Lincoln Park/ Old Town (60614):
- Condos: We saw some inventory growth last month, but it didn’t stick. Sellers market across the board.
- SFH: Seller’s market in the bottom quartiles up to around 3M. No change really from last month here. Seeing more inventory in the upper/middle quartile between 3M and 4.25M. This market now favors the buyer. Upper quartile above 4M is a strong buyer’s market.
Lakeview (60657)
- Condos: Still a hardcore seller’s market (what else is new), but we are seeing good inventory growth across the board. We saw a decent jump in inventory from April to May, but we are not flat from May to June.
SFH: Firms seller’s market in the lower quartiles under 2.2M. Upper quartiles favor the buyer slightly. April had a record amount of inventory for these quartiles at 7.1 months, but this is now below 6 months. Overall, inventory is trending upwards for the upper quartiles.

- SFH: Not enough data
West Town/Wicker/East Humboldt (60622)
- Condos: Still a seller’s market, but we are seeing inventory growth here, which is offering some WELL NEEDED relief to buyers here. This market has been so insanely unhealthy, so it is nice to see % of properties with price decreases break out MOM.
- SFH: Seller’s market. Seeing price cuts and market time begin to tick up.
Logan/Buck (60647)
- Condo: Seller’s market across the board STILL. Inventory flat MOM. Prices are not necessarily going up here, but they are sticking. Should start to see some seasonal relief soon.
- SFH: We saw a big jump in inventory from April to May. Inventory is about flat MOM but trending upwards. Still a seller’s market but cooling down some.

River North
- Condos: Slight seller’s market sub 550k in the lower quartiles. 550k-1M is a buyer’s market. The higher the price point, the more favorable the market for buyers. Severe buyer’s market 1M and higher.
