Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - February 1, 2010

Real Estate Agent with Dean's Team - Keller Williams Realty Partners Chicago IL

Good Evening!

Here's our update on Chicago IL Real Estate Market Statistics, based on data compiled and reviewed Sunday Evening, January 31st.  

Is the Chicago Real Estate Market beginning to recover?

Although Active Listing Inventory has been stable for several weeks, Pending Sales have remained low, week to week..  Closed Sales picked up, uncharacteristically for mid-month.  

Sales Volume, although up considerably versus last week, remains low compared to recent weekly averages. Average Market Time continues high, Average Sales Price - reflective of pricing trends in the Chicago Area as a whole - continues its declining trend.

Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, continues its weeks-long march higher, a very disturbing trend. The Percentage of Homes Selling in an Estimated Six-Month Marketing Time Frame fell considerably over last week.  Also troubling!

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.
