The 2020s have been lousy for the downtown condo market – Crain’s*

The median price of homes sold in Chicago rose about 39% between January 2020, prior to any pandemic impact on the housing market, and April 2022. Figures for the downtown neighborhoods show a stark difference from the rest of the city. The median price of condos sold in the Gold Coast in that same 28-month period went down 1%. They’re up, but weakly compared with the city overall, in Streeterville (up 8.4%), River North (3.8%) and the South Loop (up 7.8%).

Diversity and inclusion at work.
