Tips to Selling your Home in Chicago

March 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment

As we head into 2013, we are entering a seller’s market, which means that it is time for selling your home in Chicago. With lower inventory seen in years, and a high demand for homes, you will get multiple bidders. You can easily get what your home is worth if you follow these 3 easy steps to selling your home in Chicago. With my help, I can have you out of your old home and into a new one in a blink of an eye!

selling your home in Chicago

1. Stage your home like a pro

Getting your home ready for sale is just as important making sure it sells. Go to some open houses and see how they have their homes modeled and do what the pros do. Hiring a stager or designer isn’t a bad idea. It is cheaper than you might think, too. It could be what makes or breaks a home sale. Start out by de-cluttering and depersonalizing your home. Make it as open as possible and show off those walk-in closets by putting stuff in storage. Buyers want to visualize their own things in your home, so take down all your family photos, store away your priceless teapot collection and allow someone else to start building memories in this home.

2. Price competitively

Inventory is low and the demand for homes is increasing. As this occurs, home prices will be rising. That is why it is important to price your home competitively. Don’t get voracious and try to sell it for more than you find reasonable because other people will be selling, too. You don’t want to frighten your buyers with a costly decisions like over pricing. Also, don’t want to lower the price too much, either. Research homes related to yours, see what they are being sold for, and come up with a nice, competitive price for your home.

3. Find a realtor

Check Out The Benefits of Living in a Condo

January 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

If you compare the price of a new two-bedroom home with the price of a two-bedroom condo in the same neighborhood, which do you think is cheaper? The condo will sell for at least 20-30% less than comparable detached housing. Owning your own roof, foundation and plot of land is much more expensive for your wallet and your time. When you are a condo owner, you share the maintenance expenses with the other people in the building, so when the roof leaks, you are not stuck with the full cost. Condos also offer amenities that you would otherwise not be able to afford. Many condo complexes have swimming pools, tennis courts, fancy exercise rooms and more. Condo homes are especially nice for empty-nesters who don’t need much space or for single families who are first time buyers. You may share a wall, but you still have your privacy mixed with luxury that you will not get from a detached home.

Buying a Home in Chicago? Then You Are Calling The Shots

January 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

If you’re thinking of buying a home in Chicago, then you have more control than you realize, according to recent data from Zillow.com, which recently pegged the metro Chicago market as the best in the nation — from a buyer’s perspective.

Buying a home in Chicago

Stan Humphries, the real estate website’s chief economist, states, “the Metro area is number one among 142 cities that were studied.”

If you are a buyer in Chicago, you will find yourself in a strong bargaining position relative to sellers. Buyers should feel more confident about offering less than the asking price of a home. In a buyer’s market, homes stay on the market longer, sellers cut their prices more often, and homes sell for less, relative to their listing price.  In these situations, buyers have more negotiating power.

Buying a home in Chicago in 2013 will give you the negotiating powers that you need to make sure that you find the home that you are looking for. The markets change rapidly, so if you wait too long, this could change. Begin your search today and bargain your way into your dream home.
