Gold Coast Chicago residential sales (single family median price up 25% from 2021)

We're back in the Gold Coast looking for a condo under $500K for out-of-state buyers. They will spend half the year here in Chicago and want an iconic neighborhood address.  

Gold Coast real estate has a mind of it's own. The single family and row house market does not necessarily mimic Chicago's other North Side neighborhoods due to the historic architecture and its unique location. Condos are a mixed bunch of vintage conversions, mid-rise and high-rise options (not to mention very elusive new construction options!). Market times can be very high for many of these elaborate and sometimes eccentric single family homes and condos... some over 1000 days on the MLS.

Greater Gold Coast sales area 

Single Family Home Sales January 1st to September 22nd, 2023

- 15 single family homes have sold in Gold Coast this year from January 1st to September 22nd. The median price of a sold home is about $2,500,000.  Unit sales have remained remarkably consistent over the past three years. 

- 16 homes sold over the same period over 2022 with a median price of about $2,600,000. 

- Interestingly only 17 homes sold over the frenzy of 2021 with median price of about $2,000,000.  We generally see much more units sales in 2021 than 2023 due to low interest rates and a quickly moving market. Gold Coast house unit sales have remained consistent despite the high mortgage interest rates and inventory problems plaguing most markets.

-Currently there are 28 single family homes for sale listed on our MLS. 16 of those homes have an asking price of over $3 million. The highest asking price at the moment is $17,750,000 for 3 West Burton Place.

Condo Sales January 1st to September 22nd, 2023

-552 attached condos sold this year with a median price of about $315,000.  This includes high-rise units. In the 2021 frenzy of low interest rates 612 condo units sold with a median of $315,000 as well. 

-If we look at buildings with 40 or less units only 54 condos sold with a median price of $885,000. Smaller buildings with larger units are a premium.

Small Multi-Unit Sales (2-4 units) 

- Only two small multi-unit building sold in the Gold Coast neighborhood so far this year. One four-unit billed as a redevelopment opportunity sold at 55 East Cedar Street, Chicago IL 60611 for $1,660,000. A three-flat with a beautiful duplex "owners unit" at 46 Est Cedar sold for $2,520,000. 

-There were no residential two-four unit buildings sold in 2021 or 2022.
