It’s the last Tuesday of the month, a/k/a Case-Shiller Tuesday, and the results are in for June home price trends.
The seasonally-adjusted index for metro-area Chicago single-family homes gained 1.73% from the previous month and dropped year-over-year by 1.84%. This places the current index at price levels prevailing in June of 2001.
The seasonally-adjusted condo index also gained month-over-month, by 1.33% and fell year-over-year, by 5.31%. That index is now just below May of 2000 levels.
