A Downward Trend that Favors Sellers

Realtor Scott Kelly explains how one downward trend in Evanston Real Estate is proving to be to the advantage of sellers, not buyers.

A quick look at the chart shows that available home inventory in the Evanston Real Estate Market continues to trend downward.

But don’t think for a minute that it’s a “buyers market” in Evanston today. The data no longer shows a downward trend in prices in the Evanston Real Estate market. It’s often just the opposite. In fact, many sellers are taking this opportunity to maximize the price of their home sale while supply remains outpaced by demand. Multiple offer situations have been a common occurrence in these first few months of 2013. With the Spring season just around the corner, the time to think about important housing decisions is now.

If you are a homeowner in Evanston and you’re thinking about making a move, seeking the advice of a few local real estate professionals is a wise thing to do. Realtors like myself have a wealth of local data and neighborhood insights that are not easily found through data-aggregating websites such as Zillow, Trulia and the others.

That old saying is still true: “What are the three most important factors in the value of real estate? Location. Location. And location.” And what so many Evanstonians know by experience is also true: There’s nothing quite like living in this great little city called Evanston.
