It’s no secret that the Chicago luxury market suffered through a difficult 2019.

If the beginning of 2020 is any indication, the market may be rebounding. The five priciest homes that sold in the first week totaled $12.1 million, which was 25 percent more than the previous week’s $9.1 million.

Also, all five homes traded for more than $1.5 million apiece, something that hadn’t happened since mid-December.

Condos dominate the current list. The top four properties are units on the Near North Side, including three located along the Chicago River. Rounding out the list is a house in Logan Square that has a total of 15 bedrooms.

Price and property details were found from Redfin, from Jan. 3 to 10.
