Bucktown single family home sales start slow

 Bucktown on the North Side these days in known for great retail, dining and night-life.  It is also known for fairly modern new construction houses and eclectic renovations with an easy commute downtown.
The Bucktown neighborhood sales area


In first quarter 2012 (January-March), 5 single family home closed in Bucktown.  The median for this small sample size was just over $700,000 which is about right for the neighborhood over a longer period of time.  Unit sales are down from first quarter 2011 when 12 homes closed for a median of about $780,000.  In all of 2011, 58 homes sold for a median price about $770,000


This modern new construction on North Hoyne closed last year for $1.3M.
21 Bucktown single family homes are currently under contract ranging from $564,000 on the low end to $2.7 million.  One small bungalow in need of renovation or tear down on a 24' x 100' lot is under contract at 2042 W Cortland (offered at $270,000), but will most likely sell for more in what was surely multiple offers.
