Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom duplex up in 235 W. Eugenie in Old Town came on the market in July 2023.

Designed by famed architect Harry Weese in 1962, the complex has 23 condos and outdoor parking. The listing says it’s an all-electric building which also has basement storage lockers and a bike room.

We have chattered about Harry Weese, and this building, numerous times over the years.

From The Art Institute of Chicago:

In 1940, Weese joined the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, but was drafted into the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1941. Weese returned to SOM in 1946, but left to open his own office, Harry Weese Associates, in 1947.

Throughout his career, Weese was an outspoken advocate for architecture and planning that embraced the social, political, and economic realities of contemporary urban life. Among his most recognized designs are the Washington, DC, metro rail system; the United States embassy in Accra, Ghana; and the Arena Stage complex near Washington, DC. Weese also led the restoration of Louis Sullivan’s Auditorium building in Chicago.

This unit is one of those on the second and third floors. It has hardwood floors throughout.

The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen and a powder room.

There’s a fireplace in the living room.

The kitchen has maple cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

The two bedrooms and full bath are on the second floor along with 2 private decks, one facing north and one facing south.

The unit has the features buyers look for including washer/dryer in the unit (2022) and Minisplit AC installed in 2019. It also has one outdoor parking space which is included.

The listing says the following about the building:

The well managed home owner association with solid reserves replaced the roof in 2018, installed Ipe decks in 2018, and replaced the deck doors in 2021 and the south side lower louvered panels in 2023.

This building is in the heart of Old Town, near all the shops and restaurants of Old Town and Lincoln Park, near Lincoln Park and the Green City Market. There are several bus lines nearby.

Listed at $499,900, it last sold in 2016 for $444,500.

Will it get the premium in this low inventory market?

It’s time to talk about the May sales data. It’s been trending the same for most of this year with sales down sharply year-over-year, median price coming down and inventory continuing to fall.

It was the slowest May since May 2020 which got hit as the market froze up when COVID hit and the lock downs started in March 2020. Before COVID, it was the slowest May since 2012, which was the bottom of the housing bust.

From the Illinois Association of Realtors:

The city of Chicago saw a 29.0 percent year-over-year home sales decrease in May 2023 with 2,397 sales, down from 3,374 in May 2022.

The median price of a home in the city of Chicago in May 2023 was $335,000, down 4.4 percent compared to May 2022 when it was $350,500.

May Sales:

• May 2008: 2119 sales
• May 2009: 1557 sales
• May 2010: 2057 sales

“In May, we saw a tempering of the market compared to last month. An increase in closed sales compared to April is a sign of a summer market rife with opportunities,” said Sarah Ware, president of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and principal and designated managing broker for Ware Realty Group in Chicago. “As always, eyes are on mortgage rates as they creep down.”

The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 6.43% up from April’s 6.34% and also up from May 2022 when it was 5.23%.

Across the state, inventory continues to remain tight. Statewide inventory fell 27.3% to 17,649 from 24,268 last year. That was the second lowest monthly average of homes for sale since 2008, which was when the IAR started keeping this data.

In Chicago, inventory fell 28% to 5125 homes from 7115 homes a year ago. For comparison purposes, in May 2019, before COVID, May inventory was 10,096, or nearly double 2023’s inventory.

“The number of home sales is significantly lower than at this time last year,” said Dr. Daniel McMillen, head of the Stuart Handler Department of Real Estate (SHDRE) at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Business Administration.

“Interest rates remain high, and homeowners who bought their properties at a time of low interest rates are reluctant to move to a new home that would need to be financed at a much higher rate. Although we predict home prices to follow the usual seasonal pattern and peak in June, we predict the decline in prices to be lower in July and August than was the case in 2021 or 2022. Our forecasts indicate that the number of sales will remain at about their current levels in July and August.”

In Chicago, the sales decline was more pronounced in condos than single family homes. Condo sales fell 32.6% to 1546 while single family homes fell just 21.2% to 851.

Days on the market also rose 17.2% to 34 from 29 last year.

Mortgage rates have continues to trickle up in June, instead of down.

But do mortgage rates really even matter?

Or is it the lack of inventory that is truly driving this market?

Illinois statewide home sales and housing inventory fell in May [Illinois Association of Realtors, by Bill Kozar, Press Release, June 22, 2023]

This 3-bedroom townhouse in the Historic St Michael’s Gated Community at 1612 N. Saint Michaels Ct in Old Town came on the market in June 2023. (Picture is of the complex but not this specific townhouse)

Built in 1980, there are 14 townhouses that surround a landscaped courtyard and gardens. It appears to be a walled complex with gates. It has an underground garage and a common shared courtyard deck.

This townhouse is in the interior courtyard and the listing says it is a “hidden secret.”

It has been rehabbed to include an open and contemporary staircase.

The townhouse has exposed brick, including in the main floor powder room. There are hardwood floors throughout the main level.

It has two seating areas on the main floor which is open concept with the kitchen and dining room. There’s a small east facing balcony off the dining room and a Boulevard ventless fireplace.

This townhouse has central air and one garage parking space is included with a second one available for purchase in the underground garage. The listing says: “The Back stairs from the unit leads down to the garage. This is not an Elevator Building.”

I’m not sure which level you enter into this townhouse from. Is there a first and second floor? The listing says the living areas are on the third and fourth floors. There is no floor plan.

Listed at $849,000, will this townhouse be under contract by the weekend?

Kieran Conlon and Patrick Cullen at Compass have the listing. See the pictures here.

This 3-bedroom in 444 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview came on the market in June 2023. Sorry, I don’t have a picture of this building but I wanted to crib on it anyway.

I can’t find a date on the building but it is vintage and has 6 units. There is outdoor parking behind the building and basement storage.

This unit was recently sold in February 2023 “as-is.” From that listing:

NOTE: AS-IS sale. Photos have virtual editing and the remainder of the photos are of how the actual space shows currently. Condo needs bathroom, kitchen, electrical, plumbing updates & possible mechanical upgrades as age is unknown but currently are operational. No representations can be made as to viability of what operates correctly or not. No en-suite master bathroom. No private outdoor space. No dog building. 100% owner occupied, but rentals are permitted.

It has come back on the market with “coastal vibes meet vintage charm.”

The unit still has some of its vintage features including crown molding, a foyer, a separate dining room and millwork in the living and dining rooms.

There are hardwood floors throughout (originals?) and new arched doorways.

The living room has a sunroom with a bay window and an art deco chandelier along with vintage sconces and a “statement” electric fireplace with lime wash paint finish surround and built-ins.

The dining room has custom built-ins with a beverage refrigerator.

The kitchen has been gutted and now has cream cabinets with gold pulls, 2 pantry cabinets, veined quartz countertops, and a full quartz backsplash.

The listing says primary bedroom fits a king bed but like the original sale earlier this year, it still has a shared bath with the second bedroom. That bathroom has a walk-in-shower and a double vanity sink.

There’s a second bathroom that has a air jet tub, French Gold Kohler fixtures, custom green vanity with quartz top and pink tile surround in the bathtub.

There’s an office off the kitchen.

It also has some painted exposed brick walls.

This unit has the features buyers look for, which are rare in vintage units, including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and one outdoor on-site parking space.

But for those dog lovers, you’re out of luck. Still no dogs allowed.

There is also no outdoor space with this unit.

This building is in the Nettlehorst school district, is near the shops and restaurants of East Lakeview, is near several grocery stores and multiple bus lines as well as Lincoln Park and the lake front.

The February 2023 listing said this unit was rarely available. It was the first resale since at least 1990.

The unit sold in February 2023 for $417,500. It is listed for $332,500 more, at $750,000.

Will this seller get the premium?
