We just added the 37,499 property sales in Cook County to our database. Our database of property sales stretches from 2016 to the 2021 Q1. (We update our database about two weeks after the end of each quarter.)
The chart above shows the pattern of property transfers in Chicago from 2019 to the most recently ended quarter (2021 Q1). The COVID-19 "shelter in place" order started March 21, 2020, so a full year has completed since that time. The blue column represents all transfers, and the green column represents transfers with a "full consideration" price of $100 or more.
This data is populated/displays on Chicago Cityscape in the following ways:
- Address Snapshot - We'll flag the address you're looking up if there was a recent sale, and show nearby sales. This is useful for doing a comps analysis and includes all properties subject to real estate transfer tax reporting*.
- Place Snapshot - Show a map and spreadsheet of all* of the property sales in one of our 38,000 predefined maps, or draw one yourself.
- Lending & Investment Snapshot - This augments the data in the other two snapshots by summarizing the property sales in a given place, and comparing it to Chicago and Cook County as wholes. (For example, check out the property sales data in the Humboldt Park INVEST South/West area, which is unlocked for everyone to peruse.)
* Some property transactions are not subject to the real estate transfer tax but are subject to reporting. View all transfers in Cook County in our database.
