Thinking of Moving in Naperville? What You Need to Know This Fall

Are you thinking about moving to a bigger home in Naperville, or wondering what your current home is worth?

You are not alone! A lot of local families are asking the exact same questions right now.

The real estate market is always changing, but autumn in Naperville is a great time to look at your options. Let’s break down what is happening in our neighborhoods in plain, simple terms so you can make the best choice for your family.

Why Home Values Are Staying High

You might have heard on the news that mortgage interest rates are higher right now—around 7.4%. You might wonder: Does that mean home prices are going down?

In Naperville, the answer is no! The median price for a home here is between $650,000 and $660,000, which is up over 13% from last year.

Here is the simple reason why: there are way more buyers than there are homes for sale.

Many homeowners have super-low interest rates from a few years ago, so they aren't listing their houses. Because fewer homes are available, buyers who are ready to move have to compete for what is out there. Most homes in Naperville are selling in less than a month.

3 Simple Tips if You Want to Sell

If you want to get top dollar for your home without sitting on the market, keep these three things in mind:

1. First Impressions Matter: Buyers today don't want to spend extra money on big repairs. Fresh paint, clean floors, and small fixes go a very long way.

2. Price It Right from Day One: Overpricing a home means it might sit on the market, making buyers think something is wrong with it. Pricing it accurately based on recent neighborhood sales creates excitement right away.

3. Plan Your Next Move Early: If you need to sell your house before you can buy a new one, talk to a local team first. We can help you set up a schedule so you never feel rushed or stranded.
