Data covers ZIP code 60618, which encompasses Avondale, Roscoe Village, and portions of Irving Park and Hermosa. All property types. Rolling 12-month figures through June 2026.
The housing market in Chicago's 60618 ZIP code — anchored by Avondale and Roscoe Village — has quietly put together one of the more consistent appreciation runs on Chicago's Northwest Side. The median sales price reached $660,000 in June 2026, up more than 11 percent from a year earlier and up 21 percent from January 2023. At the same time, inventory has tightened to 1.9 months of supply and the median home is under contract in just 9 days — both figures well ahead of the broader Chicago metro.
For buyers, that combination means competition and speed. For sellers, it means pricing leverage and a market that continues to reward well-positioned listings. Here's the full picture, backed by MRED data through June 2026.

What the price trend says
The 60618 market didn't spike and retract — it climbed steadily. After a flat-to-slightly-soft stretch through most of 2023 (median hovering around $540K), prices began a consistent upward move in early 2024 that hasn't reversed. The market crossed $600K in September 2025 and has continued to build from there.
The gap between 60618 and the broader metro has widened meaningfully over this period. The entire MLS median sits at $339,900 as of June 2026 — 60618 is running nearly double that, reflecting the neighborhood premium that buyers in Avondale and Roscoe Village continue to pay.
Months Supply: 1.9 Months — Deep Seller's Market

What the supply data says
A balanced market sits around 4–6 months of supply. At 1.9 months, 60618 is firmly in seller's market territory — and tightening. Supply was a stable 2.5 months throughout all of 2023 and into 2024, then gradually compressed to 2.0 in May 2026 and 1.9 in June.
The compression is gradual rather than dramatic, which tends to signal sustained demand rather than a speculative pop. Buyers consistently outnumber available homes, and that imbalance is what's driving the steady price appreciation visible in the chart above.

What market time tells us
The 60618 market peaked at 19 days in July 2023 — when rising rates slowed activity across every Chicago submarket. Since then, it has moved consistently in one direction: down. By June 2026, median market time had fallen to 9 days, a level that reflects genuine urgency among buyers.
At 9 days, the typical home in 60618 is under contract within two weekends of hitting the MLS. Buyers who aren't pre-approved and ready to move quickly are regularly losing out. The metro-wide figure of 17 days, by comparison, shows how much faster this submarket moves than Chicago overall.
Market Verdict: Avondale / Roscoe Village in 2026
The 60618 ZIP is one of the more consistent performers on Chicago's Northwest Side. It doesn't have the dramatic swings of some neighboring submarkets — it simply trends upward on price while inventory stays constrained. At 1.9 months of supply, 9-day market times, and prices up 11 percent year-over-year, this is a seller's market by every measure that matters.
For buyers, this means getting organized before you shop: financing lined up, expectations calibrated, and an agent who knows how to compete. For sellers, it means the market will reward good preparation — pricing strategy, condition, and marketing still matter even in a tight market.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is now a good time to sell in Avondale or Roscoe Village?
By the numbers, yes. Supply at 1.9 months means demand is outpacing available inventory, which puts pricing leverage firmly with sellers. Homes are going under contract in about 9 days on average. That said, price and condition still determine outcomes — overpriced listings sit even in tight markets. An accurate CMA from an agent who knows the submarket is the right starting point.

Will prices keep rising?

What the data shows is that 60618 has demonstrated a consistent demand floor throughout a period that included significant rate volatility. The structural factors driving demand here — neighborhood amenities, school quality, transit, and limited new construction — haven't changed.
