The city withdrew its bid in 2018, saying it didn't make economic sense to host the tournament.

Judge orders MRED to restore Zillow home listings

A court ruling restores Zillow's access to Chicago-area listings amid a fight over private sales.

A federal judge ordered the company that distributes most Chicago-area home listings to restore <a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="Zillow" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/05/20/chicago-homes-zillow-mred-listings-cutoff-compass-private-listings" data-vars-content-id="2ac3f004-c19c-48ca-bdfc-e1e9d07a2c79" data-vars-headline="Judge orders MRED to restore Zillow home listings" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/05/20/chicago-homes-zillow-mred-listings-cutoff-compass-private-listings" target="_self">Zillow</a>&#x27;s access to its database — at least for now.Why it matters: Buyers who visited Zillow were not seeing the full scope of homes for sale after MRED, the major multi-listing service for the Chicago area, cut off Zillow&#x27;s access to its portal this week.

Chicago-area homes for sale may disappear from Zillow

A dispute over private listings means buyers may no longer see all Chicago-area homes online.

The company that distributes most Chicago-area home listings is cutting off <a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="Zillow&#x27;s" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/05/13/zillow-lawsuit-mred-compass-private-listings-chicago-housing-market" data-vars-content-id="7a9a3ebc-aa50-44d2-9e45-dcf6711a55ea" data-vars-headline="Chicago-area homes for sale may disappear from Zillow" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/05/13/zillow-lawsuit-mred-compass-private-listings-chicago-housing-market" target="_self">Zillow&#x27;s</a> access to those properties.Why it matters: Homebuyers using Zillow and Trulia will soon no longer see all Chicago-area homes for sale, and sellers won&#x27;t be able to rely on those sites to get their listing in front of buyers.

Zillow sues MRED and Compass over private listings

The lawsuit accuses MRED and Compass of colluding over private home listing access.

La Shawn Ford and Pat Quinn push property tax relief

If successful, it could send property owners checks worth $1,500, on average.

Politics

Illinois property owners could score tax relief checks of $1,500 on average if a new &quot;millionaire&#x27;s tax&quot; succeeds this year, according to former Gov. Pat Quinn.Why it matters: In 2025, Illinois had the highest residential property tax in the nation, per a <a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="recent Cook County Treasurer report" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/03/30/why-cook-county-property-taxes-high" data-vars-content-id="ed272c46-5cd0-4faf-a95c-7472d708ff1b" data-vars-headline="La Shawn Ford and Pat Quinn push property tax relief" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/03/30/why-cook-county-property-taxes-high" target="_self">recent Cook County Treasurer report</a>.<ul><li>While many remedies have been proposed, this one offers some of the quickest relief, with payouts potentially arriving as soon as 2027.</li></ul>Driving the news: Quinn and state Rep.

Gov. JB Pritzker&#x27;s office told Axios on Tuesday that it &quot;will monitor and review legislation as it moves through the General Assembly. Any legislation that requires additional state resources will be carefully reviewed with budgeteers to understand the fiscal impact.&quot;Zoom out: &quot;Millionaire taxes&quot; have passed elsewhere.

Why Cook County property taxes are so high

Reasons include loopholes like TIFS that allow increases outside of state safeguards.

Cook County property taxes have risen at twice the rate of inflation over the past 30 years, per a <a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="new study" data-vars-click-url="https://www.cookcountytreasurer.com/" data-vars-content-id="b13ac052-0b99-48a1-b88c-bc8895190813" data-vars-headline="Why Cook County property taxes are so high" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.cookcountytreasurer.com/" target="_blank">new study</a> from county Treasurer Maria Pappas.Why it matters: Property taxes represent one of the biggest cost burdens local homeowners face each year, and high taxes are often cited as reasons to leave town.

Chicago rent prices went up more than other major cities

Median rent in the Chicago area hit $1,670 after a 4% jump — even as U.S. rents tick down slightly.

Chicago&#x27;s median rent rose faster than in the other nine largest U.S. cities.Why it matters: Housing is unaffordable for many. A new Harvard report finds a record number of renters are &quot;<a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="cost-burdened" data-vars-click-url="https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/americas-rental-housing-2026" data-vars-content-id="c44a4d3d-5906-43c1-a316-4e063a2e69c7" data-vars-headline="Chicago rent prices went up more than other major cities" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/americas-rental-housing-2026" target="_blank">cost-burdened</a>,&quot; spending more than 30% of their income on rent and utilities.<ul><li>Although the median U.S. rent for new leases is down 1.5% from a year ago, it&#x27;s still roughly 20% above pre-pandemic levels, per Apartment List.</li></ul>
