Chicago's Real Estate Market is Changing!

It's a good time to be a buyer of a home in Chicago. We have "officially" declared the areas we work to be in a (Home) Buyer's Market. Why is that the case and what does that mean to you? The supply of homes on the market is near a historical high point - hence there is lots and lots to choose from. More importantly though prices are moderating and in some cases going down. Demand has kept mostly steady to date which is why the Chicago real estate market is mostly calm and not in the news.

Buying a home in this market allows for a less frenzied search and a whole lot more respect and understanding from home sellers. Great properties still sell very quickly but overpriced and less-than-perfect homes have been staying on the market longer than we have seen in the past several years.

ChicagoHome.com Team agents have developed effective strategies to ensure that our clients get the "perfect" home in this changing market climate. Our primary goals are to save you time, save you money and to help you avoid unnecessary complications.

Within the neighborhoods that we work, we can show you the very best single family homes, condos, lofts, townhomes and 2-to-4 flats. We have expertise in all property types, including new construction, new conversions and resale homes.

We provide the following valuable buyer services completely FREE of charge:

• Extensive geographical & neighborhood assistance, including advice tailored to those relocating from out-of-town.
  
• Identifying the right housing type for your needs.
  
• Daily or weekly e-mailed listings, including pictures and property features from the Realtor® MLS.
  
• Accommodation of your personal schedule and time frame.
  
• Saving you time by pinpointing your criteria and showing you the very best properties that match your needs.
  
• Expert analysis of the market value (and the market environment) of homes you are serious about purchasing - giving you a significant advantage in any negotiation.
  
• Drafting a sophisticated, compelling and competitive offer to purchase.
  
• Expert negotiating, including strategies of dealing with multiple offers, contingent purchases and 1031 Exchanges.
  
• Handling of your post-contract details involving lenders, inspectors, attorneys and other parties involved in the transaction.
  
• Attending your pre-closing "walk-through" inspection and assisting in the creation of a punch-list for new construction and new rehabs.

In addition to our own services, we endeavor to keep you protected by referring quality service providers. Lenders, lawyers, home inspectors, tradesmen and contractors are all referred based on positive past experiences with their services.
