What You’re Facing as a Buyer in 2025

• Higher Interest Rates
  Compared to just a couple of years ago, mortgage rates have risen. That means understanding your financing options and getting pre-approved is more important than ever.

• Low Inventory
  There are fewer homes on the market in many Chicagoland neighborhoods and suburbs. When a well-priced property hits the market, it often sells quickly and receives multiple offers.

• More Competition
  Serious buyers are doing their homework and coming in ready to act. In this environment, having the right agent and a clear plan can give you a competitive edge.

Steps to Take Before You Start House Hunting

1. Get Pre-Approved
   This should be your first move. A full pre-approval shows sellers you’re financially ready and gives you a clear picture of what you can afford.

2. Understand the Full Process
   From inspections and appraisals to negotiations and closing costs, you’ll need to know what to expect. That’s exactly what my guide explains in simple, straightforward language.

3. Have a Strategy
   Timing matters. So does your offer strategy. I help my buyers evaluate opportunities, avoid pitfalls, and secure the best possible terms.

4. Start with the Right Resources
   My free homebuyer’s guide is a great first step. It’s designed specifically for today’s market, and it’s packed with helpful tips and insights.
