Chicago's Housing: A Seller's Sweet Spot.
Today's housing market is a blend of seemingly disparate forces coming together to create an exceptional environment for home sellers. While there's a high demand among buyers, the inventory of available homes remains significantly lower, setting the stage for a compelling opportunity for those looking to sell their homes.
A recent report from Realtor.com highlights that "on average, active inventory in June was 50.6% below pre-pandemic 2017–2019 levels." This indicates that the housing supply hasn't bounced back yet to accommodate the enormous demand for new properties, highlighting the potential sweet spot for sellers in Chicago and across the country.
To understand this better, imagine a scenario where a supply shortage meets strong demand; such conditions create a market imbalance, resulting in multiple offers and fast-selling properties.The National Association of Realtors’ latest Confidence Index confirms that about 74% of homes are sold in under a month, while the median days on the market fell to only 18 days.With an average of 3.3 offers on recently sold homes, it's evident that sellers are in an advantageous position.
In this seller's market, homeowners in Chicago and the surrounding areas stand to benefit significantly. By listing your property now, you can potentially sell quickly and take advantage of multiple offers as buyers compete to secure a new home amid the prevailing low inventory landscape.
If you've contemplated selling, this might be the ideal moment to harness favorable market conditions. The knowledgeable agents at KM Realty Group, Chicago are standing by to guide you through the process, ensuring that you reap the rewards of your savvy market timing.
