Market Pulse: Chicago Housing Market: House Prices & Trends | Redfin
Here’s your daily real estate market update from Team Goddard, keeping Chicagoland buyers and sellers informed about what’s moving in today’s market.
Chicago Housing Market: House Prices & Trends | Redfin
In March 2026, Chicago home prices were up 5.1% compared to last year, selling for a median price of $410K. On average, homes in Chicago sell after 50 days on the market compared to 55 days last year.
What this means for Chicagoland: National trends don’t always apply directly to DuPage County and the greater Chicago suburbs. Our local market — particularly in Bartlett, Elgin, Schaumburg, Carol Stream, and Bloomingdale — tends to be more stable than coastal markets thanks to consistent local demand and relative affordability compared to national benchmarks.
