It definitely is still a buyer’s market due to the vast inventory of homes currently available. Buyers are taking their time when it comes to making a decision about their purchase. Naperville real estate still represents an area where buyers can find very affordable housing in the $250,000 to $400,000 range. There are approximately 300 properties on the market in Naperville that are within this price range.

There are a number of dynamics that can affect a property’s market time. The single most important thing a seller can do to lessen the time their home is on the market is to price their home correctly the first time.

Naperville sellers typically see the highest number of showings when the house first comes on the market. Although we currently find ourselves in a softer market we can see fluctuation in the number of showings. The main reason a home will languish on the market without selling is incorrect pricing. It’s important to get the benefit of an experienced real estate agent, particularly in a market where you are competing with many more properties and fewer buyers.
