According to a recent report on Fox 32 Chicago, real estate experts predict that home prices may decline this summer across the Chicago area. While that might sound like good news for buyers, it raises serious questions for sellers—especially those waiting for the “perfect time” to list.
At Modern Times Homes LLC, we work with homeowners every day in Rockford, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, Streamwood, and beyond—and we’re already seeing signs that this market is changing.
⬇️ Why Prices May Be Dropping
The reasons behind the projected dip in prices include:
- High interest rates discouraging buyers
- A sudden increase in listings
- Fewer bidding wars
- Rising inventory and longer days on market
If you’re a homeowner thinking about selling, this shift could affect how much you walk away with—and how long it takes to find a serious buyer.
⏳ Waiting Could Cost You
Some sellers are still hoping that prices will go back up. But in a declining market, the longer you wait, the more equity you could lose. Homes that might have fetched top dollar last year may need price cuts just to get showings today.
This especially impacts:
- Homes needing updates or repairs
- Properties with tenants or inherited homes
- Sellers going through financial hardship or divorce
