Me and my spouse just bought in Chi. There's decent condo inventory in the city proper (West Loop, River North, LP, Lake View, even into Wicker/Logan) but SFHs in the burbs are slim pickins, especially in desirable neighborhoods (North Shore/Evanston, along the BNSF and UPW).
You've got to be ready to overbid (our first SFH got overbid by 70k), "best and last", and deal with 5+ bids per house.
You can find stuff away from public transit/no walkability but then why move to Chicago at that point?
