This week Zillow released their 2nd Quarter Home Value Reports, detailing what is happening with home values around the country and in the Chicago metro. 

When you look at greater Chicagoland, overall homes experienced a 7.3% year over year decline in value.  The up side to this is that if you have owned your home for more than 5 years, overall we are still up 2.3% (which is a lot better than what other US metros can say).

Here are some of the biggest gains and losses in the area:

  • Quarter over Quarter:  Lake Bluff, up 5.8% ; Melrose Park (60160), down 6.5%
  • Year over Year: 60605, up 6.7% ; 60620, up 6.4% ;  Northbrook, down 19.2% ; Des Plaines, down 18.4%
  • 5 yr change: North Center and Austin, up 7.7% ; Plainfield (60585), down 1.2%
  • 10 yr change: Logan Square, up 9.7% ; Harvard, up 1.4%

Before you start calculating what 7.3% is of what you think your house is worth, remember that real estate is LOCAL.  I give you those far reaching numbers, so that you have a benchmark.  But it is important to know what is happening in your immediate area, and various neighborhoods are experiencing different growth rates. 

Here is a partial list of some of the more popular areas in Chicagoland.  For a complete list or to see other areas of the country, please visit this link to Zillow's Home Value Reports and click on the EXCEL icon next to the Chicago title.

Sara, I really like the presentation.  I am not sure where you got your stats but if you could tie a template with macros to populate the post, this could easily be a monthly, weekly post to your sphere of influence. AJ

Hey AJ-

The stats are based on a Home Values Report that Zillow releases every quarter based on the fluations of the Home Value Index (or Zindex).  If you really want to know, this is a great methodology read -http://www.zillowblog.com/zillow-home-value-index-compared-to-ofheo-and-case-shiller-indexes/2008/03/

You are absolutely right about embedding the information and we have actually set up an easy way for you to do this.  If interested, please read this blog post - http://www.zillowblog.com/bloggers-q1-home-value-report-data-is-portable/2008/05/
