@properties Christie’s International Real Estate Dominates 2021 Chicagoland Luxury Sales

Single-family home sales across the Chicago area set records in 2021, and @properties Christie’s International Real Estate led the way, listing all of the top five highest-priced single-family home closings in the region.

The top five single-family home sales were:

1. 1950 N. Burling St., Chicago – $12,550,000

2. 1866 N. Howe St., Chicago – $9,500,000

3. 233 Sheridan Rd., Kenilworth – $9,450,000

4. 607 Longwood Ave., Glencoe – $8,680,000

5. 711 Locust St., Winnetka – $8,000,000

Additionally, @properties Christie’s International Real Estate listed five more homes among the top 20 highest-priced single-family sales:

11. 2112 N. Sedgwick St., Chicago – $6,500,000

12. 2135 N. Kenmore Ave., Chicago – $6,300,000

19: 2043 N. Clifton Ave., Chicago – $5,375,000

Only one other brokerage firm had multiple listings (3) among the Top 20 sales, illustrating @properties Christie’s International Real Estate’s dominance in Chicago’s high-end residential market.

“It’s an honor to have represented all of the top five highest-priced home sales in Chicagoland over the past year, and we thank our clients for entrusting @properties Christie’s International Real Estate agents to handle the sale of their homes,” said Mike Golden, co-founder and co-CEO of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate. “With agents who truly understand the needs of a luxury home seller, sophisticated marketing and technology, and unmatched local market expertise, we provide the industry’s ultimate experience for our clients.”

@properties’ acquisition of Christie’s International Real Estate in late 2021 reinforced the brokerage’s position in Chicago’s luxury market, marrying the local market leader with one of the most recognized luxury real estate brands in the world.

2021 was an unusually robust year for luxury home sales around the country, with low housing inventory and prices at all-time highs in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and low mortgage rates. Locally, home prices finished 2021 with their eighth consecutive month of double-digit percentage increases, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices. Chicagoland median single-family home values rose more than 12% in December, compared to the same period in 2020.
