The home equity in Atwood peaked in 2007 when it reached its highest value ever ($269K). Since then it has slowly decreased to its current value of $236K. This decrease can be attributed to several factors including: 1) increased competition among buyers due to low interest rates; 2) an increase in foreclosures; and 3) an increase in home prices throughout Illinois as a whole (due to increasing demand and limited supply).

Despite these challenges, Atwood homeowners have seen their home equity values continue to rise over time as long as they maintain their homes within acceptable standards (e.g., keeping up with repairs/maintenance). In addition to this trend of rising home equity values over time, Atwood homeowners also tend to benefit from higher prices when compared with other areas within Cook County - specifically those located closer to downtown Chicago or suburban areas such as Naperville or Schaumburg (both of which are within commuting distance of Chicago).
