UNDER CONTRACT! I couldn't be more excited to have landed my client and friend this pristine georgian in Westchester. Of course, it was multiple offers...

This is the third deal this year winning a multiple offer situation for a client. And of course, the terms offered are always important, but what a lot of people don't realize is that professional relationships go A LONG WAY! In all of these situations, I either had an established relationship with the listing agent, or worked to quickly build a rapport with them and make sure they knew that I was the broker they wanted to work with. They want to work with someone they trust who will bring the deal to the closing table WITHOUT drama, headaches, and shady tactics. The power of those relationships is strong - we may not be the absolute highest offer, but when the listing agent's clients ask subjectively what they should do, they will highlight what I've discussed with them and acknowledge having professional standing with me. It really comes full circle.

Looking forward to another smooth closing and making someone's ideal housing setup a reality.

DOES THE SPRING MARKET BEGIN WITH SUPER BOWL???

That's debatable, but a lot of anecdotal observations by Realtors would point to yes.

With that in mind, I was curious to see how post-Super Bowl week data compares over the last 5 years.

I used the sample of single family homes in the near west and southwest suburbs of Cook County, where I live, to test this.

Here's the data, which shows the number of new listings received in the mapped area below the Monday through Thursday immediately following the Super Bowl:

2019: 123
2020: 124
2021: 78
2022: 48
2023: 58
2024: 57

The 2019 - 2023 supply data seems pretty closely correlated to the number of new listings during this post-Super Bowl week.

Is this a coincidence or a telltale sign of the market supply for the upcoming year?

If it is not a coincidence, then it looks like another ultra-competitive year for for single family homes!

While supply is still extremely low, sellers will get TOP DOLLAR for their homes.

If I can ever help you determine how to get the absolute most money for your property, please don't hesitate reaching out!

We love and Dennis Rodkin, but saw some irony in this headline - probably completely unnoticed by most. The insulator is installing high quality, desirable mineral wool batts instead of typical fiberglass insulation. I’ve used this product myself, and it’s amazing. However, no chance most house flippers are putting this in!

CLOSED! This is called RESULTS! We had 60 showings in 3 days, with a marketing plan that included an article in Crain's. 15 offers came in. My sellers accepted a cash offer that was 108% of list price! Trust the experts and you cannot go wrong. This is definitely one of my favorite homes to have listed - what a beauty!

This turnkey, solid brick 3 flat is about to hit the market! It's perfect as an investment as it's truly armchair, but also could make a great candidate for a VA or FHA loan.
