2016 Price Appreciation
Bottom Line for all homes, including River North:
The lower priced homes (which are in higher demand) appreciated at greater rates than the homes at the upper ends of the spectrum. At the lower end of the market, buyers are typically more sensitive to interest rate increases. This adds to the demand for these homes as rates have begun to increase. Many buyers at the higher price points pay cash. However, higher priced homes are still appreciating at 5.5% nationally according to CoreLogic.
Condos for sale in River North are in high demand. Some notable buildings include The Pinnacle, 55 E Erie, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, The Fordham and Trump Tower.
