Quadrant map: Buy Score increases from bottom to top and Sell Score increases from left to right. Both axes split at 50. The upper-left quadrant is Buyer-leaning; upper-right is Broadly healthy; lower-left is Stressed for both sides; lower-right is Seller-leaning. Current Buy Score 40.8 and Sell Score 42.4.
Current position: Stressed for both sides — Neither statewide perspective meets this model's workable-conditions threshold.

The score combines buyer conditions (20 points), seller conditions (20), two-sided balance (10, reduced when both sides face weak conditions), credit health (12), jobs and income (12), price stability (10), construction pipeline (8), and population (8). Components are percentile-ranked against available history since 2000; missing components are excluded and remaining points rescaled. Abnormal signals can adjust the score by −15 to +5 points. The bands are Strong (70+), Solid (55–69), Mixed (40–54), Weak (25–39), and Distressed (below 25). Extreme delinquency or unemployment alerts cap the verdict at Mixed. This is a statewide editorial indicator, not advice or a forecast.

Scores of 65 or higher fall in “Good Time to Sell”; 40–64 in “Neutral – Sell When Ready”; below 40 in “Unfavorable Time to Sell.” Extreme adverse inventory, delinquency or unemployment alerts can limit the verdict to Neutral. The Sell Score weighs price momentum, buyer demand, listing competition, mortgage rates and the buyer pool, buyer affordability, price level and equity, distressed-sale competition, buyer credit access, jobs and income, and population. Statewide editorial categories, not a recommendation for an individual household.
Each indicator’s latest 12-month change is compared with its own trailing 10-year history using a robust z-score (median and MAD). An absolute z-score of at least 2 is abnormal; at least 3 is extreme. The overall score adjustment is bounded from −15 to +5 points.
Extreme: Illinois net migration down 53306 persons from the previous year — 3.1σ below normal.
Monthly scores since Jan 2012 (recalculated with currently available data). Market Score highest: 80.4 (Feb 2015); lowest: 28.1 (May 2022); months with abnormal-signal alerts: 84.
This history is a retrospective recalculation using data as currently published, including later revisions. It is not a record of scores available to readers at each historical date.

Stored releases · Illinois
Home-price lines show change from each series’ first release in the range.
These Bollinger-style bands place a trailing moving average between an upper and lower boundary. Each boundary is the average plus or minus a multiple of recent standard deviation: six releases for monthly prices, or two for quarterly prices. The multiplier is 2 × (1 + 0.25 × the absolute 12-month change in the 30-year mortgage rate, in percentage points). The calculation uses earlier releases even when they fall outside the visible range.
The bands help put unusually strong or weak price movement in the context of recent volatility. A price near the upper boundary is unusually strong relative to its recent trend; near the lower boundary, unusually weak. The band widens when mortgage rates have moved sharply, reflecting the added uncertainty that can accompany rate shocks—not a proven causal measure for any individual sale. The optional trend line is a straight-line fit across visible releases only.
This is an Illinois RDN analytical overlay, not a forecast, appraisal, or investment advice. Different source methods and release dates can produce different-looking lines.
Zillow ZHVI estimates a typical home value. Its monthly series is smoothed and seasonally adjusted; it is not the median price of homes sold in a month.
Redfin Data Center reports the monthly median sale price of actual transactions. This series is not seasonally adjusted, so seasonal patterns and the mix of homes sold can move the median.
FHFA HPI® is a quarterly purchase-only, repeat-sales index based on eligible mortgage transactions. It measures an index, not the price of a representative individual home.
A reported period is not the date you view this page. Zillow and Redfin publish monthly data, FHFA publishes quarterly data, and Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® publishes a weekly 30-year fixed mortgage-rate series. Collection, processing, and publication take time. The source inventory below identifies the latest stored period for each measure.

Over the latest year, Illinois home prices changed +5.3% while remodeling costs changed +7.8% (spread −2.5 pp). The spread compares those changes for the Remodel Value sub-index; it is not a project return or a forecast.
QCEW figures are average weekly wages for all workers in each industry, not hourly contractor rates or bid prices. PPI measures national producer prices, not Illinois retail prices.
Mortgage rates, home-purchase application decisions, and household income describe different parts of the financing picture.
The latest stored 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 7.3% (October 1, 2026). Illinois’ latest recorded home-purchase approval rate is 88.3% (2025), and median household income is $93,270 (2025).

CFPB serious delinquency measures mortgages 90 or more days past due, excluding loans in foreclosure. It can signal distress but is not a foreclosure count; CFPB releases lag by approximately two to three quarters.

Each score has 100 possible base points. Available inputs are ranked against their own historical observations since 2000, where those observations exist. Missing inputs are excluded and the remaining points rescaled proportionally.
Abnormal signals compare the latest 12-month change with a trailing ten-year history using a robust z-score based on the median and median absolute deviation (MAD). An absolute z-score of at least 2 is abnormal; at least 3 is extreme. Adjustments are perspective-specific and range from −15 to +5 points, weighting adverse risks more heavily. A surge in listings is adverse for sellers but not necessarily for buyers; overheated or sharply slowing price growth is adverse for overall market strength.
Market Score bands are Strong (70+), Solid (55–69), Mixed (40–54), Weak (25–39), and Distressed (below 25). Buy Scores of 65 or higher fall in “Good Time to Buy”; 40–64 in “Remodel & Stay,” or “Neutral – Consider Remodeling” when the Remodel Value sub-index is below 40; and below 40 in “Unfavorable Time to Buy.” Sell Scores of 65 or higher fall in “Good Time to Sell”; 40–64 in “Neutral – Sell When Ready”; and below 40 in “Unfavorable Time to Sell.” Extreme adverse signals can limit a verdict. The Remodel Value sub-index compares home-price growth with labor and material cost growth; it does not estimate a project’s return.
Monthly score history back to 2012 is recalculated using data as currently published, including later revisions. It is not a record of what readers could have known in each historical month. Underlying releases arrive weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. HMDA and ACS figures can run roughly one to two years behind; CFPB delinquency releases can lag approximately two to three quarters. Consult the source inventory for each series’ latest stored period.
It is Illinois RDN’s independent, statewide indicator of overall market strength, combining Buy and Sell conditions with broader credit, economic, price, construction, and population fundamentals. When both sides face weak conditions, the overall score is lower. It is not advice, an appraisal, or a forecast.
Many conditions push in opposite directions: rising prices and tight inventory can help sellers while making buying harder. Mortgage rates and jobs affect both perspectives. Each score describes statewide conditions, not a recommendation for an individual property or household.
Stored data are checked daily, but each publisher updates on its own weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual schedule. A daily check does not mean every underlying observation changed that day.
They measure different things. Zillow ZHVI estimates a smoothed, seasonally adjusted typical value; Redfin reports the median price of homes actually sold without seasonal adjustment; and the FHFA purchase-only index tracks repeat sales financed with eligible mortgages. Their populations, methods, and release schedules differ.
Publication schedules and collection methods vary. HMDA mortgage and Census ACS releases can run roughly one to two years behind, while CFPB delinquency releases can lag approximately two to three quarters. The source inventory identifies each latest stored period.
City covers Census places legally designated cities with at least 50,000 residents. Suburban covers other incorporated places in USDA metro counties, and Rural uses counties classified as non-metro under the referenced USDA codes. The displayed figures are Illinois RDN owner-occupied-unit-weighted estimates of ACS area medians, not official Census area-type figures.
No. There is no reliable, regularly updated removals series by Illinois residence. The score instead uses Census net migration and population-change estimates, which do not separately identify removals or deportations.
No. Statewide indicators cannot account for a particular property, household, financing offer, or local market. Consult qualified appraisal, lending, tax, or financial professionals as appropriate before making a property or loan decision.
