What it means
Reading the Mount Prospect market
Prices are up about 6% from last year and houses sell close to their original list price, in about a month. More homes are coming on the market than a year ago, so pricing has to be precise: buyers here compare every house against the last one that sold on the street. Overpricing by even a little means the home sits.
Buyers should expect competition on the best-priced homes. A clean offer with solid financing often beats a higher one with more conditions.
