Most consumers in the Chicago metro area show a preference for new single family homes. These homes are generally an individual housing unit set on its own piece of property and not connected to other homes. Consumers looking for single family homes for sale want their own yard and the privacy of having no shared walls with their neighbors. So, most production home builders focus on these types of homes for their many advantages to homeowners.

There are many advantages to buying a single family home in the Chicago area. At the top of the list is privacy. You will not have shared walls and most homes will have a private yard for the kids and pets to enjoy. Unlike a condo or townhome, with a new single family house you can generally pick your preferred elevation style and your yard decor. That said, some Home Owner Associations (HOAs) in the Chicago area can be restrictive or may require approvals if you want to modify your structure or even change your paint color. The other big advantage in a single family home is storage space. It is rare for a condo or townhome to have ample storage space as compared to a new single family home.

If you have a family, prefer to have more room to spread out, or just want a yard for your kids and pets, most of the single family homes in the Chicago area are designed with you in mind.

Single family homes for sale represents the bulk of new construction in the U.S. and is carefully tracked by the Census Bureau in the monthly Building Permits Survey, and from the Survey of Construction (SOC).
