Information and statistics on the latest trends in the DePaul real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, DePaul’s home values have surged, with the typical home value up 36.22 percent to about $1,335,000, far above Chicago’s $390,000 level. At the same time, inventory is down 40.91 percent from last year and pending sales have fallen 40.74 percent, pointing to a smaller but higher-priced pool of activity.
In the latest month of February 2026, the median list price sat around $1,195,000 while homes typically spent 43.5 days on the market, nearly 18 percent faster than a year ago. With inventory at just 13 homes but new listings down 61.54 percent annually, sellers hold an advantage in what is classified as a seller’s market with a market gauge of 8.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical home values are projected to rise further to about $1,452,500 even as projected median list price dips to roughly $730,025 and inventory edges up to 15. Nearly 45 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is 0.98, underscoring strong but selective demand. In this kind of evolving environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands DePaul’s pricing trends and tight inventory dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
DePaul offers residents a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with easy transit access, diverse dining and shopping, green spaces, and a close-knit community vibe that makes daily life convenient and engaging.
DePaul in Chicago centers around DePaul University and offers a walkable, transit friendly pocket of Chicago that appeals to students, professionals, and long term residents alike. CTA Brown, Purple, and Red Line stations at Fullerton and Diversey make commuting downtown straightforward, while bike friendly streets and frequent buses add options for getting around without a car.
Daily life feels easy here. Residents have quick access to big box convenience at Clybourn Corridor and local shopping and dining along Lincoln Park side streets. The DePaul campus itself offers cultural perks, including performances at the Holtschneider Performance Center and theater productions at the Merle Reskin Theatre. Green space is close by at Oz Park and the wider Lakefront Trail, ideal for running, biking, or a quick escape to the water.
Families often look to neighborhood schools such as Lincoln Park High School and Oscar Mayer Magnet School, while nearby Old Town and Bucktown extend dining and nightlife choices. Housing ranges from classic walk ups and converted greystones to newer condos, with parking, zoning, and campus proximity all affecting value.
Because the area blends student housing, historic homes, and busy commercial corridors, working with a local DePaul expert through Agent Pronto helps buyers and sellers navigate the details and reduce stress at every step.
