If you’re thinking about selling this spring, rethink your strategy. There’s a huge advantage to listing your property now before the spring market comes along. Today, we’ll discuss the top three reasons why.

1. Overall, demand is strong. Although springtime is the busiest selling season of the year, the market still experiences lots of activity during the winter. When you compare this January to last January’s numbers, you’ll see demand is up by 8.4% in the city of Chicago.
2. There’s less competition now. Inventory is down, and buyers have fewer options to choose from. From a quantitative measure, we’re down by 4.7% in the city of Chicago.
3. There are fewer transactions. What does this mean for you? It means the closing process will be shorter and quicker, since the local industry professionals are dealing with fewer closings.
