🚨 Waiting to buy in Chicago could be costing you more than you think.
According to NAR, the median sales price in the City of Chicago for May 2026 was $415,000 — up 7.4% from May 2025.
That means the typical home price increased by about $28,600 in just one year.
So when buyers say, “I’ll wait until prices come down,” the real question is:
What if waiting makes the home you want even more expensive?
Buying a home is not just about today’s price — it’s about timing, affordability, monthly payment, and your long-term goals.
Thinking about buying? Let’s run the numbers and see what makes sense for you.
