Market Flooded With Home Buyers in Downtown Chicago and Suburban Chicagoland Areas

Market Flooded With Home Buyers in Downtown Chicago and Suburban Chicagoland Areas.

This trend is due to the fact that home buyers are trying to take advantage of low prices now – before they keep rising  – as well as low interest rates making homes more affordable on a monthly payment basis.  The Fed’s policies have kept rates low, giving the market a sugar high.   Inventory is low in many areas, making it hard for some buyers to find the home that they really want.  We’ve been in open houses in downtown Chicago lately where there are anywhere from 20-40 buyers inside – running into each other!

For example single home and land prices in West Town…East Village & Ukrainian Village..Noble Square etc. has shot up 5-8% in the past 3-4 months – with decent land or good tear down or gut re-hab property being snapped up by various builders instantly.   So to “get ahead of the curve”  – Buyer Broker Chicagoland helps buyers identify properties before they even come onto the market (using  a variety of techniques), in order to get our clients a property they want – at a price that they want. 

Since early February, the market has been flooded with home buyers in the Chicagoland area.  Buyer Broker Chicagoland has logged it’s best quarter in new clients and home closings in it’s ten year history.

We’ve represented clients in the $400,000-700,000 range in the Lincoln Park and Lakeview areas, and 700k to $1 million range in Bucktown, Ukranian Village, East Village, Wicker Park and other areas.

We are also representing clients in Arlington Heights, Palatine, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Long Grove, Lake Zurich, Libertyville, Schaumburg, Downers Grove, and Aurora areas from 300-800k.

Most of our clients have been referred to us from past clients.  Despite things being less of a buyer’s market than 2012 – we still beat the average price off in the communities we’ve had closings in – by about double the average price off for the entire area.

That kind of performance can be attributed to our extensive credentials – Certified Negotiation Consultant, Certified Negotiation Expert, Accredited Buyer Representative, Competitive Intelligence Professional, Graduate of the Realtor Institute, and Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource expert. and years of specialized expertise as an Exclusive Buyer Broker.

What Current or Future Home Buyer Can We Help and Protect Today?

Many home buyers don’t  know that Exclusive Buyer Agents exist.  If they did – it would be a no brainer to use one.

Home buyers do all sorts of wrong things – from picking the wrong type of agent (worst case – listing agent who represents purely the seller – because they just called the number off the sign), to using a buyer agent – because after all – they are calling themselves a “buyer agent” right?  So they MUST be a buyer agent right!  Would you like to buy a gong?  (Buyer agents work for companies that list properties for sale, and they do as well.  The only way you can call yourself an Exclusive Buyer Agent if if you and your company never represent sellers.)

What we do for home buyers at Buyer Broker Chicagoland is all about trust: 

Clients trust us because we are ALWAYS on their side – looking out for their best interests.   The same cannot always be said of traditional real estate agents – who represent both buyer (calling themselves a “buyer agent” when they are working with a buyer)  and seller – and can get into dual agency conflict of interest situations with their buyer client.

Our past clients have told us that we are helpful, answer questions quickly and in detail, are totally honest with them, we do the “right thing” – and do it right the first time, and if we don’t know the answer – we find the answer.  We do what we say we are going to do,  we find the home that the client loves, we are on-time for appointments, and most importantly (though according to a National Association of Realtors Survey – home buyers say that the top thing their agent can do for them -  is finding them the right home -  (negotiating the best price on it is far down the list – go figure!) – we out-negotiate the competition,

We start each day saying “Who can we help today?”   So – how can we help you today?  Feel free to call 847-566-7558 to find out.
