MAY 2010 Average Home Prices in Chicago's Western Suburbs are still dropping. The average home prices vary from the low $200K's to $250K where last year these homes were priced in the $250K-$300K+ range. Many of these homes are in great shape (3) bedroom 1.1 bath ranch, bi-level and 2 story homes that are move-in ready (NOT foreclosure or short sale).
I also found a great link at the Chicago Tribune website that shows an interactive map of Chicago and Suburbs home prices. This Median Home Price Map shows average prices of homes in these western suburbs (and seems relatively accurate based on my area knowledge) except that I would argue the percentage +/- of price change from 2009 to 2010.
My personal picks this month for some great suburbs with affordable homes and great schools would be: Westchester, Brookfield, Lisle, Darien, Woodridge and North East Bolingbrook (bordering Woodridge) Illinois.
Great deals and move in ready homes near shopping, highway I-355 and Route 83.
