David Bowen and I are here in one of our lofts in the South Loop and we wanted to take the opportunity to give you a quick overview of the South Loop area and what it offers.

The South Loop is a mix of cultural attractions and surrounding new developments. Museum Campus is great. They have the Adler Planetarium, which puts on the Adler at Night program every third Thursday of the month. Also in the Museum Campus area are Burnham Harbor, the Field Museum, and Northerly Island. The Museum Park Lofts are also located near Museum Campus.

Soldier Field is just one of many area attractions.

Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears, is in the area as well. If we go south of the South Loop, of course we have a lot of car dealerships, the home of the annual Chicago Auto Show, and tons of new residential and commercial development. Depaul University is building a new basketball arena in the area as well.

As you can see, the South Loop is a great place to be right now. If you have any questions for us or are interested in taking a look at some of the great properties we have in this area, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.

We are back again to discuss the benefits of selling your home this winter. A lot of sellers, prospects, and clients always ask us what the benefits of selling now are versus waiting until the spring to do so.

One big benefit is that the buyers in this market are more serious. During this time of the year, people aren’t going out in the cold to see homes if they aren’t serious about buying. They are in the market to purchase a home, and it could be yours.

There are more serious buyers out there now.

Tax advantages are another big thing. A lot of buyers want to take advantage of them before the end of the calendar year. Because we are in the winter, there are fewer sellers on the market, too. There will be 30% to 40% more of them in the spring, so right now you have limited competition that can translate into a financial benefit.

Finally, a lot of new job transfers will be coming here after the new year. They represent a segment of buyers that you can capture by listing your home now.

If you have any questions for us, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.
