The Bush real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the The Bush real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, typical home values in The Bush are up 14.72 percent to about $247,500, showing stronger appreciation than the broader Chicago market at $390,000 with flat annual change. Pending sales have climbed 25 percent from last year, while both inventory and new listings are unchanged, signaling that demand is outpacing the flow of new homes for sale.
In the latest month of February 2026, homes in The Bush had a median list price of roughly $195,000 with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.96, indicating buyers are often negotiating under asking. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to 130 days, up 81.82 percent month over month and 9.24 percent compared with last year.
Looking to March 2026, projections show the typical home value holding around $247,500 while the median list price edges up to about $205,000 and inventory stays near 7 active listings. With a seller’s market reading of 14 and no recent sales closing above list price, sellers still have a directional advantage but must price strategically as buyers watch value closely. Buyers can use the longer days on market to negotiate, and sellers can lean on rising values, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find a skilled local agent to navigate these conditions.

Learn more about what The Bush has to offer.
The Bush offers residents a tight-knit community with convenient transit, affordable housing, and accessible parks and local amenities that together support a vibrant, everyday neighborhood life.
The Bush in Chicago sits along the far Southeast Side, offering a practical residential pocket close to heavy industry, Lake Michigan, and major employers. With Metra Electric stops in nearby South Chicago and quick access to the Chicago Skyway, commuters can reach downtown or Northwest Indiana with relative ease.
Daily life here centers on straightforward convenience. Residents rely on nearby Commercial Avenue for services, while larger shopping options in East Side and Pullman expand grocery and retail choices. Outdoor time is close at hand, with Steelworkers Park offering lakefront views, rock climbing, and biking connections north toward South Shore. Families appreciate nearby schools such as James H. Bowen High School and local branch libraries that anchor community programs.
The Bush also benefits from proximity to Big Marsh Park, a major urban nature and bike park, and cultural draws like Pullman National Historical Park, which are close enough for weekend outings without sacrificing the quiet, residential feel at home.
Because the area includes a mix of older housing stock, industrial corridors, and evolving city investments, having an agent who knows The Bush and the broader Southeast Side can greatly simplify decisions. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with local experts who understand zoning, transit, and neighborhood nuances, helping make each move more confident and less stressful.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Immediately upon meeting Tracy Anderson, I knew that she was the perfect realtor for us. Her local area sales experience, personal involvement and life history within the neighboring suburbs, the positive attitude she projects, and her light-hearted personality were unquestionably ideal for meeting our home selling goals. Tracy managed our sales process expertly and with ease, reflecting a humble confidence and control that created trust and excitement for us. We immediately realized her sales strategy would propel us smoothly to a gratifying sales experience. Prior to live posting on the MLS, we received multiple full price offers from the first day private showings. Tracy's clear communication and skilled negotiating with all involved parties, even prompted an above price offer. We could not be more elated with our time spent with Tracy and her very personal approach. Of course, I sincerely recommend her as a highly exceptional real estate agent.”

“Dan was very professional throughout the entire process. He was knowledgeable about the neighborhood and broader trends and we were able to respond quickly to market conditions. Dan is very fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is also candid about the condition of the property but strives to get the most value possible for the seller out of the sale. He hired a professional photographer which helped with marketing the property and bringing out its best features. We would recommend Dan to our family and friends.”

“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
Village Realty, Inc
“She was very helpful especially to a first time home buyer. Whatever questions I had about the property she would answer it or get the answer from the listing agent. Was always on time for showings. Would definitely recommend her especially for first time buyers”
