Evanston Real Estate

Evanston Real Estate is still limping forward. Effective June 2010... Yes, limping, but going forward.

We haven't seen a huge drop in sales, since the loss of the first time home buyer's credit, but we have seen the drop in interest that we typically associate with summer's approach.

I thought I'd list the low and the high of what's currently available, here in Evanston.

The lowest priced condominium is at 126 Callan (left), marketed by Leslie Brock, of Keller Williams, for only $46,000 and currently under contract. Nice job Leslie. It's a 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo (no surprise) in a recently rehabbed building, with exposed brick wall, redone kitchen with granite and redone bath, and it is a short-sale.

The higest prices condo, currently available in Evanston Real Estate, is a relatively new construction condo, at 817 Hinman, unit 5E. Listed with Patricia Gordon, of Rubloff Real Estate for $1,750,000. The building was built in 2005 by Torvik Associates (architects), located right here in Evanston.

Yes, that sounds like a lot of money, but it's a 3-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath 2-story penthouse, only blocks to the lake front, and with 2 private balconies, a private top floor desk, with pergola... custom millwork, Brazillian hardwood and 2-car heated garage. See the photo of the 2-story living room... feels just like you're in downtown Chicago.

Okay, let's switch gears to Single-family homes in Evanston Real Estate.. the least expensive home, currently for sale, here in Evanston Real Estate is 2123 Darrow. Listed by David Piché of Remax for $49,000, it is understandably already under contract. It's a 4 bedroom, 2.1 bath home, and is bank owned.

The current top-end of the Evanston Real Estate market, in single family homes is 586 Ingleside... marketed by Bradford Browne and Michael Brennan, of Coldwell Banker, for a mere $3,295,000, this home boasts 5-bedrooms and 4.1 baths, and an association with Daniel Boone. That's right this home was build for some of Dan'l's descendants, and has a "den" that he would love... with wood paneling, and animal heads mounted on the walls... it also has 4 fireplaces, a sweeping staircase and is only steps to lake Michigan.

That wraps up the top and the bottom of Evanston Real Estate.
