We're back in the Gold Coast looking for a condo under $500K for out-of-state buyers. They will spend half the year here in Chicago and want an iconic neighborhood address.
Gold Coast real estate has a mind of it's own. The single family and row house market does not necessarily mimic Chicago's other North Side neighborhoods due to the historic architecture and its unique location. Condos are a mixed bunch of vintage conversions, mid-rise and high-rise options (not to mention very elusive new construction options!). Market times can be very high for many of these elaborate and sometimes eccentric single family homes and condos... some over 1000 days on the MLS.

Single Family Home Sales January 1st to September 22nd, 2023
- 15 single family homes have sold in Gold Coast this year from January 1st to September 22nd. The median price of a sold home is about $2,500,000. Unit sales have remained remarkably consistent over the past three years.

- Interestingly only 17 homes sold over the frenzy of 2021 with median price of about $2,000,000. We generally see much more units sales in 2021 than 2023 due to low interest rates and a quickly moving market. Gold Coast house unit sales have remained consistent despite the high mortgage interest rates and inventory problems plaguing most markets.
