When the pandemic first hit Chicago market times rose but now they are actually quite a bit lower than last year . Detached homes are at a record low .
Chicago Home Sale Market Times

That ' s down from 70 days last year and keep in mind that half the homes sold in 12 days or less ! Meanwhile attached homes , despite their growth spurt , are selling on average in 66 days , which is only down slightly from last year ' s 68 days .
