Interest rates are rising, bull markets are on ice, and yet the housing market seems to only be going in one direction. Since the new year I’ve had two open houses with 100+ people each. New construction 1,500 f² condos starting at $750,000 in Lakeview or a 6.36 acre property in Barrington priced the same. Legacy media will tell you that everything has been up, up, up, but what does that look like locally? Here is an interactive 3 year breakdown of the median average sales price in the markets I work most:
Lincoln Park Single Family Homes
9.1% increase of the Median Sales Price over the last 12 months
Lincoln Park Condos
2.1% increase of the Median Sales Price over the last 12 months
