See below: Even if you are not a resident or property owner in the South Shore Community, you might find value in the information being shared if you are a condo/co-op owner, or if you are a realtor with clients (past or present) who might be facing issues with their HOA.

Neighborhood Network Alliance (NNA) invites condo and cooperative owners, board members, and shareholders on Chicago’s South Side—especially South Shore—to a 60‑minute Zoom meeting to form an owner‑led association. We’ll discuss building a collective voice to tackle excessive violations and fines, receivership risk, deferred repairs, unsafe conditions, and agency inaction — and to leverage funding and resources together.
When: Monday, January 26th • 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm (60 minutes)

Chicago, Illinois, December 2025, Single Family + Condo/Townhouse/Apt.

Are prices rising?
The median sold price in Chicago is holding steady at $349,000 with no month-over-month change, indicating a stable market for both buyers and sellers.

Is inventory increasing?
Inventory levels have declined with a -12% change over the past month and a -19% change over the past year, leaving us with a 1.74-month supply, which might encourage sellers to list now while demand is high.

How long do properties stay on the market?
The median days in RPR for sold listings is 16, a 14% increase from last month, suggesting that while homes are moving quickly, buyers still have a short window to make decisions.

What should I consider when buying and selling simultaneously?
With 1,486 new listings at a median price of $349,900 and a median pending list price of $324,950, coordinating timing is crucial to capitalize on current trends and potentially secure favorable conditions for both buying and selling.

Chicago is home to iconic landmarks like Millennium Park and robust public transportation options with the CTA, offering residents a vibrant lifestyle. Want to see this information for your specific zip code? DM me or email me at [email protected].
