In Chicago, Super Bowl Sunday traditionally signals the beginning of the spring real estate market. There must be something to it! I hosted an open house yesterday. My plan was to capture folks early in the day, before they settled in for the big game. Hot coffee, munchies and a big open house sign complete with balloons (red for Cardinals; blue for Steelers!) lured neighborhood folks into the property. Wow, what a response!
This ended up being one of the most successful open houses I've ever hosted: a steady stream of visitors who commented endlessly on the huge living space, the complementary decor and the amazing view...while they sipped Caribou Coffee and nibbled on Trader Joe's cookies.
What does this tell us? That people are starting to get serious again about looking for real estate. And if they're looking, they're eventually going to buy.
What better time to kick your own home search into high gear?! There's an abundance of inventory. The weather is getting warmer so you won't freeze to death if you go out looking. There are Realtors -- like me, for example -- who would love to match you with the home of your dreams!
So what's holding you back? C'mon! Get in the game! :o)
