Good Morning, AR!
Here's the latest Stat Summary on the Chicago Real Estate Market, based on data pulled yesterday evening, June 8, 2008 -
Strong rebounds across the board this week - and that is encouraging!
Listing Inventory was stable over the past week, while Properties Pending Sale jumped sharply - over 26%!. The Average Sales Price for Single Family, Condos, and Small Investment Apartment Buildings - two-four units - rebounded as well, although the average was down considerably last week. Average Market Time continues high.
The number of Sold Properties and Expired Property Listings increased for the second week, even though it is mid-month.
Due to the increase in Average Sales Price, Sales Volume increased nearly 40% last week. Let's see if the trend continues next week.
Absorption Rate, or average inventory turnover, was pretty much stable this past week - but is still high in parts of the City of Chicago. The rate currently stands just over 27.2 months, down just 1% since last Sunday.
Percentage of Sale Within Six Month (180 Days) improved nearly 3/4 percent this past week, to 22.57%. It is still very low, however - reflecting continued high average market times.
