You guys, I love talking about things that I feel like I shouldn't talk about. When you feel like something is off limits for any reason, there's usually just a lot of energy around it. Of course, there's a lot of energy around selling your house! For some reason, I feel like no one talks a lot about pricing and what your house is worth, but I'm not really sure why…

The Great Recession was unique in that it was caused by the housing and lending sectors and then spread out into the rest of the economy. There were specific characteristics present at that time that still are not present now. Now that we're a decade out from that recession I have people mention another housing bubble bursting, or another huge housing crash, and the truth is, at least in the Chicagoland area, is that we are still experiencing a relatively low housing inventory in comparison to the number of buyers who are active in the market…

When we think something is impossible, is it really? Or is it just not possible for us because we think it's impossible? The more years I'm here on this big round ball of air and water, the more I'm realizing that so much of what we think and feel and believe is just programmed into us day after day, second after second, for most of our lives... it's not right or wrong, it's just what we know...

Hi there! I've been a little pre-occupied with our renovation lately, but we are in full spring work mode over here and today I wanted to talk about something that I get lots of questions from people about all of the time ~ what's the real estate market like right now? How can someone possibly be successful in this market?! Honestly, I get tons of questions all the time…

You guys, it's officially official, we bought a house! I shared the super exciting news a few weeks ago, but I also wanted to share our/my experience of going through the actual process, because I feel like it's something people don't really talk about. Sure, your friends might tell you when they are doing it, but does anyone really share what it's actually like to go through this crazy process?
