Chicagoland Housing Market Hits its Spring Sprint The sales of detached, single-family homes were up 7.5% year over year in March, with 2,134 homes sold compared to 1,985 a year ago. Homes spent an average of 53 days on market, down slightly from 54 days last year. Median prices were up nearly 5%, from $385,000 in March 2025 to $403,250 last month.

April showers do not stop spring.
They create it.

The same rain that feels inconvenient is the same rain that helps things grow.

Your home goals are no different.

The saving.
The planning.
The paperwork.
The waiting.
The learning.
The discipline.

That is the planting season.

And the person who plants with intention does not have to chase luck later.

They are already rooted.

If buying, selling, or making a move has been on your mind, this is your reminder: you do not need to rush. You need the right strategy.

Make the right move.

Where there’s history, there may be a haunting… and Lockport, Illinois is FULL of history.

Over the next few months, we’ll be releasing FIVE paranormal documentaries about FIVE different locations in Lockport. Places with history, places that could be haunted.

In these films, we dive into the history of these places, interviewing historians, business owners, and witnesses who may give us a better insight. We then spend the night using various pieces of equipment and methods to try to communicate with what might be there.

First episode at the Roxy Theater drops later this month free to watch on Blood Moon Paranormal, more details on the exact date coming soon.

Our April glow-up is all about simple ideas to help you feel positive, refreshed, and confident. There is a full month of activities for you to try, from get-togethers to routines.

See how many of the ideas you can do next month. If any particular ideas help you feel more confident or refreshed, you can think about ways to build a more regular routine with the ideas.

Open houses aren’t really about the snacks or the sign-in sheet.

They are about how you are guided once you walk through the door.

I recently completed my Open House Certification to refine how I use open houses to create real opportunities. Not just traffic, but actual help for real people.

Because a well-run open house can do more than show a home. It can:

• help you understand what you are actually looking for
• answer questions you did not even know to ask
• uncover opportunities on both the buying and selling side
• turn a simple visit into a clear next step

Yes, there might be cookies. I am still going to eat one. But I am really there for the conversations.

I believe every detail matters and every conversation matters.

My goal is never to rush you or pressure you.
It is to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your decisions.

Because real estate is not just about opening doors. It is about what happens after you walk through them.

What is your go to snack?

Everybody loves to scream “buy a house” like one answer fits everybody.

It doesn’t.

Sometimes renting is the right move.
Sometimes buying is the power move.
The goal is to choose what actually works for your lifestyle, finances, and next chapter.

Make the move that makes sense for you.
