Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - August 31, 2009

Good Morning!

Here's our Chicago Market Stats Update, based on data compiled Sunday evening, August 30, 2009.

A continued downtrend in Active Listings - perhaps as many distressed, highly-discounted properties are beginning to sell - is very encouraging.  Pending Sales, as well as Closed Transactions - those presumably under contract a month or so ago - are up, and that is a very good sign!

However, Average Market Time remains very high, and the Average Sales Price fell over 5% last week, perhaps indicative of the many lower-priced homes which actually sell. 

The Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, continues optimistically downward!  The Percentage of Homes Selling in an Estimated Six-Month Marketing Time Frame continues to improve, over the last several weeks, as well. 

Here are archived annual Chicago Neighborhood Statistics, including Units Sold and Price Trends Data, for 1995 through 2008 courtesy of The Chicago Association of Realtors.

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.
