And serious buyers are still finding homes.
DM me if you’d like to learn more about this. 🏡

Monday Market Update 📊
Curious how the last 2 months have affected the housing market here in the near Western Chicago suburbs? The data might surprise you…
March to March - no change in median days to contract - this year was identical to the last 2 years.
🏡 DuPage County: 6 days to contract 🏡 Cook County: 10 days to contract 📈 82% of homes listed from Feb 28 - April 13 are already under contract or closed.
In practice, we are still seeing multiple offers as well. So far, we don’t see a shift for the majority of our inventory.

My buyers just bought this great Hinsdale home…
In a super location…
And we locked it up before it hit the market.
The D181 market remains intense.
You’ve gotta be informed, prepped and ready.
They were and the benefits will pay off for years to come!

Thinking about selling in the Western Suburbs and wondering what’s actually worth updating before you list? 🏡

You don’t need a full renovation to get strong results. I break down the best ROI renovations, the updates that help homes sell faster and attract stronger offers (and which ones usually aren’t worth the money).

Think smart kitchen refreshes, paint, lighting, and curb appeal.. it’s all about focusing on what today’s buyers really care about.

Buying your first home in Hinsdale isn’t just a milestone — it’s a strategy.

I just shared a new blog, First-Time Buyer’s Guide to Hinsdale, covering what first-time buyers really need to know in a concise, practical way. From understanding true affordability (beyond price) to why micro-location matters more than finishes, this guide breaks down how this market actually works.

I also touch on how Hinsdale compares with Clarendon Hills, Westmont, and Western Springs — and how first-time buyers can compete thoughtfully without overreaching.

If you’re starting to explore homeownership in the western suburbs, let's chat and finding a starting point of where to begin for you.
