North Park Chicago single family home sales

A charming North Park home near Northeastern Illinois University. All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

I was out on this cold Monday morning looking at North Park single family homes with my clients. The area is an option for their $400K budget.  It will still be tough.  About 25 homes sold at $400K or under over 2022. The condition of homes gets bleak fast under $350,000.

North Park Single Family Home Sales

62 single family homes sold over 2022 with a median price of about $450,000. As mentioned above about 25 of those homes sold for $400K and under.  One home sold for over $1M. 5741 N Kostner, Chicago IL 60646 closed for $1,249,000. 

Only six homes are currently for sale listed on the MLS. Prices range from $350,000 to $850,000.  Two additional homes are listed on the Private Listing Network.  We viewed one of those today listed at $349,900.

Supporting Northeastern Illinois University students through scholarships

My group had another great time playing and sponsoring NEIU Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event yesterday (quickly distancing after the photo!). Special thanks to Steve Dunnett, Blueleaf Lending and Nick Patterson, Owner, Kale Realty for joining me as Welcome Kit Sponsors.

It's been a long five months! Despite some challenges Northeastern Illinois University was able to pull off their 48th Annual Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event. There was little gathering together at the sold out event but we all enjoyed seeing a few familiar faces as we made our way to the course. The university staff and Wilmette Golf Club were terrific hosts making for a very welcomed round!

Not the best approach position of the day but we pulled it out!

Thank you  Steve Dunnett, Blueleaf Lending and Nick Patterson, Owner, Kale Realty  for once again joining me as Welcome Kit Sponsor. Additional thanks to Dr. Peter Schulz, North Michigan Avenue Chiropractic , the official chiropractor of Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty for joining us this year!

The event was successful in raising funds for the Chuck Kane Scholarship and many other much needed scholarships providing opportunities for hard working Northeastern Illinois students. NEIU is a fantastic university value right here on the North Side of the city.  Please support their efforts by donating to the general scholarship fund here! You may also designate your donation to the Alumni Travel Study Scholarship established by me and two alumni awarded to current students wishing to participate in study abroad programs. Thank you!

Would you buy a two-flat subject to tenancy?

This Edgewater two-flat is a great price and condition for our client. BUT it comes with a catch. All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty

We looked at a few newly listed small multi-unit buildings with our client on Sunday in Edgewater, Addison Mall and North Park neighborhoods. We jumped on the best priced building in Edgewater (preferred location). We found out quickly that the purchase was subject to tenancy.  This generally means the buyer will have to adhere to the current tenant lease agreements upon closing. Whatever that may be.

In this case the property has month to month tenants in both units and the "in-law" unit situation. We wanted the tenants vacated prior to a closing. The seller's agent has told us the owner won't do that... the tenants will be the buyer's responsibility.  Basically the tenants aren't going anywhere.

Even though the asking price is great this is too much risk for our buyer. This will be her primary home and she will rent the other unit out. No stomach for squatters or an eviction process should it come to that.  A professional investor who has dealt with tenant issues may be wise to scoop this up. Understanding local ordinances and a state's specific tenant law is key when buying multi-unit buildings.

Kale Realty and partners supporting NEIU student scholarships

Kale Realty, Inkt marketing, Blueleaf Lending and our clients raising money for Northeastern Illinois University student scholarships at last year's golf outing.

After graduating from Northeastern Illinois University in the North Park neighborhood of Chicago I've had the chance to be involved with the university on many levels.  This year my colleagues and I took the opportunity to step up our contributions. Kale Realty, Inkt Marketing and Steve Dunnett of Blueleaf Lending are the Northeastern Illinois University Welcome Sponsors for this year's Chuck Kane Scholarship Golf Event this Monday June 18th, 2018.  

I joined alumni Ellen Larrimore and Chuck Good to establish the new Alumni Travel Study Scholarship.

Proceeds from our sponsorship will support the newly established Alumni Study Tour Scholarship. 

Some of my favorite NEIU people joined me at the annual Donor/ Scholar luncheon this year!

I'm happy to say I received my college degree from Northeastern Illinois University.  The many scholarship opportunities, affordable tuition, professors and administrators all helped achieve my degree in three years debt free. Contact me to support the NEIU scholarship golf outing or many other university initiatives!

The coolest building ever built in Albany Park / North Park

The Nancy and G. Timothy Johnson Center

I had some business near the North Park University campus last week. If possible I take a walk through the campus (and eat at Tre Kroner) anytime I'm nearby.  The coolest building on campus is Johnson Center shown above. It is a contender for any throw down on best building ever built in Albany Park/ North Park of Chicago.

North Park, Chicago home sales 2017

I can't believe another year is coming to an end! Let's take a look at North Park single family homes sales.  We see North Park as a value buy on the North Side of Chicago. Prices have been inching up but remain way below Lincoln Square one neighborhood to the south. While the area is not convenient to CTA trains it does offer access to bus and highway options. North Park is home to large parks, nature areas and well rated school.

North Park home sales and more for 2017
68 single family homes sold this year (Jan 1st to Dec 15th) with a median price of about $350,000. The highest priced sale is $687,000 for 3435 W Glenlake Ave, Chicago IL 60659. The vintage 67' wide lot home featured six bedrooms and four and one-half baths but needed extensive updating.

North Park is home to many customer brick homes from traditional Chicago bungalows and Tudors to some really cool art deco beauties.

Fun fact! Only three of the North Park sold homes were newly gut rehabbed and none of the sold homes were new construction.  Not a single new construction home sale is really rare for a north side neighborhood in the current market. Lincoln Square, Forest Glen, Edgewater, Irving Park etc... so many surrounding neighborhoods have lots of new construction activity.

21 homes are currently for sale in North Park. The median price of a listed home is $439,000 (significantly higher than the median of a sold/ closed home). Ten homes are currently under contract with a median asking price of $345,000.  On par with a closed house this year.

North Park, Chicago home sales continue to offer value

Homes on the 5200 block of North Spaulding Avenue in North Park, Chicago (All photos Eric Rojas, Broker, Kale Realty)

We have several new clients reaching out to us looking for homes in the Lincoln Square area. However many buyers quickly find their budget does not go very far.  Enter North Park... the neighbor to the northwest! North Park has diverse single family home offerings from $350,000 to $600,000 that include classic brick bungalows, frame cottages and Tudor style homes.

 I spend a lot of time at the universities, parks and businesses of north Park. Let's take a look at single family home sales this year.

The charming outdoor dining at Tre Kroner, North Park neighborhood.

46 single family homes have closed in the North Park Community Area from Jan 1st this year to September 15th. The median price of a home sale is $355,000 (compare that with Lincoln Square around $700,000 now). The highest sold home during this time is $650,000 for a cool custom Art Deco built in 1935 at 5859 North St Louis Avenue, Chicago IL 60659

The lowest priced sold home is 3435 West Carmen for $210,000.  This was a short sale but a real steal. The home looked to be in good shape and sits in a neat pocket backing up to the Chicago River and near the Kimball Brown Line stop.

62 North Park single family homes sold over the same period in 2016 with a median price of $372,000.  In 2015, 66 homes sold with a median price of about $315,000.

Looking west over the North Park Community Area from the newer medical office building at Swedish Covenant Hospital. Along with Swedish, big employers are North Park University and Northeastern Illinois University.

Multi-unit sales (2-4 units)
Small multi-unit buildings are a great way to get your desired location and have income to help the mortgage. They can also be very flexible long term real estate investments.

Eight multi-unit buildings closed in North Park over the same period 2017 for a median price of about $425,000.

Sold! Fellow St. Matthias School family closes North Park house

5412 N Bernard is a spacious Chicago bungalow on a quiet tree-lined street of North Park. 

 Our buyer clients recently closed on their home in the pleasant North Park neighborhood. The gold brick Chicago bungalow was listed at $425,000.  The totally move-in ready house drew quite the crowd at the open house and early showing appointments.

Congrats to another St. Matthias School family client on their new home!! For all St. Matthias school families, parishioners and referral clients that close a transaction I donate $250.00 dollars to our Capital Campaign to build a school addition!

I've been a big cheerleader of the value North Park offers. This house is located in my favorite section of the community area adjacent to Northeastern Illinois University and near Northside College Prep and  North Park University.  There is a small strip of quality restaurants and businesses along West Foster (including Tre Kroner, The Local Pizzeria and Starbucks). The two universities, Legion Park and River Parks offer tons of extra-curricular activities. Big box and shopping mall conveniences await along North Lincoln Avenue just north in Lincolnwood.
