Luxury home sales continued to pump the brakes this week, as the five priciest properties collecting a mere $7.9 million combined.

The year started off strong, with the top homes selling for a combined $12.1 million during the first week of January, followed by a combined $10.5 million last week.

All five of this week’s priciest homes are located on the North Side. The top four are single-family homes, only one of which exceeded the $2 million mark.

Price and property details were found on Redfin, from Jan. 17 to 24.

3644 N. Bosworth Ave. | $2.14 million | Lakeview
Whoever shelled out more than $2.1 million for this new five-bedroom house will be the first to live in it. The home is located in family-friendly Southport Corridor and as such has plenty of outdoor space, including a back patio, a wood burning fireplace and garage rooftop deck. Rena Trapani of Dream Town Realty had the listing. Compass broker Jill Silverstein represented the buyer. The seller paid $725,000 to acquire the property in 2018, according to property records.
