A reminder if you are selling a home in Chicago ...

Starting April 1st, anybody who sells a home or piece of real estate in the city of Chicago will owe the city more money.

Earlier this month, the Chicago city council approved a measure that requires the seller to pay an additional $3 per $1,000 as part of the real estate transfer tax.

The additional money collected is part of the CTA bailout deal the state legislature passed recently.
