Despite a pretty solid economic outlook, Chicago is floundering when it comes to the real estate market.
That’s according to the 2018 “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” survey. The survey ranked Chicago 49th out of the 79 biggest real estate markets, a drop of seven places from 2017. Chicago lags far behind more popular “hot” markets such as Dallas, Denver, and Nashville.
Meh.
Property values in the Windy City either remained flat or decreased a bit and the city’s fiscal woes seem to be scaring investors away.
But not all the news is bleak.
Chicago scored quite well in comparison to other Midwestern cities in the survey. The area ranked fifth, with an average rating of 3.67, among 13 Midwest markets, behind Minneapolis/St. Paul, Indianapolis, Columbus and Kansas City, Mo.
