Chicago IL Market Statistics Update - January 11, 2010

Good Evening!

Here's our update on Chicago IL Real Estate Market Statistics, based on data compiled and reviewed Sunday Evening, January 10th. 

Active Listing Inventory was stable last week.  Typically, inventory spikes a bit immediately after the first of the year, with the holidays being over.  Data from the next few weeks will determine if this is a continuing trend, or just a blip on the radar screen.

Most of the other numbers are predictably down in the first business week of 2010.  However, a climb in Pending Sales, and a drop in Average Market Time, is encouraging if the trend continues.   Another surprise - Average Sales Price, in the Chicago North and Northwest Side Neighborhoods we serve extensively, rose nearly 6%!  This rise counters recent trends - again, let's see if it is long or short term. 

Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, is slightly inching up, but still far stronger than the one year or greater figure of early, 2009.  

The Percentage of Homes Selling in an Estimated Six-Month Marketing Time Frame remains over 57%, but fell slightly over the past week.

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.
