In this episode of Get Real with Eddie, we're breaking down how you can take advantage of the latest shifts in the housing market — whether you're buying, selling, or planning for the future. We kick things off by sharing key takeaways from the Springfield REALTORS® event and what they mean for today’s buyers and sellers. We then dive into how rising inventory, softening demand, and recent price cuts are creating new opportunities, especially for buyers looking for more negotiating power. If you’ve recently received your tax return, we explain how to leverage those funds as a smart tool in your home purchase. Next, we analyze the latest sales data for Grundy County, highlighting trends and insights to help guide your decisions locally. We also discuss how to evaluate whether your current home still fits your long-term retirement plans and offer clear steps to determine if it’s time to right-size. Finally, we wrap up with five practical strategies to make your offer stand out and get noticed by sellers in a competitive market. Whether you're planning to buy, sell, or simply stay informed, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you profit from today’s market shifts and strategies.
