Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - March 16, 2009

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

Good Morning!

(ED. NOTE:  We apologize for the delay in posting this week's Chicago IL Market Stats.  I was knocked out of commission earlier this week with a bad cold!  Normal Chicago Stats Posting Schedule - every Monday Morning - resumes next week!)

A few encouraging signs in the past week!

Units Sold, Sales Volume, Properties Under Contract, and Average Market Time all showed improvement over the past week!  Expired Listings showed their usual middle-of-the-month dip.

First-Time Homebuyers are calling in increasing numbers on our listings - although a few are getting skittish over even the most minor inspection issues. 

Active Listing Inventory remains stable in the North and Northwest Sides of Chicago Market Area we serve. 

However, the escalation in the Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, remains troubling.  Also, each week, a smaller percentage of homes sell within a normal six-month marketing time frame.

Here are archived annual Chicago Neighborhood Statistics, including Units Sold and Price Trends Data, for 1992 through 2007, courtesy of The Chicago Association of Realtors.  Updated 2008 stats will be available before the end of the First Quarter, 2009.

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.

Communities and clients we serve, reside, or plan to reside, in the Chicago Neighborhoods of The Chicago Loop, The Gold Coast, River North, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Uptown, Edgewater, North Center, Lincoln Square, Albany Park, Ravenswood, Wicker Park, and Bucktown.
