Chicago continues to defy the national narrative — while much of the country sees softening prices and rising inventory, we're sitting at a mere 0.75 months of supply with homes selling at 100% of asking price. The Fed meets tomorrow (June 16–17) and markets are pricing in a 99.6% chance of no rate change, but two cuts are still on the table for later this year — which means now is actually a smart window to negotiate before rates potentially drive more buyers into the market. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or investing, I'd love to talk strategy. — Slawomir, (773) 837-4815

With inventory at less than one month of supply, Chicago is running one of the tightest seller's markets in the country right now — yet buyers are sometimes walking away from deals because rates feel "too high." Here's my take: rates at 6.5% are not going to feel high two years from now. What will feel painful is having missed a $380K home that's now worth $420K. If you're a seller, this is still a moment of real strength — price it right, present it well, and you'll get at or above asking. If you're a buyer, come in competitive or come in prepared to keep looking. I've navigated this market through all its cycles and I'm happy to run the numbers with you personally.
In a market where 44% of homes go under contract within two weeks, getting pre-approved before you start your search isn't optional — it's the difference between being a real buyer and a spectator. Call your lender, get your letter in hand, and let's start touring. The right home won't wait for paperwork.
Chicago pozostaje jednym z najtrudniejszych rynków dla kupujących w całym kraju — dostępność mieszkań wynosi zaledwie 0,75 miesiąca, a mediana ceny sprzedaży sięga 380 000 dolarów, co oznacza wzrost o 5,4% rok do roku. Rezerwa Federalna nie zmieni stóp procentowych na najbliższym posiedzeniu (16–17 czerwca), jednak rynki oczekują dwóch obniżek w drugiej połowie roku. Jeśli zastanawiasz się nad kupnem lub sprzedażą nieruchomości w Chicago, teraz jest dobry czas, żeby porozmawiać o strategii.
