The housing market is on fire according to Crain’s Chicago Business, where last weekend, this Southport Avenue open house had a line out the door.
When John Grafft scheduled a one-hour open house at a new 11-unit condo building on Southport Avenue in Lakeview for this past weekend, he didn’t count on having to use the garage as a waiting room.
He needed it not because of the icy weather descending that day, but because about 100 people showed up to tour the condos.

It seems to certainly be a sellers market, especially in hot areas of the city like Lincoln Park, Bucktown and Lakeview. Read the entire article here from Crain’s.
