Across all property types, the rolling 12-month median sales price reached $794,000 in June 2026, up from $615,000 in January 2023, a gain of nearly 29%.

Median Sales Price — Rolling 12 Months (All Property Types, ZIP 60614)
The Chicagoland MLS-wide median across all property types rose from $275,000 in January 2023 to $339,900 in June 2026, a gain of roughly 24%.

The consistency of this upward trend, with no meaningful reversals across 42 months of data, reflects deep and sustained demand for housing across all product types in one of Chicago's most established lakeside neighborhoods.
What Is Months Supply of Homes for Sale?
Months supply measures how long it would take to sell all homes currently on the market at the current pace of sales, assuming no new listings came on. It is calculated by dividing active inventory by the average monthly sales rate, and it is the primary gauge of whether a market favors buyers or sellers.
A balanced market is generally considered to be 4 to 6 months of supply. Below 4 months favors sellers. Above 6 months favors buyers. Lincoln Park (60614) at 1.2 months is running at roughly one-fifth of a balanced market level, meaning buyers across all property types are competing for a limited pool of available homes at any given time.
Months Supply of Homes for Sale: A Long, Steady Decline
Lincoln Park's months supply chart tells a different story than the sudden inventory collapses seen in Wicker Park or Andersonville. Here, the tightening has been gradual but unrelenting. Supply loosened slightly through early 2024, reaching a peak of 2.6 months in April 2024, the most available inventory in this dataset. From that point, it declined without interruption: 2.4 months by July 2024, 2.0 by December 2024, 1.6 by July 2025, and 1.2 months from April 2026 onward. Every month since April 2024 has shown lower supply than the month before. That kind of sustained, directional tightening over more than two years is a meaningful structural shift.

June 2026 brings a new low of 7 days, against the MLS average of 17.
Median Market Time (Days) — Rolling 12 Months (All Property Types, ZIP 60614)

That sustained compression across all property types reflects a market where demand has consistently outpaced available inventory, creating competitive conditions for condos, townhomes, and single-family homes alike.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
If you are selling in Lincoln Park (60614), the data is as favorable as it has been in years. With 1.2 months of supply and a 7-day median market time across all property types, well-priced homes are generating immediate competition. The consistent upward price trend, from $615,000 to $794,000 over three and a half years without a single meaningful reversal, means the rolling median is a reliable floor rather than a ceiling for properly positioned homes. Precision in pricing still matters: buyers in Lincoln Park are sophisticated and follow comps closely, and an overpriced listing will still sit even in this environment.
If you are buying in Lincoln Park, the 7-day market time is the most important number to understand. Homes that come to market on a Thursday are frequently under contract by the following weekend, across condos, townhomes, and single-family alike. Pre-approval must be complete before you begin touring. Clarity on your price ceiling, your priorities by product type and block, and an agent who can move quickly on offer strategy will determine whether you land the home you want or watch it go to someone else.
On the data scope: this report covers ZIP code 60614 specifically and includes all property types. Buyers and sellers should be aware that homes marketed as Lincoln Park may be listed across adjacent ZIP codes (60610, 60657), which carry their own market dynamics.
