Market Pulse: Illinois 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.

Illinois Housing Market: House Prices & Trends | Redfin

In March 2026, 36.0% of homes in Illinois sold above list price, down 0.5 points yearover year. There were only 16.7% of homes that had price drops, up from 16.0% of homes in March 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.
