Chicago home sales<\/a> rose 10.7% year over year to 8,542 in September, according to the latest RE\/MAX National Housing Report<\/a>. Month over month, sales were down 9.5%.<\/p>\n

Active listings, meanwhile, increased 5.1% amid a 6.6% annual increase in new listings. Months of inventory declined 3.6% to 2.1, however.<\/p>\n

Nationally, home sales in the 52 metro areas surveyed by RE\/MAX increased 8.5% year over year for the fourth time in 2025, but declined 4.6% month over month. <\/p>\n

New listings increased 4.5% month over month and 0.9% year over year, boosting active listings annually for the 21st consecutive month.<\/p>\n

Months\u2019 supply of inventory was three months, up from 2.8 months in August and 2.6 months in September 2024. Miami continued to lead the nation in months\u2019 supply, with seven months following a 7.8% annual bump. <\/p>\n

The median-sales price<\/a> rose 2.1% year over year to $439,000 but declined 1.3% month over month. The average close-to-list-price ratio was 98%, down from 99% in both August and September 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cSmart buyers are turning to their agents for strategic guidance \u2014 and it\u2019s paying off, as many are still successfully negotiating favorable prices,\u201d RE\/MAX CEO Erik Carlson said. \u201cAt the same time, sellers can be confident in the continued demand for homes. As inventory grows and market dynamics shift, the months ahead may bring more balance to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago home sales rose 10.7% year over year to 8,542 in September, according to the latest RE\/MAX National…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":81208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[960,59696,55662,5386,1818,108,55666,161899,17506],"class_list":{"0":"post-324561","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago","8":"tag-chicago","9":"tag-chicago-real-estate","10":"tag-erik-carlson","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-illinois","13":"tag-national-news","14":"tag-re-max","15":"tag-re-max-national-housing-report","16":"tag-sc"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115419387276707062","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
