It’s been an energetic season for Illinois real estate. Median prices for single-family homes have climbed 5.6%, reaching $347,500 statewide. In the Chicago metro area, we’re seeing an even stronger 7% jump to $450,000—and within the city limits, a remarkable 12% increase brings the median to $392,000. Meanwhile, listings are down by 6%, and homes are moving faster than ever—even with higher mortgage rates. This limited supply means both buyers and sellers need a thoughtful approach. Whether you’re hoping to find your perfect match or maximize your sale, these shifts highlight the importance of having someone in your corner who listens, understands your needs, and can help navigate the nuances of a fast-paced, competitive market. My goal is always to make sure you have the guidance and resources you need to make confident decisions, no matter how complex the situation.
