June 2026 Chicago City Neighborhoods Housing Market Update | Average Home Prices
Chicago’s city neighborhood housing market showed a range of pricing conditions in June 2026, from stable attached-home values on the Near West Side to significant detached-home appreciation on the Lower West Side. According to InfoSparks data as of June 2026, the four markets tracked in this report recorded average sale prices between $410,000 and $573,500.
The differences are notable. The Near West Side held flat year-over-year, while the Loop and Near North Side saw more moderate gains across all property types. Meanwhile, the Lower West Side posted a substantial increase in detached single-family home prices. The takeaway is clear: Chicago remains highly neighborhood- and property-type-specific, making local data essential for both buyers and sellers.
Market Highlights Across Chicago City Neighborhoods – June 2026
Near West Side – Average attached single-family sale price: $415,000, 0.0% year-over-year
The Near West Side held steady compared with June 2025, with attached single-family homes averaging $415,000. A flat year-over-year result suggests a more balanced market, where building location, monthly costs, condition, layout, and recent comparable sales can have a major influence on individual property performance. For buyers, the stability may create a more measured environment for comparing available homes.
Lower West Side – Average detached single-family sale price: $573,500, +30.3% year-over-year
The Lower West Side recorded the strongest price movement in this report, with detached single-family home prices rising 30.3% year-over-year. That substantial gain points to a notably stronger value environment than last June. While each property will perform differently based on its location, condition, size, and updates, the broader data shows significant momentum for detached homes in the neighborhood.
Loop – Average sale price across all property types: $410,000, +2.5% year-over-year
The Loop saw modest upward movement in June, with average sale prices across all property types reaching $410,000. The 2.5% increase reflects a downtown market that is stable and gradually appreciating rather than moving at an aggressive pace. Buyers continue to weigh factors such as building amenities, monthly assessments, transit access, views, and proximity to major employers when evaluating Loop properties.
Near North Side – Average sale price across all property types: $455,000, +4.6% year-over-year
The Near North Side continued to show healthy appreciation, with average prices rising 4.6% year-over-year to $455,000. The area’s broad selection of condos, high-rise residences, and other urban homes means values can differ significantly from one building to another. Still, the June data supports the continued appeal of this central Chicago market for buyers prioritizing walkability, lifestyle amenities, and proximity to downtown.
Bridgeport – Average detached single-family sale price: $589,000, +13.1% year-over-year
Bridgeport posted a strong 13.1% year-over-year increase, with detached single-family home prices reaching $589,000. The result places Bridgeport among the stronger-performing city markets in this report and reflects a higher value environment than June 2025. Buyers continue to look closely at the neighborhood for its residential character, access to downtown, and mix of established homes and newer opportunities.
