The Cook County Real Estate Market

Cook County’s 2026 housing market is balanced — median sale price around $353,000, up roughly 4% year-over-year, with homes selling in 69 days on average. But “average” hides huge variation — North Shore properties move fast at premium prices, while south-Cook markets often have longer market times and more distressed inventory.
