CHICAGO, IL – Building on the positive
momentum of 2014, which saw a strengthening for-sale market with Chicago-area
home prices up and on par with 2003 numbers, as well as continued demand for
new rental options, with Class A downtown apartments averaging 93.8 percent
occupancy, Chicago-area real estate experts are looking ahead to 2015 with
optimism.
Here are the top
trends they anticipate shaping the 2015 real estate landscape:
1.
Condos Make a Comeback: As buyer confidence grows and lending
restrictions decrease, condominium sales – and pricing – will see an uptick in
2015.
“There’s strong demand, but new construction has been nearly
non-existent since the downturn, and condo inventory is at its lowest level
since tracking began in 1997,” said David Wolf, president of Related
Realty. “That spells opportunity for developers, and we’re starting to see new
projects announced.”
