Lincoln Square multi-unit (two-four units) sales in 2016: Median price up $150,000 since 2012

We spent some of the weekend showing Lincoln Square two-flats to a great client of ours.  They want to stay in the neighborhood and a two-flat will make the most financial sense for them. The Lincoln Square two-flat market has been very active this year.  Many two-flats are still bought and converted to single family homes. I suspect the trend has shifted back slightly to "owner operators" as the prices in the area have gone up for the past 5 years.
