One of the biggest myths in real estate is “timing the market.” Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s entirely false! Buying or selling in real estate is all based off your personal needs, goals, and wants. So, don’t worry about timing the market. You’ll drive yourself crazy! Just do what’s best for you in your current situation. #realtor #chicagorealtor #chicagorealestate #realestate #realestatetips #realestatetricks #realtortips #timingthemarket #housingmarket #market Let's Chat About Your Real Estate Needs: https://calendly.com/andrewcoppens Find Me on Social Media: Instagram: https://instragram.com/closewithcoppens Facebook: https://facebook.com/closewithcoppens Find Out More About Living In Chicago: https://closewithcoppens.com
