Market Conditions: Is Chicago the Hottest Market in America in 2026?

I’m having a hard time finding properties to crib about because the inventory remains at a record low and when something new does come on the market, it is often selling within days.

Crain’s Dennis Rodkin covered Chicago’s red hot market this week:

Within 48 hours of going up for sale last weekend, a two-bedroom condo on Cleveland Avenue in Lincoln Park received a dozen offers and went under contract.

“This market is wilder than ever,” said Shay Hata, the @properties Christie’s International Real Estate agent who represented the two-bedroom condo in the handsome 1920s building seen at the top of this story. The deal has not closed, and because the contract is contingent there’s a chance it won’t, but the flurry of offers suggests the condo will go for more than its $450,000 asking price.

This Lincoln Park condo was at the lower price point. But according to the article, homes listed over $1 million are also going under contract quickly in the city and suburbs.

“It’s kind of insane right now,” said Kim Brychel, an agent who’s also with @properties Christie’s. Her clients’ five-bedroom house on Leavitt Street in Lincoln Square hit the market at just under $1.7 million and was under contract six days later. The insanity, Brychel said, “is very stressful for buyers,” who have to jump like Jordan in order to score a purchase.

A coach house on Magnolia Avenue in Lincoln Park priced at a little under $1.2 million went under contract Feb. 15, two days after hitting the market.

The article also had one agent commenting that some buyers are bringing Mom and Dad with them to the showings and that they are getting help on the down payment from their parents.

Is Chicago the hottest housing market in America in 2026?

3-Bedroom Duplex Up in Lakeview with Terrace and 2-Car Parking for $869,000: 800 W. Cornelia

This 3-bedroom penthouse level duplex-up at 800 W. Cornelia in Lakeview came on the market in February 2026.

Built in 2002, 800 W. Cornelia is a boutique elevator building with 25 units and attached garage parking.

If it looks familiar that’s because we have chattered about this unit before, during the housing bust in 2009-2010.

It sold in 2010 for $41,000 above the 2004 price and most of you who chimed in thought it was worth the price.

For those who weren’t around in 2010, it was rare to see a property selling for more than the 2004-2007 price. But this one had updated finishes and 2-car garage parking.

See our 2010 chatter here.

The unit has now been “impeccably updated.”

There are hardwood floors through the main living area on the first floor.

In the kitchen, the old wood Shaker cabinets and granite counter tops are gone (see prior listing photos). The kitchen now has modern white custom cabinets on the uppers and royal blue custom cabinets on the lower with a white marble countertop and backsplash. It still has an island, now with royal blue cabinets on the base, and seating for two.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and is open concept to the living and dining room.

There’s a gas fireplace in the living room and room for a dining room table in the dining area. There’s also a balcony off the living room.

Two of the three bedrooms are on the main floor along with a full bathroom.

The second floor has a family room with a wet bar and a powder room so your guests don’t have to go into the primary bedroom’s bathroom.

The primary bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a double vanity and an oversized shower with bench and multi-shower head along with a walk-in-closet.

The unit has a large terrace accessed off the family room and primary bedroom. It has skyline views, ceramic tile decking, a built-in outdoor kitchen with a sink, planters with small trees, other vegetation, water, and electricity.

It has the features buyers look for including central air, washer/dryer in the unit (on the main floor), and 2-car garage parking is included.

The listing says the windows and sliding doors have been replaced.

The building is on North Halsted, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The Jewel grocery store is just two blocks away and there are buses and the Addison Red Line nearby. Wrigley Field is just a short stroll away.

Listed at $869,000 with 1805 square feet, will this get multiple offers?

Ed Jelinek at @properties Christie’s has the listing. See the pictures here.

This building is near the Randolph Street restaurant row, Fulton Market, Mary Bartelme Park with its farmers market, SoHo House, Whole Foods, Mariano’s and Skinner.

The unit also comes with a storage locker and has a private balcony.

It last sold during the pandemic, in 2021, when the market was hot. It went under contract in 3 days and sold for the full asking price.

Listed this time for $699,900, that’s $116,400 over the 2021 sales price of $583,500.
