Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - April 6, 2009

Good Morning!

Here's our Chicago Market Stats Update, based on data compiled Sunday evening, April 5, 2009.

The jump in Closed Units and Expired Listings is somewhat typical for the end of the month, and the end of the quarter.   Indeed, many over-priced listings set to expire at the end of the First Quarter, 2009 have done so.  Those properties priced correctly, it would seem, have sold.

Active Listings again stable. Sales Volume up SIGNIFICANTLY - but let's see if this trend continues in the coming weeks.  Average Market Time still considerably high in the North and Northwest Side of Chicago Communities we serve most frequently.

Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, again improved.  However, the downward trend in the percentage of homes sell within a normal six-month marketing time frame has continued.

Here are archived annual Chicago Neighborhood Statistics, including Units Sold and Price Trends Data, for 1992 through 2007, courtesy of The Chicago Association of Realtors.  Updated 2008 stats will be available soon.

In addition, here is an Interactive Median Price Heat Map, from the Chicago Tribune Real Estate Section, covering Every Chicago Neighborhood.  View the map for links to maps for Chicago Suburbs.  It is updated as new data becomes available.
