I've watched the Chicagoland market evolve over the years, and the latest numbers confirm what many of us are experiencing: Chicago's median home price has jumped 13.3% to $425,000, largely because our housing supply simply can't keep up with demand. As someone who values quality construction and understands the nuances of our Western Suburbs, it's clear that new builds would need to triple just to meet current needs—a challenge slowed by outdated codes, permitting hurdles, and infrastructure bottlenecks. These issues not only impact affordability but also the availability of homes that suit growing families. Ongoing reforms are aiming to boost more accessible, middle-income housing options. My background in banking and commercial real estate gives me a unique perspective on how these trends shape opportunities for buyers and sellers alike, and I remain committed to helping families navigate these complexities with honesty and integrity.
