Mary Umberger hits the nail on the head in this piece from the Trib. If you're thinking about hanging around until the Superbowl (Saints vs. Colts?) to put your place on the market, you're waiting too long.
As we discussed last year, February ranks in the top half of when buyer decisions are made (at least in the condo market). Waiting until March is probably waiting too long. And anecdotally, I can tell you that I've sold plenty of listings in previous Januarys.
On Thursday this week we'll have the month/month breakdown of contracts written in Chicago over the past few years.
