Chicago<\/a> home prices were up 12.7 percent in February compared to a year earlier, with the typical home selling for $225,000. Sales dropped for the first time in more than a year, falling 7.2 percent.<\/p>\n

\"Chicago<\/figure>\n

After a seven-month drought of inventory, the city finally saw an increase in the number of homes for sale. Inventory rose 7.8 percent year over year and new listings shot up 10.2 percent. The typical home sold in 39 days in February, five days faster than a year earlier, and more than one in five sellers got more than their asking price. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Home<\/figure>\n

So far, sellers are benefiting from high prices and low inventory. However, with more homes coming on the market in February, buyers are gaining a greater selection, a dynamic that might drive sales higher this spring. <\/span><\/p>\n

February saw a 5.4-month supply of houses for sale, a volume the city hasn\u2019t seen since 2012, but less than the six months that represents a market balanced between buyers and sellers. Even though more houses are going up for sale, they\u2019re finding buyers quickly and sellers still have the upper hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThree of the five condos I recently listed in the West Loop and South Loop resulted in bidding wars,\u201d said Redfin real estate agent Jacqueline Colando<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty representative of the area. Since those neighborhoods consist mostly of condos, many of my selling clients are moving to the suburbs to get more space for their dollar.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hot Neighborhoods<\/h3>\n

Ukrainian Village, named 2016\u2019s<\/span> Hottest Neighborhood<\/span><\/a>, had the highest median sale price in the city at $534,000. Wicker Park, directly to the north, was the second-most expensive neighborhood in the city, with a typical home selling for $517,500. North Center, Streeterville and Bucktown rounded out the top five.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tri-Taylor retained its long-standing dominance in price appreciation, posting a 92 percent increase year over year, due largely to<\/span> increased<\/span><\/a> development<\/span><\/a> in the area. A typical Tri-Taylor home sold for $338,500. Pullman (66%), Little Village (56%) and Edgewater (54%) all saw price gains of 50 percent or more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Homes sold fastest in the West Loop and Andersonville, finding buyers in only 14 days. On the other end of the spectrum, a typical home in Hyde Park sat on the market for 83 days, the longest in the city. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the condos in Hyde Park have very high association dues, sometimes as much as $1500 per month, since the buildings are nearly 100 years old and need constant upkeep,\u201d said Redfin agent Lamar Austin<\/a>. \u201cAnd the single-family homes in the neighborhood are mostly older mansions, still large, expensive to maintain and priced over a million dollars. In either situation, it takes a little longer to find a buyer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The slower market time didn\u2019t seem to hurt pricing, though. Hyde Park homes appreciated 10 percent from last year, with a typical home selling for $183,250. <\/span><\/p>\n
