Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Cook County real estate market, updated for February 2026. *
The typical home value in Cook County is projected to be $329,000 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $335,000—down 1.18% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $290,600 in Illinois for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $286,400 in February.
Cook County had 4,178 new listings and 3,974 listings that went under contract in January, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 10,579—up 1.61% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in February.
Of those 10,579 active listings, 15.17% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Cook County grew 9.26% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $355,000. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 70 days, compared to 68 days in January 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
