Housing Type: Condo
A few quick sales have practically demolished the little bit of inventory this market had. The homes that closed in the $400-500k range were new construction. Those that remain on the market are resale and have been listed for over 3 months. Even in the same price range it seems that resale homes and new construction might be in different markets. December tends to be a slow month in real estate. These sellers can try more aggressive strategies to attract a buyer, but they should be prepared for a dip in activity. The median sales price … (0 comments)

Like last month condos are taking about 3 months to sell. They are selling for 98.6% of asking price. So, sellers are pricing their homes pretty close to market value. The neighborhood is still in a seller's market, but most homes are taking just a little bit of time to sell. The median sales price for condos in University Village was $312,750.

As we saw in our last report market times are continuing to increase a bit. Currently the average market time for homes that are under contract is 131 days and for those that are available, it is 122 days. However, inventory levels remain super low at less than 3 months in each price range. Unless there is a rush of new listings the seller's market will likely continue through the year.

Inventory levels are holding steady with homes coming to the market at about the rate that they go under contract. However, market times are increasing. The average market time for the homes that are under contract is 80 days, like in our last report, but now most of these homes have a market time of over 90 days. We will see what happens when they close. The median sales price for University Village condos was $29,000

More homes came to the market than sold, since last month, but with average market times of only 45 days it looks like sellers will continue to enjoy fast sales. Overall the average market time of the condos that are under contract is 81 days, but about 60% of those homes have a market time of under 35 days. The median sales price for University Village condos was $315,000

There hasn't been a lot of movement among the condos over the past month. The average market times remain low at 85 days for active listings and 89 for those under contract. There continues to be more buyers than sellers in this neighborhood. Sellers are going to enjoy this spring. Even if they get a little competition this neighborhood will likely remain in a seller's market for the year.

Only a few condos have come to the market since last month. Market times are still pretty low with an overall market time of 118 days for closed condos and 88 days for those under contract. This is keeping the month's supply of inventory very low too. It will be a great spring for sellers, as there are plenty of buyers looking in this neighborhood. The median sales price for condos was $372,675.

Two homes went under contract last month, but that was the only activity among these condos. Over the past year, these homes have been deep in a seller's market. Currently, the month's supply of inventory is only a hair longer than it has been all year. We don't foresee this market drastically changing in the near future. This is good for sellers, they won't have to worry about having a lot of competition. Buyers will need to be prepared to write an offer as soon as they walk into a property, … (0 comments)

There were more closings than expected last month. One home closed for over list price, which moved it up to the $400-500k range. The list price was $395,000 + $25k for parking. If you include parking then the sellers were always asking over $400k for the home, it just didn't register as such on the MLS. In the end the home sold for $410,000. So it was over list price for the home, but if the closing price includes the parking then the buyers saved $10k over asking. The median sales price … (0 comments)

There haven't been many changes from last month. There was one quick sale in the $400-500k range, but the one that is under contract has a market time of 122 days. Sellers can still expect their listing to take a few months. A seller who can't wait that long can take measures towards a fast sale by pricing the home at or just below value and taking care to stage and market the home carefully. The median sales price for condos was $330,000.

Last month there had only been one condo sale and it took 592 days to sell. This month, again we only have one sale to look at, but this one only took a week! The month's supply of inventory shot up in the $400-500k range, but there is only one new listing. This is likely due to the incredibly long listing time of the sale from last month. Now that this month's sale took such little time we will probably see that number drop again next month. All-in-all inventory is still very … (3 comments)

Inventory is still climbing slightly from last month. There was one closing with a market time of a whopping 592 days! The average market time for the available homes is only 91 days so far. Just one sale is not enough to easily determine how long it will take for the other listings to sell. It's hard to say why it took so long for this home to sell. The pictures make it look like it is in good condition, clean, and well appointed for the area. Looking at the listing … (2 comments)

 *Allow me to let you in on a little industry secret. We have two ways of collecting these numbers for you. One is through a reporting program in the MLS called Infosparks. The other is by manually looking up the data in the MLS. Infosparks is great for a quick view of the market, however, if you want to dig deeper you need to go to the actual MLS, look up the data manually and you may find that the numbers don't quite match what you found on Infosparks. Infosparks is updated often, but not … (0 comments)

Activity in these price ranges is picking up since last month. The average market time for all of the closed sales may be just over two months, but two of them only show a market time of about two weeks! Those two were the last two to sell in a new building on Racine. They were both 3 bedroom Penthouse duplexes. The median sales price for condos in University Village/Little Italy was $321,000.

When looking at these charts please keep in mind that not every housing type is available in every neighborhood (the Loop only has condos) and some homes compete within even smaller subsections than these, meaning we can dig even further in this data. Please let … (0 comments)
