News Just In...Another good week in "Bucktown" residential real estate. "Bucktown" defined as between North Ave and the 90/94 Expwy and Ashland and Western. 7 properties found new owners. 5 "attached", 1 "multi-unit", and 1 "detached" single family. 1 of the 7 was sold SHORT.
The lowest closing was a 3 unit frame building at 1657 North Paulina. Purchased in 2003 for $440,000 it closed with a 206 day market time for $415,000, 66% of its original list price of $629,000 and 94% of its 2003 price.
The highest closing was a 3 bedroom/3.1 bath single family at 1922 North Oakley. This quintessentially Bucktown "cottage" which was originally a candy store was purchased in Feb 2002 for $275,000, completely gut rehabbed and dormered up and just sold in 149 days for $737,500 or 89% of its original list price of $825,000.
This weeks short sale was a 3 bed/2.1 bath duplex up condo at 1915 North Damen Unit E. Purchased in April 2007 for $1,124,900, it sold very short for $672,500 or 59% of its 2007 price in 253 days. Ouch!
