400 W. Huron Condos For Sale, Chicago IL

In recent months, much of Chicago’s development news has been related to luxury rentals—most notably at buildings like 111 W. Wacker, 500 N. Lake Shore, 73 E. Lake, and 850 N. Lake Shore. But as the downtown Chicago real estate market continues to thrive, we’re slowly but surely starting to see more condo projects in the works, just like what will soon be located at 400 W. Huron.

As luxury rentals continue to saturate the market, many believe the demand for condominium residences in downtown Chicago is back on the rise, especially for the luxury demographic.

Last week, Zillow released their monthly Buyer-Seller Index for Chicago—a report that helps determine the top buyer’s and seller’s markets in a given area based on stats like days on market, rate of price cuts, and sales-to-list price ratio. To the surprise of some, Streeterville and the Gold Coast are among Chicago’s top buyer’s markets due to what seem like two somewhat compelling figures.  

Although Streeterville and the Gold Coast are widely considered to be among the most prominent neighborhoods in all of Chicago, the average stay on the market for listings in these areas is still in the four to five month range, while nearly half of the recent homes and condos to come to market have experienced from sort of price reduction. To be exact, 41.4…
