π Market Monday β and the national numbers are worth a look.
Pending home sales fell about 8% compared to last September, and sellers are cutting prices at a pace we have not seen in four years. Winter arrived early in the real estate market this year.
What it means here in the northwest suburbs:
SELLERS: fewer homes on the market = less competition for yours. But pricing it right on day one matters more than ever β the buyers still out there are serious, and they are negotiating.
BUYERS: you have more negotiating room than you have had in years. Inventory is climbing and price cuts are up β ask for the credits.
The national September sales report drops Tuesday β I will share what it means for Huntley, Crystal Lake, Cary and Algonquin when it lands. Wondering what YOUR home is worth in this market? Message me. β Dana
