From in the Trenches...Update on the Clarendon Hills Housing Market

To the point, factual and statistical information about the current housing market in Clarendon Hills. Side by side comparison within three feeder elementary school districts.

Updated on the Clarendon Hills Real Estate Market

We are in very uncertain times, for sure, but the Clarendon Hills housing market is certainly bucking the current trend around the country of foreclosures and high inventory. If a buyer is looking to purchase a home in Clarendon Hills, there are only 72 homes for sale in inventory. If a buyer is looking in Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Consolidated School District 181 area, they will find only 51 homes for sale (that are not under contract with a buyer). This low inventory is not good for buyers who are considering purchasing only in Clarendon Hills. Buyers are feeling the pinch and many are considering renting, causing the local rental market in Clarendon Hills and Hinsdale to be scorching hot.

Here is some data to consider:
