River North is Back to 2006 Prices: A 3-Bedroom in 600 N. Kingsbury
This 3-bedroom duplex up at 600 N. Kingsbury in River North just came on the market.
The listing calls it a “penthouse” because it’s on the top floor of that lower part of the building in the picture.
The unit overlooks the park and has river views.
There is an office/den on the second level which has 2 stories worth of windows.
2 of the 3 bedrooms are on the main floor with the third on the second floor.
The kitchen has stainless steel, granite and white cabinets.
There is central air, washer/dryer in the unit and 2 car parking is available for $25,000 each.
Including the 2-car parking (which the other sales, except the 2002 purchase, did include), this unit is priced at the 2006 purchase price.
Is it a positive for the housing market that the bubble has reflated in the River North neighborhood?

It changes hands every three to four years. Interesting. What’s the catch?
“the bubble has reflated in the River North neighborhood”
In real dollar terms, *IF* this sells at the $650 ask, it’s over 27% UNDER the **2002** price.
Doesn’t look like a bubble price to me.
“In real dollar terms, *IF* this sells at the $650 ask, it’s over 27% UNDER the **2002** price.”
2002 wasn’t the peak of the bubble.
“2002 wasn’t the peak of the bubble.”
Um, yeah, I know. Which makes it much *LESS* likely that this is a ‘peak bubble’ price. 2002 to peak, based on C-S Condo index, was up ~30%–so, if it tracked, this one would/should have sold for about $865k in Sep-07.
Or are we now saying that the highest price that any property ever sold at was the “bubble price” regardless of when that highest sale was made?
