Curious About the Northbrook Real Estate Market?

If you are considering moving anytime within the next year or two, you may want to put a rush on it and get your house on the market now.

"Now is the time to sell your house!" I'm sure you have never heard a real estate agent say that before.

We can turn lemons into lemonade no matter what the market statistics show. So, when I say, "Now, REALLY is the time to sell your house," I probably need to back it up with some analysis.

The reason it is a great time to sell right now is because there is very little inventory. Most buyers, nowadays, are not even looking at houses until they have sold their home. But when they have their contract in hand, they are ready to buy a house very quickly.
