In December, the residential real estate market in Chicago again showed large variances depending on the city neighborhood. The statistic above for the Gold Coast is consistent with other Near North communities, but does not reflect the market condition of the city as a whole.

In other areas, especially in city center locations, supply was higher than demand, resulting in higher inventory and longer market time. Median prices have been able to stay strong, which is an indication that sellers are not desperate and are waiting for the market to recover, rather than slashing prices.
  • New Listings…
