Buffalo Grove Real Estate Market Update
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Three months into 2021 and it’s really starting to feel like Spring outside. The demand for Buffalo Grove Real Estate markets continues to amaze, but we just don’t have enough homes for sale. Despite a significant decline in total homes for sale, closings are solid and homes going under contract are at record levels. The overall results are remarkable due to a lack of inventory – Buyers are out in force and well priced, nicely updated homes are selling in days. With historically low interest rates, buyer demand should stay strong, prices should continue to increase, putting potential sellers in the best situation we have seen since early 2007.
