Downsizing in December: Why Late-Year Sellers Win in Naperville & Oswego

Thinking about downsizing in Naperville or Oswego? December is one of the best times of the entire year to sell — thanks to low inventory, motivated buyers, and fewer competing listings.

In this video, I break down why late-year sellers often walk away with higher net proceeds, cleaner offers, and less prep work than spring sellers.

If you're downsizing in 2025 or early 2026, this will save you time, money, and stress.

✅ FAQs:
Q: Is December really a good time to sell in Naperville or Oswego?
Yes — low inventory and motivated buyers make December one of the strongest net-proceed months for downsizers.

Q: Will buyers overlook cosmetic flaws in winter?
Generally yes. With fewer options, buyers focus more on structure and layout, not paint and carpet.

Q: Should I wait until spring for more buyers?
Spring brings more buyers and more competing listings. Many sellers net more by selling now.

Q: Does downsizing mean I need to buy before I sell?
Not always. You can time both using rent-backs, HELOCs, or builder incentives.
