Chicago area home sales drop, prices slide (Sun-Times, Aug 26, 2008)
I don’t remember who it was who commented about $600,000 to $700,000 townhouses in University Village, the area just west of the Dan Ryan Expressway near UIC and Little Italy.

While we’re waiting for Lincoln Park and Lakeview prices to decline, the price reductions are happening in other neighborhoods- sometimes quite dramatically. Take the case of this lovely unit in a 1906 vintage building at 1353 W. Wilson in Sheridan Park (or is that Ravenswood?) on the North Side. The listing indicates that lender approval is now required. […]
Gosh- a lot happens when I’m out of the loop for just a few days. Thanks to G and others who posted the new downtown condo sales info in a prior thread (with links to the Crain’s article.) I’m reposting it here for further discussion because of the implications for the overall market from these sales numbers. These […]
