McHenry County: Home sales month over month increased by about 7%. This was a 38% increase compared to December of 2019.

Lake County: Home sales declined by about 11% from November. But, they increased by approximately 30% in December of this year compared to December of last year.

Cook County: Home sales increased by about 8% from November. December also saw a 29% increase in homes sold compared to December of 2019.

This data shows you exactly why the idea that "homes don't sell in the winter" is a myth! We continued to see the trend of low inventory, but still saw an increase in home sales over last year. If buying or selling a home is one of your goals in 2021, let's start the conversation now to set yourself up for success.
