Potential homebuyers in McHenry County might find themselves locked in a bidding war or paying more than expected in a fast-paced market with limited inventory, which picked up during the pandemic and has continued as restriction began to ease.
Although fewer houses than usual are for sale, those that are listed are selling fast and often for tens of thousands more than the asking price, said Crystal Lake real estate agent Rick O Connor of Realty Executive Cornerstone.
