Put the Super Bowl Behind You

It may seem silly on the surface, but the Super Bowl typically marks the kickoff of the annual “spring market” in real estate, when sellers finally put their homes on the market and buyers hit the pavement in earnest. It makes more sense in Chicago this year with the Bears playing in the big game, but nationally the Super Bowl has pretty much become part of the extended holiday season, the last excuse real estate procrastinators could hold on to before making a move. So if you’re in the market, expect some more action, and competition, starting today.
