Housing Type: Townhome
While the lack of inventory that we have been talking about among townhomes is continuing we are about to see a few quick sales. The one that sold took 105 days, which is in line with the market times in our last report. However, there are 3 homes under contract and they currently have an average market time of only 27 days. This is hopeful news if you are planning to list your home, but keep in mind that the homes that are still available have an average market … (0 comments)

Dearborn Park & Dearborn Mews
Housing Type: Townhome
Townhomes have seen the slightest increase in inventory. It's only been enough to make about one home available in each price range. Such a severe lack of competition for sellers is not helping market times. Buyers have seen all the inventory, so sellers may have to wait for new buyers to come look at the market. Market times haven't been drawing on too long, however. The average market time for sold homes is 143 days and for those under contract it is currently 131 days. The median sales price among townhomes was … (2 comments)

South Loop
Housing Type: Condo
Inventory levels have either dropped slightly or stayed about the same since our last report. Market times have been pretty low too. In the $700-800k range and the $1-2m range the last homes to close took approximately 150 days to sell however, the homes that are under contract in those categories have an average market time of only about 100 days. We tend to see a seasonal slow in the market as the summer wraps up, but with such low inventory to begin with this could be a great opportunity for sellers to move quickly. The … (0 comments)

Market times are ultra low, which doesn't indicate that the inventory is on the rise. However, there are a few more townhomes listed since our last report and the average market time of those that are listed is 80 days. Although inventory is still quite low this market might be slowing down a touch which will give it some much needed time to build back up. The median sales price among condos was $500,000.

Just like we saw yesterday in the Loop inventory is increasing slightly over last month and pushing the condos that are priced at $600k and higher into a balanced market. Both sellers and buyers tend to enjoy a balanced market. There is the right amount of inventory for demand. A seller who has been keeping a close eye on the market might feel it slowing down, but there is no need to panic. Homes that are priced and marketed well still sell quickly. The best strategy is to price your home at or just … (1 comments)

Loop
Housing Type: Condo
While many condos are still selling as quickly as they were in our last report we are seeing a small increase in listings coming to the market. This is pushing most of the price ranges over $600k into a balanced market. With more competition among sellers it is increasingly important to price your property for the market and make it visible to as many buyers as possible. See the chart at the bottom of this post to learn about how pricing affects visibility. The median sales price for condos was $347,000.

It is the home that had expired in our last report. The home is now under contract. It was relisted on May 6. Two changes were made to the listing; the price was raised to $410,000 and the showing restriction was lifted by an hour to no showings after 6:00 p.m. Of course, … (0 comments)

Housing Type: Condo
Buyers and sellers are hitting the spring market hard. There have been quite a few listings that came to the market since last month, but it's hardly enough to keep up with demand. About 45% of the condos that closed sold in a month or less and the overall average market time is only 61 days! Overall it's still a seller's market, but sellers have some competition too. It is very important in this market to price your home for maximum visibility. Bidding wars continue to be a common occurrence so even if you … (0 comments)

The only activity in the $400k+ price ranges was with one condo. It was originally listed in September, but was temporarily removed from the market during our last report and now it has expired. We don't know why it expired or didn't sell, but there are two things we can see in the listing sheet that would have made it harder for the sellers to reach all potential buyers. The first is a restriction, no showings after 5:00 p.m. Restrictions like this come up from time to time, but sellers … (0 comments)

South Loop
Housing Type: Condo
More homes went under contract and sold than came to the market in nearly every price range since last month. We need this pattern to continue so inventory levels can rise and the South Loop can reach a balanced market. The neighborhood is still in a seller's market and parts of it could remain there for another year. The spring market starts in just two months and that is when most homes come to the market, so in a few months we will likely see the year's height of inventory for this market. … (0 comments)

The only activity that occurred over the past month in the $400k+ price ranges was in townhomes. Two lower priced condos sold with a median sales price of $190,000 and an average market time of 19 days. Townhomes continue to mover quickly. One sold in only two days! The average market time for condo sales was 129 days, which shows that even when some homes are selling in less than a week a short market time is never guaranteed. Sellers still need to market their home carefully and price it … (2 comments)
