How much should I offer on a home in Chicago?

To figure out how much to offer on a home in Chicago, look at the median listing price, which is currently $392,500. This is 4.1% higher than it was a year ago, but it has dipped slightly by 0.5% in the most recent month. Right now, there are 14,609 homes for sale, which is 7.0% fewer than last year. The number of brand new listings has also gone down by 5.5% over the past year, with 10,056 new homes coming on the market. Homes are selling a bit faster than last year, spending a median of 35 days on the market, a 2.8% decrease. This suggests homes are still moving relatively quickly. About 14.1% of homes have had their prices reduced, which is a little less common than last year. The median price per square foot is $221, up 2.9% from a year ago. Considering these numbers, homes are still in demand, but the slight monthly price dip and the percentage of price reductions suggest there might be some room for negotiation. However, fewer homes for sale and shorter time on the market indicate competition for well-priced homes.
