THE BOT TOM LINE
You are buying or selling in the highest appreciating major metro in the country. That’s data, not hype. The opportunity to build wealth through Chicago real estate is as strong as it’s been in years. Buyers: If you wait for rates below 6%, you’ll compete with every other buyer who had the same idea—driving prices higher. Act now with less competition. Sellers: Proper pricing and preparation matter. Well-positioned properties move quickly in this momentum market. If rates drop below 6% while you’re listed, you’ll benefit from surging buyer activity. The opportunity is real: record appreciation and steadying mortgage rates with the potential for more inventory and affordability in 2026. These conditions favor prepared participants. Real estate is about more than transactions—it’s about relationships and providing value at every stage of your journey. Whether you need a referral for anything related to your home and life, or you’re ready to make your next move, I’m here to help.
