What makes Lansing different
Home Value, By Source
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2023 5-year estimate) puts Lansing's median home value — across all owner-occupied homes, not just recent sales — at $168,500. Separately, Cook County's current median listing price (via Realtor.com data, 2026-06-01) runs $352,450. These cover different geography (city vs. county) and different measures (assessed value vs. active listings), which is why we show both rather than picking one — full source list on our data sources page.

Cook County's FHFA house price index shows a 5.52% annual change in 2025.
