How Illinois compares
At $350,000, the median Illinois listing is 5% below the national median of $370,000, making Illinois the 24th least expensive of the 50 states in the game. Per square foot, Illinois homes list for about $216 versus $221 nationally — the 25th most expensive on that measure.
Tips for guessing Illinois prices
A handy rule of thumb: at $216 per square foot, a 2,000 sq ft Illinois home would list somewhere near $432K — before you adjust for location, condition, lot size and finishes.
Expect a wide spread: Illinois listings in the game start around $50K and run as high as $7M, so the photos matter as much as the averages.

Chicago, Rockford and Aurora have the most Illinois homes in the game. Big-city listings and small-town ones can sit far apart on price, so the location badge is worth a look before you guess.

How the game works
Each round shows a real listing's photos, beds, baths and square footage. Drag the slider to your best price guess — the closer you land, the more of the 1,000 points you keep. Prices stay hidden until you lock in, so there's no peeking.
The daily challenge is free: five listings, the same for every player, drawn from all over the country — so Illinois homes turn up alongside everywhere else. Solo play lets you filter the pool down to a single state if you want to drill your home market.
