Our clients are often at the forefront of trends in the real estate industry, so when they notice a shift in the market, we take their insights straight to the media. In this case, Taylor Johnson client Downtown Realty Company (DRC) experienced a surge in traffic during December and January, which are historically slow months for home sales. With data in hand, we worked with the Chicago Tribune’s real estate team on this feature story about why the market heated up during the coldest months of the year and what that means for 2020 spring sales.

According to Downtown Realty Company, the Chicago market saw an increase in both the overall number of home sales and median price of homes sold in January.
