West Chicago Township Residential Values Soaring 20%, Commercial Values Climb 32%

O'Connor concluded that residential values in West Chicago Township soared by 20%, while commercial values climbed by 32%.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Residential Assessment Surges

Property owners in Cook County are all too familiar with the ascent of their home values. In 2024, residential property in West Chicago Township has collectively jumped from just over $38 billion to $45.9 billion, an increase of 21%. The climb in assessments is the most pronounced for homes in the highest and lowest value ranges. Property under $250K saw an average increase of 32%. Homes over the $1.5 million price point saw an equal escalation of 32%. It is a poor consolation to residential owners of homes in the $500K to $750K range to know that their values averaged the least gain in assessment with only a 14% rise in assessed value.

Commercial Values Gain Even More Pronounced

In contrast to homes, commercial property increases appear to have hit the highest valued accounts the hardest. Commercial property worth over $1.5 million in West Chicago Township of Cook County, Illinois was on average assessed at 34% higher in 2024 than in 2023. Owners of commercial properties valued between $250K and $500K witnessed the smallest percent increase of 13%. On average, commercial values rose 32%.
