The hustle and bustle of Chicago's East Lakeview community makes for a dynamic housing market as well.  Let's take a look at first quarter condo sales in 2014.

Lakeview Condo Sales Jan 1st - March 31st, 2014
Overall, 135 attached units (condo, town house) have sold from January 1st to March 31st in the East Lakeview neighborhood.  The median price of sold condos is about $245,000.  During the same period of 2013, 153 condos closed with a median price of about $199,000.

The small dip in unit sales most likely is due to rising prices and less short sales and foreclosures being cleared out.  The lack of "super deals" in smaller condos has sobered up the market while larger attached homes remain hot.
