Good Morning!
Here's our Chicago Market Stats Update, based on data compiled Sunday evening, April 19, 2009.
The week-to-week see-saw continues, with Closed Units and Pending Sales posting gains this week that wash out last weeks declines. Unfortunately, the number of Expired Listings climbed this week as well.
While stability pervades the count on Active Listings, the Average Sales Price showed an unwelcome decline. Average Market Time improved, but continues very high in the North and Northwest Side of Chicago Communities we serve most frequently. Sales Volume increased nearly 19% this week versus last.
Absorption Rate - the theoretical time to clear existing homes-for-sale inventory, again improved, while the downward trend in the percentage of homes sell within a normal six-month marketing time frame is still low.
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.

Mmmm. DOM is still pretty high. I believe (without looking) that ours is more in the 100 day range with more or less depending on county.
Interesting. Glad it's on the "improved" direction.
