<p><strong>Bronzeville Single Family Homes</strong></p>
<p>   Bronzeville Single Family Homes sold well in 2019.<br />
   A total of 112 homes were sold.  This is up 33% versus 2018.<br />
   The average selling price for a single family home was $486,975.<br />
   The average selling price was up 18% versus the previous year.<br />
   The average market time increased by 23 days versus the previous year. </p>
<p><strong>Bronzeville Condos</strong></p>
<p>   Bronzeville Condos also sold well in 2019.<br />
   A total of 272 condos were sold.  This is up 12% versus 2018.<br />
   The average selling price for a Bronzeville condo was $199,455.<br />
   The average selling price was up 5% versus the previous year.<br />
   The average market time decreased by 4 days versus the previous year. </p>
<p><strong>Bronzeville 2 to 4 unit buildings</strong></p>
<p>   39 multi-unit properties were sold in 2019.<br />
   That is an 8% increase versus 2018.<br />
   The average selling price was $341,995.<br />
   The average selling price was up 15% versus the previous year.<br />
   The average market time decreased by 73 days versus the previous year.    </p>
<p><strong>Bronzeville Rentals</strong></p>
<p>   244 units were rented in 2019.<br />
   That is a 24% increase versus 2018.<br />
   The average rental price was $1,530.<br />
   The average rental price was actually down 4% versus the previous year.<br />
   The average market time increased by 5 days versus the previous year. </p>
<p><strong>Bronzeville Land</strong></p>
<p>   19 parcels of land were sold in 2019.<br />
   That is a 27% decrease versus 2018.<br />
   The average selling price was $90,289.<br />
   The average selling price decreased by -44% versus 2018.<br />
   However, this may not be an apples to apples comparison.<br />
   This is because every parcel of land is a different size.<br />
   Land value is driven largely by location, square footage and zoning type.</p>
<p><strong>Summary </strong></p>
<p>Overall, 2019 was a great year for Bronzeville real estate.<br />
The biggest gains were seen in the Single Family Home category.<br />
Values for Single family homes were up 18% in 2019.<br />
This was driven largely by sales of new construction homes.</p>
<p>Multi-Unit properties also appear to be in great demand.<br />
Values are up 15% versus the previous year.<br />
Also, the average time it took to sell a multi-unit property was<br />
cut in half versus 2018.<br />
This is an indication that demand for this property type is high.</p>

<p>Hello to all my blog readers out there!<br />
Sorry I haven&#8217;t posted in a while.<br />
I have been busy finding tenants for property owners.<br />
But that is no excuse&#8230;<br />
I have to find more time to give my readers the best FREE<br />
information that money can buy.  <img src='https://markkillion.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well the spring Real Estate season is in full bloom.<br />
I am seeing a lot of activity in the Bronzeville<br />
Chicago neighborhood.<br />
If you are thinking about buying or selling real estate<br />
in Bronzeville, now is the time!</p>
<p><b> Here is a quick update on Bronzeville Single Family Homes: </b></p>
<p>As of May-20-2012, 26 single family homes have been sold Year To Date.<br />
So the area is selling about 5 homes per month.<br />
This number will probably increase as we enter the<br />
busy summer selling season.</p>
<p><strong>The average selling price was about $187,000.</strong><br />
The average home had about 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.<br />
The average selling price, per square foot,<br />
for homes in good condition, was about $90.</p>
<p>Sales prices ranged from $27,000 all the way up to $575,000.<br />
Prices are tied closely to the condition and square footage of the home.<br />
Low end properties frequently require gut rehabs.<br />
High end properties have been completely renovated.<br />
Everything else falls somewhere in between. </p>
<p>Distressed sales now make up most of the market.<br />
Out the 26 homes that were sold, only 10 were traditional sales.<br />
So Bronzeville short sales and foreclosures now make up 60% of the market.<br />
I expect this trend to continue for the next few years. </p>
<p>Hopefully you found this information useful.<br />
If you have any questions, please let me know.<br />
Also, please feel free to leave me a comment.<br />
I read each comment I receive. </p>
<p>Until the next time, </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> The Gospel Fest is coming to Bronzeville </strong></p>
<p><a href='http://www.773property.com' title='Chicago Gospel Fest - Bronzeville'><img src='http://markkillion.com/chicago_gospel_fest.jpg' alt='Chicago Gospel Fest - Bronzeville' ></a> </p>
<p>This summer, Bronzeville residents are in for a real treat.<br />
The Gospel Fest will be held right in their own backyard.<br />
The Gospel Fest used to be downtown.  Last year, the popular<br />
festival was combined with the Taste of Chicago. </p>
<p>However, in 2012, there will be several changes with<br />
the summer festivals. For one, the Taste of Chicago<br />
has been cut down to only 5 days. The Taste will now be held<br />
in late July. This means it will no longer include the 4th of July. </p>
<p>The Gospel Fest will be held in several locations, but<br />
the main stage events will be in Bronzeville on the weekend<br />
of June 23rd and June 24th.  It will be near 37th and<br />
South Martin Luther King Dr.  This should be a great event. </p>
<p><a href='http://www.773property.com' title='Bronzeville - Chicago'><img src='http://markkillion.com/bronzeville_overpass1.jpg' alt='Bronzeville - Chicago' ></a> </p>
<p>It should bring thousands of visitors to the Bronzeville area.<br />
This should be great for local stores and restaurants.<br />
It may even stir up some curiousity about the local real estate<br />
market in Bronzeville (fingers crossed).<br />
Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>Until the next time, </p>

<p>Ida B. Wells was a social reformer and a social activist.<br />
She was also a journalist that wrote countless articles<br />
that condemned racism. She lived from 1862 to 1931. </p>
<p>Ida B. Wells lived in Bronzeville.  She lived in a greystone<br />
near 36th and King Drive. Her home is now a National Landmark.  </p>
<p><a href='http://markkillion.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ida_b_wells_house.JPG' title='Ida B. Wells Home in Bronzeville'><img src='http://markkillion.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ida_b_wells_house.JPG' alt='Ida B. Wells Home in Bronzeville' /></a></p>
<p>There is a movement to have a statue erected in her honor.<br />
If this movement is successful, her statue will probably reside<br />
somewhere on King Drive near her old home. </p>
<p>Ida B. Wells dedicated her life to the fight for justice and equality<br />
for African Americans.  I can&#8217;t think of anyone more deserving of<br />
a statue in Bronzeville.  Will she get one? Stay Tuned&#8230;</p>
