Market slowing or freezing cold temps?

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty

 

 As you can see, the market has slowed down significantly in our area for January, but you have to realize, it was January!  We've had record precipitation this year and abnormally cold days!  There was significant flooding in Iroquois county and flood warnings in parts of Kankakee County.  I'm waiting to see what February holds with the -12 temps we are having today - February 19th! 

  The buyers are still out there!  I've had a number of showings the past 2 weeks - even with the temperatures holding a steady 10 degrees or less. 

  Real Estate is a great investment!!

This weather and the snow and ice have definitely had an impact over the past few weeks here in Lake Zurich ~ Lake County. But, what it boils down to is that the serious buyers are still out there looking!

It looks like winter has had an effect on many of the colder climates.  We have had so much snow and then wet weather or my personal not favorite "wintery mix."  I am looking foward to the spring thaw!
