“After going through a very difficult experience before, meeting my realtor completely changed the way I felt about the home buying process. After the passing of my husband, I had to go through this process alone, and during such an emotional and overwhelming time, she brought me so much peace of mind and support. What truly makes her different is that she genuinely cares about her clients. She never made me feel like I was just another sale or transaction. She took the time to listen carefully to my needs, requirements, and concerns, and always made sure I felt heard and supported every step of the way. Her professionalism, patience, honesty, and dedication are something rare to find. She always had my best interest at heart and went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares, works with integrity, a”

In March 2026, the median list price reached roughly $649,450 as sellers tested higher price points amid firm demand.

Looking ahead to April 2026, projections call for a typical home value of about $620,000, a slight increase, with inventory expected to rise to around 75 listings and the median list price holding near $649,675.

“Becki from Laura Topp’s team was incredible in helping me purchase my first property, a brick 2-flat in Chicago’s highly competitive north and west side market. Inventory was extremely limited and we toured at least 20 properties throughout the process. Becki was consistently accommodating with her time, prepared detailed reports for every showing and approached each opportunity with a thoughtful strategy. She genuinely treated the search as if she were buying the property for herself. When we finally found the right building, Becki skillfully negotiated with the listing agent and played a major role in getting the deal done while still protecting my interests and keeping the transaction together. The listing agent even praised her professionalism and credited her with helping secure the deal. Throughout closing, she remained diligent, communicative and focused on making sure I understood every step of the process and felt protected as a buyer. I cannot recommend Becki and Laura Topp”
“Emir was a n excellent realtor and he was a professional. I will recommend Emir to family and friends in the future.”
“We worked with Kim Wirtz for the sale of our home at 732 Teal Drive, and she was outstanding throughout the entire process. She spent numerous days helping us navigate the sale, handled multiple offers professionally, and gave us excellent advice on how to approach the contracts and negotiations. When one deal fell through, she immediately had great strategies for relisting the property, managing contingencies, and getting the house sold quickly again. She truly went above and beyond what most realtors would do. Kim was extremely responsive, always available to answer questions, and did a fantastic job communicating with buyers, agents, and everyone involved in the transaction. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made a stressful process much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
“Shawn is a perfect example of everything a new homeowner could want in a realtor. He's patient, informative and passionate about helping you find the right home. Shawn goes the extra mile in preparing detailed documents on every listing you visit and has a vast knowledge of property pros and cons. You also know you'll get a honest and trustworthy professional at your side when you work with him. I can't recommend Shawn enough!”
“Would use Lizette again, very easy to work with & very professional. Would recommend here 100% to Friends.”

Thanks to her expertise, our home sold smoothly and with great results. We highly recommend Meldina to anyone looking to sell their home.””
