Scarlett, I think your Cedarlake Ave listing is well-appointed for the $450K range is it asking (reduced from $475K), esp since it feeds into renowned “communications magnet” Benchley-Wienberger Elem (API 910).
If you don’t mind my asking, are you locked into a lease right now? In other words, is there something preventing you from making an offer on a suitable residence at present? And, if so, is the amount it would take to exit a lease worth waiting for the end of the lease in order to make a deal on a principal residence for you?
If so, my second question is, do you think the RE market will be lower and “less competitive” than it is at present, when you are finally ready to buy??
