Near North Side dominates Chicago’s 5 priciest resi listings

The priciest home listed last week was also on the market last summer, and has not dropped its asking price

The owner of a Gilded Age mansion has put his home back on the market, hoping to find a buyer theGold Coast residence.

The home at 1521 North State Parkway — now selling for $10.3 million — was the priciest of the top five new residential listings in Chicago last week.

Collectively, last week’s top five are seeking over $25 million. Two of the homes are single-family — both in the Gold Coast — while the three others are for Near North Side condo units.

Like a lot of luxury listings, the owner of the home AT 1521 North State, is giving it a second go, in an effort to cut through the glut of high-end inventory.

Chicago’s Downtown condo sector has been propelling the local luxury market, but much of that success has been limited to new construction condo buildings. Condo resales, like single-family home sales, are having a rougher time.
