\"Chicago<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

Chicago<\/a> home prices rose 6.1 percent in May, inventory was at its highest level in more than two years and sales rose nearly 11 percent from the same time last year.
\nAfter a run of double-digit price growth, appreciation slowed as more homeowners put their houses, condominiums and co-ops on the market. The stock of homes for sale grew more than 18 percent from a year ago, the biggest bump in at least three years.
\nThat gives buyers more leverage, but prices continue to rise and desirable homes are moving quickly, with half selling in 17 days or less, the fastest sales pace in almost two years. The median sale price was $285,000, up slightly from April. Properties fetched more than 97 percent of asking price, the highest sale-to-list ratio in nearly two years.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s still a seller\u2019s market in Chicago,\u201d Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson said. \u201cFor the last three months the city has had just four months of supply. Though price growth is slowing, the typical home is selling three days faster<\/a> than it did a year ago due to still-strong demand.\u201d

Biggest Gains<\/h2>\n

The median sale price was up almost 61 percent in Hyde Park from last year, 44.4 percent in Tri-Taylor and nearly 42 percent in Rogers Park. In South Lawndale\/Little Village, one of the city\u2019s most affordable neighborhoods, many homes sold for more than their asking price amid short supply. The median price there was less than $70,000.
\nAnother affordable community, Ukrainian Village<\/a>, was still one of the city\u2019s hottest markets, with half of homes selling in nine days or less. North Center, too, is strong. Despite a nearly 50 percent increase in new listings, the median home sold in 18 days. In the West Loop, inventory is down and more properties are selling above asking price.
\n“The West Loop<\/a> is selling like crazy, with most properties getting multiple offers in a matter of days,” Redfin agent Ali Donoghue said. “The easy access to transportation combined with great retail, restaurants, a top-rated public elementary school and an emerging technology district have made it a coveted destination.”
\nBuyers still have negotiating power in some neighborhoods, including McKinley Park, Beverly and Pullman, where prices fell. Englewood<\/a>, a community where all-cash buyers are the norm, had the biggest price drop, down 20.2 percent.
