Chicagoland Rising Home Prices

23 of 25 Chicagoland suburbs surveyed saw year-over-year price increases this month.  Some were in double-digits!

Before we get to the details, let's look at some highlights.

MEDIAN SALES PRICE

The current median sale price in the Chicagoland suburban market is $228,900.  This is up 6.5% YoY (year-over-year).  Of the 25 areas we looked at, Campton Hills saw the highest median sales price at $467,500.  At the low end, Elgin comes in at $178,500.

Of the 25 suburbs we surveyed, 5 of them are experiencing a sellers market (less than 3 months of inventory).  If you live in BartlettCarol StreamHanover ParkHuntley or Warrenville it's time to SELL!  18 suburbs are in a stable market, while 2 areas (Campton Hills and Wayne) are in a buyers market with more supply than demand.

It's so good to hear from you and other area agents/brokers that Chicagoland is finally seeing rising equity and values once again, Matt Kombrink.  Hopefully we soon see this FACT motivating more Sellers to enter the market.  And of course when they do in St. Charles and the surrounding area ... they should contact Matt Kombrink ...
