While it's never easy to say goodbye to summer in Chicago, when it comes to buying a home - there are some real benefits!

Historically speaking, the fall and winter months in the Chicago market tend to favor the buyer. Often, around Chicago, there are fewer buyers on the market after the red hot days of spring and summer - but, frequently, just as many listings are available. As a result, buyers face less competition from others in the market, and may well have more power to negotiate with sellers, particularly if a seller is eager to offload their home before the deep freeze really settles in.

If you're ready to make a move - or just curious what you can afford - now might be the perfect time to get the process started!

A VA loan might be the perfect fit for you if you are a veteran, active-duty service member, reservist, National Guard, or qualifying military spouse.

To qualify, you must meet specific service requirements and request a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for your lender.

These loans can be used for buying or building a home, refinancing, or making energy-efficient or accessibility improvements. Learn more about government-backed home loans on my blog!
