DPAM Debuts New Location in Lincoln Park, Attracts Interested Home Owners

Lindsey Anderson — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:50:50 +0000

For years students and art lovers interested in checking out the DePaul Art Museum (DPAM) collection were forced to suffer the low ceilings and small, cramped rooms of the Richardson Library’s exhibition space in the Loop. Last month, however, DPAM moved its collection to a new, improved location at 935 W. Fullerton Avenue. The new exhibition space features high ceilings, filtered light and nearly twice as much square footage as the Richardson Library. “I imagine that I’ll be coming far more often,” Logan Square resident Andy Bolduc said when asked about the museum’s new home. “It’s only a short bus ride away from my apartment, and it’s literally steps away from the Fullerton Red Line stop. Its location is unbeatable, and its collection is better than ever.” But Bolduc isn’t the only one who intends to start visiting DPAM and its Lincoln Park neighborhood more often. Other arty types have been moving to Lincoln Park in greater and greater numbers in recent years, and there’s no doubt that more of them will be moving in, now that another art museum has been added to the neighborhood. Houses and condos have been selling particularly well in busy, artistically inclined areas of the neighborhood, like the intersection of Lincoln Avenue, Fullerton Avenue, and Halstead Street, where classy condos and stately single-family homes tend to cluster in the greatest numbers. Listings like this one, found on the CondoDomain blog, have been selling like hotcakes lately, and real estate experts expect them to continue to do well as long as Lincoln Park maintains its charming, arty, intellectual character.

Who Will be the next Chicago Housing Authority Chief?

Lindsey Anderson — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:11:10 +0000

According to The Chicago Tribune, “Mayor Rahm Emanuel is down to two candidates for the top post at the Chicago Housing Authority, a job whose chief concern will be dealing with a stubbornly anemic real estate market that has hampered efforts to create vibrant mixed-income developments where crime-ridden high-rises once stood.” “Those developments are the linchpin in the CHA’s $1.6 billion Plan for Transformation, launched in 1999 and now expected to be completed by 2015, five years past the original target date.” Earlier this year, the former Chicago Housing Authority, Chief Lewis Jordan was forced to resign when a controversy arose over his use of his agency credit card. Shortly afterward, Emanuel offered Chicagoans a list of four potential replacements, and that list has since dwindled to two exceptionally qualified candidates (though he refuses to acknowledge who those candidates are). Regardless of who Emanuel ultimately selects to helm the Chicago Housing Authority, we can safely assume that the next chief will do his or her best to help encouraged real estate growth in Chicago. In the past, the Chicago Housing Authority has been particularly interested in improving mixed-income developments, and in all likelihood, the Authority will continue its endeavors to improve the quality of life in these mixed income neighborhoods. The Authority has also focused on attracting middle-class couples and families to Chicago’s various neighborhoods, and it will likely continue to focus on this crucial demographic in the future. According to the Chicago Housing Authority Chairman, “One of the big issues in public housing has always been that it’s just a concentration of poor folks, and what kind of models are the young people seeing? As they’re in (the mixed-income developments) and they see people getting up and going to work and they see people pursuing a career, they see people pursuing goals, that’s a vision that sticks and stays with them.” We can only hope that the next Housing Authority chief will be more successful than his predecessor!

Stock Market Slump Affects Real Estate Prices

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:19:53 +0000

In spite of a small gain earlier this week, the stock market is still suffering, and many real estate experts are beginning to wonder whether or not this economic downturn will make the real estate market worse. Among them is the real estate reporter A.D Pruitt. According to Pruitt “Commercial real estate could be losing its appeal as a safe-haven investment given the market turmoil and constrained bank financing.” Pruitt believes that “The stock market performance of real estate investment trusts, while still healthy, is down from a two-year hot streak.” And Pruitt isn’t the only one who’s worried. Bob O’Brien, the vice president of a real estate company, also believes that there’s currently cause for concern. “The uncertainty impacting the overall economy and other industries has had less of an effect on the real estate industry,” he says. “At the same time, the wall of debt maturity that will come due between now and 2015 still may present short and longer term challenges for the remainder of this year and into 2012.” The report, according to Pruitt, also noted “That subdued consumer spending, reduced federal spending, slow job growth and a weak housing market threaten to delay the recovery. After hitting a bottom in March 2009, commercial real estate has been on a steady ascent because investors were confident a brutal downturn was behind the market, and that landlords would be able to start raising rents and occupancy rates amid an economic recovery.” It remains to be seen how, exactly, this economic downturn will affect the real estate market in Chicago. In all likelihood, though, Chicago will remain a buyer’s market for the time being, home owners may find that their homes will appreciate in value more slowly than in years past, and renters may be forced to negotiate higher rates.

Don’t Flip Out: House Flipping Trendy in Chicago

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:00:28 +0000

With few job prospects available to them, many people have begun to pursue more and more unusual career paths to make ends meet. One Illinois woman has actually taken to “flipping” houses for a living. Cynthia Block, of Knoxville, Illinois, has created a career for herself buying up old homes, remodeling them, and selling them at a profit. According to a reporter for the CarmiTimes, “Despite having a master’s degree in business administration from Regis University in Denver, Cynthia Block returned to the area two years ago from Cincinnati and found a tight job market which, for her, included no job opportunities. She decided to turn what she did as a hobby for friends in the Cincinnati/northern Kentucky area into a career.” “Block, the daughter of former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture John ‘Jack’ Block, began flipping houses—buying houses at a low price, having them remodeled and selling them for a profit. Block decided to add a twist, developing designer houses using her own concepts. It was the design work that she did previously as a hobby.” Block isn’t the only one to make a living this way, though. House flipping has become increasingly common, particularly in large cities like Chicago, where many older homes can be bought at a reduced price. The house flippers who buy up houses in up-and-coming Chicago neighborhoods, like Pilsen and Logan Square, are often able to make quite a lot of money on each piece of property they purchase. And although the people who buy the homes they have flipped pay for these improvements, they often pay less than they would for a new construction. In this sense, the situation is win-win for both parties!

Buying a Condo May Be Less Expensive then Renting On-Campus Housing

Lindsey Anderson — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 14:00:44 +0000

Do you remember your first college dorm room? Did you live in a cramped crawl space on campus with one, two, or even three other students? Did you learn to sleep through loud music and lots of noise on a nightly basis? Or, did you sleep soundly in a condo of your very own? If you’re like most of us, you probably slept on campus, in a dorm, during your first year of college. But nowadays, as the real estate market in Chicago continues to remain depressed, more and more parents are opting to buy their kids condos, rather than put them up in college subsidized housing. According to Jeffrey Steele, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, that’s exactly what Tamara Harney did for her 18-year-old son, Patrick, when he enrolled at Columbia College a few months ago. Harney, Steele notes, “could pony up for dorm room and board fees or buy a condo.” In fact, “Patrick’s decision to stay in the South Loop year-round made the decision easy.” Harney believes, and not entirely unreasonably, that she’ll actually save money in the long run by purchasing a condo, rather than pouring money into campus housing. “It’s cheaper to purchase a condo,” she says. “We figured that with three boys living there, it will pay for the housing expenses, plus we’ll build equity for when we sell it. We’re not dumping money into (on-campus) housing.” Harney and many others like her are taking advantage of the buyer’s market predominant in Chicago at the moment by purchasing, rather than renting, housing for their children. Parents like Harney believe that the pros associated with their investments—pros which include tax deductions, asset appreciation, and equity—outweigh any cons.

To Buy or Not to Buy, That is the Question

Lindsey Anderson — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:20:37 +0000

Les Christie, a writer for CNNMoney, reports that “Home prices have taken such a beating and demand for rental units has increased so much that it’s now cheaper to buy a two-bedroom home than to rent one in most major U.S. cities. “According to real estate website Trulia, buying was cheaper than renting in 74% of the country’s 50 largest cities in July. In just 12% of the cities, including New York, Seattle and San Francisco, renting was cheaper. In the remaining 14% of cities, renting was less expensive but close to the cost of buying.” These national trends certain reflect the real estate market in Chicago, where the price tags attached to houses and condos are becoming more and more manageable, while the price tags attached to apartments have remained more or less the same for several years. If anything, rental prices seem to be increasing somewhat while buying prices decrease dramatically. Christie insists, though, that the relatively low cost of buying a house or condo in a city like ours isn’t the only reason to purchase a home right now: “In addition to a continuing decline in home prices, rock-bottom interest rates have added a lot of weight to the buy side of the scale. The overnight average rate for a 30-year fixed was just 4.19% on Monday, according to Bankrate.com. A 15-year fixed averaged just 3.43%.” “Add in the tax perks of home ownership and for those who can afford it (and who can actually qualify for a loan), it certainly is a buyer’s market.” If you’re still unsure of whether you’d rather rent or buy after reading through Christie’s research, however, consider checking out this article, which digs deep into the make-up of the Chicago real estate market at the moment.

Suburbanites Say No to Oak Park Skyscraper

Lindsey Anderson — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:40:19 +0000

Oak Park, the Chicago suburb that is well known amongst Chicagoans for its abundance of Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings, has been receiving a lot of attention lately for another reason entirely. The Chicago-based development firm, Sertus Capital Partners, has recently announced its intention to build a 20-story glass and steel skyscraper in Oak Park. The building, if it is built according to the design presented by Sertus Capital Partners, will become the tallest in Oak Park. But many residents of the suburb believe that the building would negatively impact economic development in Oak Park. And many more of them believe that the building would be a bit of an eye sore—it would, after all, dominate the surrounding landscape, and it would probably look out of place in a small, sleepy suburb like Oak Park. What’s more, some residents say that it would also look out of place, when juxtaposed with the Wright-designed buildings that currently contribute to Oak Park’s status as a desirable place to live.
