We built LOKAL to pull each Illinois metro's numbers straight from the Redfin Data Center, so an agent and a client read from the same source. Across the 1 Illinois metro we track, median sale prices stand at $425K for May 2026. In Chicago, the $425K median compares with roughly $400K a year earlier, in 2025. Redfin has published this market data monthly since 2020, which is what lets us show month-over-month and year-over-year change here in 2026. We refresh every metro monthly. For complementary demographics on each Illinois area — population, median household income, owner-occupancy — see the U.S. Census Bureau. LOKAL is independent and not affiliated with Redfin; always verify against your MLS before you publish.
