Categorized in: Market and Trends

Well we may be starting off a bit slower than in the past, but the forecast is looking promising for many experts. 

Here is this week's data supplied from the Chicago Association of Realtors of how many homes have entered the market the period of January 10th through the 16th in 2008 in relationship to previous years.

    2008     2007     2006
  UNITS MEDIAN   UNITS MEDIAN   UNITS MEDIAN
Single Family 594 $244,900   611 $289,900   492 $284,900
Attached Homes 958 $290,00   1080 $299,900   937 $299,900
Multi-Family 368 $310,000   332 $365,000   295 $339,900

 Here are the homes that have left the market during this period.

    2008     2007     2006
  UNITS MEDIAN   UNITS MEDIAN   UNITS MEDIAN
Single Family 72 $192,500   94 $240,875   129 $220,000
