There were notable home sales gains across the 120-community area, where the numbers of homes sold leaped by double- and triple-digit percentages.

Standouts in the south suburbs for number of homes sold were Chicago Heights (92 percent increase from a year ago); Country Club Hills (64 percent); Evergreen Park (73 percent); Lemont (100 percent); and Oak Forest (64 percent).

In DuPage County, home sale activity was highest in Addison (225 percent increase from a year ago); Downers Grove (36 percent); Glendale Heights (170 percent); Lombard (100 percent); and Villa Park (57 percent).
