Across six of Chicago's most active North and Northwest Side neighborhoods, the 2026 housing market is telling a consistent story: inventory is tight, prices are up, and well-priced homes are moving in days — not weeks. From Bucktown's milestone crossing of the $1 million median to Andersonville's near-zero supply, the data points in the same direction across every submarket we track.
Below is a summary of the key takeaways from each of our 2026 neighborhood market reports, with links to the full data analysis for each area. Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping tabs on what the market is doing, here's the picture as of mid-2026.
Neighborhood | Median Price | Months Supply | Market Time |
|---|---|---|---|
$565,000 | 0.4 months | 7 days | |
$1,032,500 | 1.1 months | 9 days | |
$794,000 | 1.2 months | 7 days | |
$675,750 | 2.2 months | 10 days | |
$672,500 | 0.5 months | 9 days | |
$660,000 | 1.9 months | 9 days |
Andersonville: Record-Low Supply and 7-Day Sales →
$565,000 Median · 0.4 Months Supply · 7-Day Market Time
Andersonville has the tightest inventory of any neighborhood in this report. At just 0.4 months of supply — down from 1.0 months in January 2023 — there is functionally almost nothing on the market at any given time. The median market time of 7 days means that when a well-priced home does appear, it's gone almost immediately. Prices have been volatile given the thin transaction volume, but the rolling 12-month median of $565,000 reflects a neighborhood where demand consistently exceeds supply. Sellers here have about as much leverage as anywhere in Chicago right now.
Bucktown: Median Price Crosses $1 Million →
$1,032,500 Median · 1.1 Months Supply · 9-Day Market Time
Bucktown crossed $1 million in rolling median sales price in May 2026 — a benchmark that reflects both a shift in the buyer profile and a fundamental revaluation of the neighborhood's housing stock. Supply at 1.1 months is among the lowest in this group, and homes are going under contract in 9 days on average, down from 37 days at the market's slowest point in December 2023. The trajectory here has been steep and consistent: the median has roughly tripled from the entry-level range that once defined parts of the neighborhood.
Lincoln Park (60614): Median Price Hits $794,000 →
$794,000 Median · 1.2 Months Supply · 7-Day Market Time
The Lincoln Park data covers ZIP code 60614 across all property types — condos, townhomes, and single-family homes — and the median of $794,000 reflects one of Chicago's most established and persistently competitive submarkets. Supply has been cut nearly in half since early 2023 (from 2.2 months to 1.2), and market time has dropped from 18 days to 7 days over the same period. At 7 days, Lincoln Park matches Andersonville for the fastest-moving market in this roundup. Note: data is specific to ZIP 60614 and does not capture all properties commonly marketed as Lincoln Park.
Logan Square: Prices Push $680K as Market Time Collapses →
$675,750 Median · 2.2 Months Supply · 10-Day Market Time
Logan Square has the most dramatic market time story in this group. The rolling 12-month median market time peaked at 52 days in May 2025 — reflecting a period of unusually slow absorption — and has since collapsed to just 10 days as of May 2026. That kind of reversal in under a year is notable. Prices have followed, climbing from $522,000 a year ago to $675,750 today. At 2.2 months of supply, Logan Square has more inventory relative to demand than some of its neighbors, but the trajectory is tightening.
Wicker Park: Near-Zero Inventory and Prices Surging →
$672,500 Median · 0.5 Months Supply · 9-Day Market Time
Wicker Park ties with Andersonville for the most constrained supply in this group — 0.5 months, which is effectively no inventory cushion at all. After a softer stretch in 2024 and early 2025 when prices pulled back from a peak above $645K, the market has snapped back sharply: the May 2026 median of $672,500 represents the highest point in the data set. At 9 days on market, buyers have almost no time to deliberate. This is a neighborhood where preparation before you search is not optional.
Avondale / Roscoe Village: Steady Climb to $660,000 →
$660,000 Median · 1.9 Months Supply · 9-Day Market Time
The 60618 ZIP code — covering Avondale, Roscoe Village, and adjacent areas — stands out in this group for the consistency of its appreciation. Where other neighborhoods in the dataset saw price volatility tied to thin transaction volume, 60618 has climbed steadily from a $544,000 median in January 2023 to $660,000 in June 2026, a gain of more than 21 percent. Supply has tightened from 2.5 months to 1.9 months over the same period, and market time has dropped from 19 days at peak to 9 days. It's one of the quieter stories on Chicago's Northwest Side — and one of the more durable ones. Note: data is specific to ZIP 60618, all property types.
The Cross-Neighborhood Story
Look across all six markets and three things stand out. First, supply is structurally constrained everywhere — ranging from near-zero (Andersonville, Wicker Park) to moderately tight (Logan Square). Second, prices are up year-over-year in every neighborhood, with no sign of softening in the data through mid-2026. Third, market times have compressed — in some cases dramatically — meaning the window between a home going live and going under contract has shrunk to days in most of these submarkets.
For buyers, that means doing the preparation work — financing, search criteria, agent relationship — before you need it, not after you've found the property you want. For sellers, it means the market is working in your favor, but pricing precision still determines whether a listing capitalizes on that or leaves money behind.
