The average home price in Lincoln Park, one of the more stable areas north of the Loop, didn’t decline as much after the crash. It actually climbed 30%, bringing the median price of a single-family home up to $1.9 million in the third quarter, according to the Chicago Association of Realtors. That’s compared to a pre-crash 2006 peak of $1.4 million, according to Chicagotribune.com.
Overall, given that home values have gone up 8% in the past year, Chicago is a seller’s market.
