Chicago Home Sales Drop for the 12th Month in a Row

Home sales in Chicago took another dive in June, marking the 12th month in a row for declines. While more than 2,700 Chicago homes sold this past June, that’s about 13.3-percent lower than a year ago.

Broadening it out to the nine-county metro area, around 12,000 homes sold in June. That’s down 11.6-percent when compared to June of last year.

These aren’t unique cases, either. Many property owners in Pilsen and other neighborhoods to the west also say they’ve been able to…
