Current South Loop townhouse sales

I was in South Loop yesterday showing townhouses. Weather felt nice!

Seven town houses have closed this year from January 1st to February 12th with a median price of $750,000

29 town homes are actively listed with median asking $710,000

Only 14 are fee simple with assessment under $300.00 per month

12 town homes under contract w/ median asking price $650,000

86 town homes closed in South Loop in 2020 with a median price of $640,000. That median price was up 16% since 2015 where 88 town homes sold with a median price of $550,000. The town house style of living is in high demand due to the "single family home" feeling and lower assessments than the surrounding condo buildings.

Contact us to find or sell in the Chicago Loop, North Side or near suburbs.

We're currently preparing a South Loop townhome for the market. Let's take a look at greater South Loop sales this year.

South Loop condo sales January 1st to November 13th

South Loop unit sales were down about 72 units (-13%) in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.  The median price of a sold condo is up about 3% year to year.

548 South Loop condos (attached units and townhomes) have sold so far this year.  The median price of a sold unit is $382,000. The highest priced sale is 1201 South Prairie Unit 5301, Chicago IL 60605 for $1,620,000. The lowest priced sale so far this year is 345 East Eastgate Place Unit 305, Chicago IL 60616 for $125,000.

620 units sold over the same period in 2019 with a median price of about $372,000.

Sold! Buyer clients trade the city for Hinsdale (sales are up)

609 Grant, Hinsdale IL 60521 on the morning walk-through before closing. 

Our long time clients recently closed on a classic Hinsdale single family home. After eight years owning in the South Loop it was their time to enjoy a little more space, a yard and home maintenance 😂 609 Grant was listed for $649,900 and our clients closed for $635,000 with additional closing cost considerations. The $635,000 range is a value for the neighborhood while our clients got everything on their wish list; ensuite bathroom in main bedroom, big yard and deck, two car garage, finished basement and main floor guest bedroom for their growing family! 

Hinsdale home sales in 2020

Hinsdale homes sale units and median price are up a bit over 2019. So far this year 213 homes have been recorded as sold from January 1st to August 28th.  The median price of a closed house is $930,000.  Over the same period in 2019 about 200 homes sold with a median price of $900,000. The pandemic boost some are writing about may be in play.   

We hate to see some of our clients leave the city but we are always excited to help them find their suburban homes. We bring the same resources and care to the suburban house as we do in the city!

Under contract! South Loop condo sells fast with multiple offers (and peek at South Loop sales)

South Loop condo sales January 1st and August 27th, 2020

South Loop is dominated by high-rise buildings.  Considering the nature of the coronavirus pandemic it is interesting to see how attractive the high-rise condo market has been this year. 405 condo (attached units and attached town houses) have sold thus far in 2020. The median price of a sold condo is about $380,000. Unit sales are down year to year by 18% while median price was about even. In 2019 over the same period 495 condo units sold with a median price of about $372,500. I think many would have predicted a worse outcome when the shelter in place order went into effect.  

Fun Fact: 1201 S Prairie Unit 5301 is the highest priced sold condo at $1,620,000. The lowest priced sold condo is 345 East Eastgate Place Unit 305 for $125,000.

Pool life! 1101 S State along with several other South Loop buildings offer the amenity lifestyle in a central location. 

After a spring pause the Chicago market had a hot June and July despite the pandemic. Early this year I was predicting a relatively slow fall due the upcoming national election. I think the recent civil unrest, lingering pandemic and the election will ultimately hamper over-all unit transactions for the remainder of the year.
