Finding a home in Chicago just got tougher—available listings in the city dropped nearly 25% last month, making competition fierce even as sales slowed down for the season. Prices are holding steady or climbing, with the median sale price in the metro area now at $360,000. Statewide, home prices are up almost 5% from last year, despite fewer homes selling. For anyone hoping to buy, tight inventory and high prices are still big hurdles. How are these trends affecting your plans or neighborhood?
