This is a question I receive frequently.
Despite what you see in the paper or on the news, Chicago, just like other large urban markets, doesn’t follow national trends as closely as smaller or less diverse markets. While some neighborhoods have an abundance of inventory, others are doing great and homes that are priced correctly are selling quickly. Through conversations with friends and prospective buyers and sellers I have an offer to anyone who is interested. If you would like to know when homes hit the market in your building, on your street, or in any building or street you are interested in watching, I have something in which you may be interested. Simply send me and email at rgossett@jameson.com and with a description of the area in which you are interested. For instance, if you live at 2624 N. Mildred (one of my old addresses), let me know you are interested in a 2 block radius and I can set up an automatic search. You will receive all new listings with descriptions when they hit the market, emails when they go under contract, and when they close. You will even receive the sale price.
I have set this up for a few of my clients and friends and have received postive feedback. For those of you who live in large buildings, it will give you the same info about your building alone, or perhaps yours and a neighboring building that is similar. If you really like a building and think you may perhaps like to live there some day, this will allow you to assess when may be a good time to make an offer on a unit.
The amount of email notices you receive will depend on how active your area of interest is. Some buildings have very little turnover and you may not receive emails for weeks at a time.
Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about this offering and if you are interested, please just send me a simple email and I will get your search set up. Additionally, the search can be cancelled at anytime by simply letting me know.
I look forward to hearing from you.

The market seems to be moving right along. Buyers are taking advantage of the what the media is telling them (It’s a buyers market)and are making offers. I am seeing a lot more activity with first time buyers than with buyers who have to sell first. Bottom line, properties that are priced right are selling. There are some deals to be had, but I am seeing sellers stand their ground. This week in particular has been very good. There has been a lot of movement both with my listings and with my coworker’s listings.
