Lincoln Square house median price over one million dollars (Chicago)

The median price of a single family home in Lincoln Square Community Area is about $1,050,000 this year. When we moved to Lincoln Square permanently in 2007 the median price of a sold home was $615,000.  I've watched many changes in Lincoln Square to the streets, business, schools, politics... and the real estate!

Lincoln Square area map via Chicago Cityscape The area sprawls West Montrose to West Peterson and North Ravenswood all the way west to the North Branch Chicago River. 

95 single family homes  have sold from January 1st to November 15th, 2024. The median price is about $1,050,000.  Seven single family homes have closed over $2M and one house closed for $3.8M.

Over the same period last year (2023) only 75 homes closed with a median price of about $1,020,000.  

Homes in the furthest northwest portion of Lincoln Square sell for considerably less than those in the southeast portion. Proximity to the CTA Brown Line, Metra and retail/ shopping has much to do with the value discrepancy. For instance, homes NORTH of West Foster Avenue and WEST of North Western Avenue have a median closed price of about $561,000. While homes SOUTH of West Foster Avenue and EAST of North Western Avenue have a median sales price of $1.2M.

Recent Albany Park single family home sales

This strip of Kedzie has slowly churned out retail and residential developments despite it's fantastic proximity to transportation. Homes just east of North Kedzie have higher value than homes west of Kedzie in the Greater Albany Park Community Area. All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

A client will need to sell her parents long time single family home in Albany Park Community Area. We looked at the immediate comparable sales for the house based on location, condition, current market trends and client goals. I also checked out recent sales in greater Albany Park.

95 single family homes have sold in Albany Park from January 1st to October 31st, 2024.  The median price this year is $520,000. Over the same period of 2023, 96 single family homes sold with a median price of $518K. Two year sales are as even as you can get in any Chicago community area.

In 2022, 115 single family homes sold with a median price of $550,000. The high amount of closings and high median price are a reflection of the low mortgage interest rates of 2021 and 2022. The low rates were a supercharger especially for relatively affordable neighborhoods further out from the Chicago lakefront.

In 2021, 133 homes sold with a median price of $495,000

Values can swing from eastern Albany Park's Ravenswood Manor neighborhood along the river to the western edge near North Pulaski Road

Over the past twelve months 18 homes sold in the smaller area of Albany Park east of Kedzie. The median price of a closed house is $800,000.  90 single family homes closed west of Kedzie with a median price of $465,000.
