Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - October 19, 2009

Good Morning!

Here's our Chicago Market Stats Update, based on data compiled Sunday evening, October 18, 2009.

This past week, Sales Volume and Closed Properties showed improvement, although we are far from convinced the week-by-week see-saw for these numbers is coming to an end.  

Active Listings continue to moderate, typical for this time of year in the North and Northwest Side of Chicago Neighborhoods we serve most frequently.  Once again this week, however Average Sales Prices fell, and, encouragingly, so did Average Market Time.

Pending Sales gave back last week's gain, a curious see-saw this time of the year as well.

Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, continues to improve, as does the Percentage of Homes Selling in an Estimated Six-Month Marketing Time Frame.   During the past week, 44.5% of all listed properties sell during this average marketing time frame - a considerable improvement over the same numbers earlier this year. 

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.
