The Chicagoland new construction market is putting up some of the most impressive numbers in the nation this year, according to research from Dodge Data & Analytics.

In October, Chicagoland saw more than $361 million in total residential construction spending, which is actually a 52 percent decline from Oct. 2015. However, year-to-date construction spending is a much better indicator of the market’s overall health, and at $6.329 billion, Chicagoland’s market is up 51 percent over the same time period last year – far and away the best YTD growth of any large metro area.
