The Ultimate New Luxury Hi-Rise Building in Lincoln Park!

harrymaisel — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 22:43:57 +0000

For those buyers looking for a total concierge experience in a building that will define an area, take a look at Lincoln Park 2520. The views are unparallelled, the finishes are of the highest caliber, the service will be stellar and the floorplans clean, smart and perfectly designed. Featuring 228 tower residences, there is absolutely nothing like it on the market.

I had the opportunity to visit the sales center a few months ago and was blown away by this project mainly because a building of this magnitude has not been contructed in Lincoln Park in over 20 years. This building is a stunner, featuring the most advanced amenities available including: a 20 seat theatre, dog exercise area and paw wash, concierge, indoor pool and jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms, conference room and incredible outdoor gardens.

Here is a link to Lincoln Park 2520:

How’s the Chicago Real Estate Market-April 2011

harrymaisel — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 22:32:53 +0000

(Millennium Park)

If you talk to people who have some sort of connection to the real estate community, you will most likely get different answers of how the Chicago residential real estate market is doing right now. The media takes a negative spin on the market, purporting that foreclosures and short-sales are on the rise and there will be many more to come. Many analysts will say it is not the right time to invest in real estate. Buyers think they will find the perfect property for pennies on the dollar in every part of the city.

Much of this rhetoric is just not true. Although there will be more foreclosures and short sales hitting the market this year, many existing re-sales are selling, especially at higher price points. Buyers with cash, are out there looking, purchasing high-end properties in some of the more prestigious areas of the city including: Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, Streeterville and One Mag Mile. This is also happening in some of the more exclusive suburban markets.

We expect inventory to rise in the short-term and demand to be slightly behind on the higher-end, in the middle price points-things will continue to sag. The lower-end price points should see demand just about keeping up with the new and existing inventory.

With interest rates at unbelievably low rates-hovering around 5%, and prices at 8-10 year lows, it is truly a great opportunity to make a purchase. If you know anyone in the market, please tell them to get off the fence and buy that larger home they always wanted, or in-town condo, or second home or first home for that matter.

Please do not hesitate to call me or send me an email me with your questions about the market or if you want a specific market analysis on your property.

Thank you and have a great April!

Warmest Regards,

HARRY
