Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Chicago metro area

The real estate frenzy spurred by the coronavirus pandemic continues, though at a slower pace. Buyers are still competing for a limited supply of housing, driving up prices for affordable properties.

The typical home value in the United States was $362,143 in August, 2.5% higher than the year before.

Increasing mortgage rates have slowed growth, with prices even declining in some places. But some areas are still seeing price jumps compared to the year before.

Stacker compiled a list of cities with the most expensive homes in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI metro area using data from Zillow. Charts show the monthly typical home value since January 2018.
