Real recorded sales, straight from Cook County

Not an estimate, not an MLS feed - actual recorded sale prices from the county's own public records. A recorded county transfer confirms a sale occurred and its price; it is not the same as an active MLS listing, and the recording date typically lags the actual closing by several weeks to a few months.
