Ok, so I have written about the great news Nationally in the housing market – from the REAL Trend report, through to the National Association of Realtors.

Now it is OUR turn! The Illinois Association Realtor’s has released statewide figures which I must say are most encouraging! Particularly for the Chicagoland area!

So do you want the great news? Well, here it is – Illinois Home Sales Increase 14% in January from a Year Ago, the Statewide Median Price is up 0.2% to $145,300 AND here in the Chicagoland Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area year-over-year home sales are up for the 7th month in a row and up a whopping 29.2% – this really is excellent news. From 3035 homes sold in January 2009 to 3,922 homes sold in January 2010. The median home price for the Chicagoland PMSA is also higher than the state average at $175,000.

With home loans at around the 5% mark with no where really to go but up, it is almost certain that future growth is almost for sure – But! Naturally there are no guarantees. Of course the looming tax credit deadline is something on many buyers minds.
