What this means if you’re selling in Naperville
Prices are up, but so is the number of homes competing with yours, and fall buyers are taking longer to decide. In Naperville, being priced right in the first two weeks matters more than it did in the spring. If you’re thinking about listing this fall or early next year, start with an honest pricing review based on your own subdivision.
