Home sales down, median prices up locally
The Illinois Association of Realtors reports just over 4,300 home sales last month in the nine-county Chicago region.
That's a 27 percent drop from last year at the same time.
But sellers were getting a little more for homes.
The median price rose to $240,000.
Sales of condos were also down, but the median price jumped 10 percent to $315,000.
