Crib Chatter on Vacation: Nov 1 to Nov 8

I’m taking a break to start November. As you can tell from my lack of posting on this site in parts of October, it’s just been a very busy time in my “real” life.

Vacations are good. Everyone needs time off.

However, I do think some interesting projects are coming online and the luxury market, outside of downtown condos, is very active.

It looks like low inventory will be the norm into 2025, so we will have to get used to it.

But I intend to pick up the baton again with new posts in mid-November. I’m hoping to cover more single family home listings, if possible.

I’ll be checking in on the site from the beach. Please play nice.

See you then-

Sabrina

 

Market Conditions: Chicago Sales Fell 12% YOY in September as Inventory Remains Low

Chicago’s September sales fell 12% as inventory remains low. It was the lowest number of sales since 2011, which was during the housing bust. (The picture above was actually taken in October 2011 in Lincoln Park.)

From the Illinois Association of Realtors:

The city of Chicago saw a 12.0 percent year-over-year home sales decrease in September 2024 with 1,643 sales, down from 1,867 in September 2023. The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in September 2024 was $350,000, an increase of 7.7 percent from September 2023 when the median price was $325,000.

September sales for the last 18 years:

  • 2007: 2172 sales
  • 2008: 1816 sales
  • 2009: 1918 sales
  • 2010: 1403 sales
  • 2011: 1498 sales
  • 2012: 1845 sales
  • 2013: 2395 sales
  • 2014: 2242 sales
  • 2015: 2414 sales
  • 2016: 2398 sales
  • 2017: 2355 sales
  • 2018: 2040 sales
  • 2019: 2006 sales
  • 2020: 2635 sales
  • 2021: 2684 sales
  • 2022: 2064 sales
  • 2023: 1867 sales
  • 2024: 1643 sales

Median prices for the last 18 years:

  • 2007: $267,750
  • 2008: $268,600
  • 2009: $225,000
  • 2010: $180,000
  • 2011: $190,000
  • 2012: $188,900
  • 2013: $230,000
  • 2014: $249,000
  • 2015: $250,000
  • 2016: $260,000
  • 2017: $275,000
  • 2018: $285,000
  • 2019: $292,250
  • 2020: $322,350
  • 2021: $320,000
  • 2022: $320,000
  • 2023: $325,000
  • 2024: $350,000

“In September, closed sales trended down, but the need to buy and sell was still evident in the decrease of days on market and increase in median sales price,” Erika Villegas, president of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and broker and owner of RE/MAX In the Village said. “With interest rates hitting their lowest in September, and knowing a transaction cycle is around 60 days, we should see the impact of dropping interest rates in the coming months.”

The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage fell to the lowest level of the year at 6.18%. That was down from 6.5% in August and 7.2% in September of last year.

However, there is a lag on the mortgage rates as buyers tend to lock in the rate and then buy several months later.

September’s low rates won’t really show up until October and November closings.

Also of note, rates have risen again here in October.

Statewide, inventory continued to recover off of its lows for the second month in a row, gaining 6.1% to 22,284 from 21,010 homes last year. Inventory still remains extremely low statewide.

But Chicago inventory continued to drop, falling 8.9% to 5,254 homes.

For comparison purposes, for the month of September:

  • 2021: 9,478
  • 2022: 8,163
  • 2023: 5,768
  • 2024: 5,254

“Our three-month forecast expects statewide closed sales activity in the fourth quarter of 2024 to be about 6 percent lower than levels seen in the fourth quarter of 2023, and prices of single-family homes are expected to increase by nearly 14 percent by the end of the year compared to December 2023,” said Geoff Smith, Executive Director, Institute for Housing Studies at DePaul University in Chicago.

“Homebuying conditions continue to be challenging with affordability remaining a concern, but there are some signs that these conditions may ease with statewide housing inventories increasing starting in the second half of 2024 and recent declines in mortgage interest rates.”

Condo sales slumped more than single-family-home sales with condos down 15% to 976 while SFH sales were down just 7.2% to 667.

Number of days on the market in Chicago fell to 29 from 30 last year. It was also 30 days in September 2022. 29 to 30 days seems to be the new norm.

Given the lag in mortgage rates, and that they are again rising, are they a non-factor in influencing Chicago’s market for the rest of the year?

A 2-Bedroom with the Original Mid-Century Modern Kitchen Cabinets: 320 W. Oakdale in Lakeview

This 2-bedroom in 320 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview came on the market in October 2024.

The building was designed by Milton Schwartz in 1955 and has 51 units and covered parking. It has many mid-century modern fans.

This is from Wikipedia about the building’s history:

The building at 320 West Oakdale is representative of the apartment building boom in ChicagoIllinois in the 1950s and 1960s. Milton M. Schwartz served as the building’s architect, contractor, and developer, and the building was his first major design. As such, he had complete control over the creative direction of the building, and so was able to tailor it to his interests.

Schwartz intended the building to serve as luxury apartments for the city elite. The apartment was designed so that residences had windows in three or four directions. Rooms were designed to resemble single-story ranch homes. The building was one of the first completely air conditioned all-glass apartments in Chicago.

Stark in its repetition and simplicity, it is a good example of the International Style. The building was highlighted in a 1955 Architectural Forum article about recent Chicago apartment buildings. In the article, it was compared favorably to nearby works by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. On April 23, 2013, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

There is on-site management, including an engineer, but no door staff. It has a bike room and a laundry room.

The listing calls this unit “mid-century modern perfection.”

It has walls of floor-to-ceiling glass windows with panoramic views of the lake, park and cityscape from the 20th floor.

There are hardwood floors in the main living areas.

The unit has a unique arched formal entry foyer.

It has a large great room which can really be used almost as 2 living rooms.

There’s a separate dining room which is open to the great room.

The kitchen has the original St Charles wood cabinets but has been updated with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator, and terrazzo tile floors. It also has a peninsula which seats 3.

This unit has some of the features buyers look for including central air and parking for $25,000 extra but it doesn’t have in-unit washer/dryer. There is a laundry room in the building.

It also has just 1.5 baths instead of 2 full bathrooms.

This building is near Lincoln Park, the Diversey driving range, the shops and restaurants of Broadway and East Lakeview and multiple bus routes.

Listed in October 2024 at $550,000,  is this a dream unit for those who love mid-century modern architecture?

Brad Lippitz and Anne Killarney at Compass have the listing. See the pictures here (sorry, no floor plan).

This new construction 4-bedroom duplex down at 1457 W. Roscoe in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview came on the market in September 2024.

Built in 2024, 1457 W. Roscoe is on a corner lot on Roscoe and Greenview. It has 3 units and garage parking.

The listing says it is a full masonry and limestone construction by Surf Development.

At 3100 square feet, it “truly lives like a single family home.”

It has an extra-large floor plan with 10 foot high ceilings.

The home has extensive crown moldings, wainscotting, and millwork throughout.

It has 3.5″ white oak floors throughout.

The living room has a custom built fireplace mantel with a marble surround. There is also a fireplace in the great room with built-in bookcases.

The first floor has the living room, dining room, great room and kitchen.

The kitchen has white cabinets, an extra large quartz island, luxury appliances including Subzero and a 48″ Wolf range, Wolf microwave and Cove dishwasher.

The lower level has all 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and a second family room.

The primary suite has a “spa-like” bathroom with double vanity, separate steam shower, heated floors along with a walk-in-closet.

There are 3 outdoor spaces including over the garage and a private deck off the primary suite.

Unit #2 in the building is already under contract listed at $874,000. It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bath at 1550 square feet.

You can look at those pictures here.

This unit was originally listed in September 2024 for $1,549,999, went under contract in October, but came back on the market with a $50,000 price cut at $1.495 million.

Is $1.495 million the new price point for a luxury duplex down in Southport?

Love Turets? A 2/2 in Wrigleyville with Parking for $475,000: 3359 N. Clifton

This 2-bedroom at 3359 N. Clifton in the Wrigleyville neighborhood of Lakeview came on the market in October 2024.

Built in 1895, 3359 N. Clifton has 6 units and attached heated garage parking. The building is a walk-up.

It was converted into condos in 2003.

This unit is one of the turet units with a “blend of charm and comfort.”

It has 10-foot ceilings and oversized windows with 3 exposures.

Although the building is vintage, it doesn’t have much of its vintage charm on the interiors outside of hardwood floors throughout. There is no crown molding or fireplace.

The kitchen has been “refreshed” and has freshly painted gray cabinets (looks like they were white in the 2020 sale) and new white countertops (they were black granite previously).

The listing says there is a breakfast bar, but it looks like an island with seating for 2.

There is a living/dining room combo with gold light fixtures.

Even though it’s a vintage building, the unit has the features that buyers look for with central air, washer/dryer in the unit and one heated garage space included.

It also has private outdoor space with a deck off the kitchen for grilling and entertainment.

There’s also extra storage in the basement.

This building is located near both Wrigley Field and the Southport corridor but I choose to call it as being in Wrigleyville as it’s east of Racine.

However, shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away, with Two Hearted Queen cafe just a block away, as are bus lines and the subway.

It is not on the El (which is across the street on Roscoe)

Listed at $475,000, does this unit have it all for buyers looking under $500k in this popular neighborhood?
