Jameson Realty Group:
SOUTH OF $250,000-WIDE RANGE OF CHOICES FOR BUDGET-MINDED BUYERS
CHICAGO-Budget-minded first-time home shoppers hunting for an affordably priced new or renovated condominium should take a tour of several projects being marketed by Jameson Realty Group.
Jameson has a myriad of affordably priced new-construction and rehabbed condominiums available to those seeking to move into a new home. From condos in newly constructed 3 flats and high-rises to charming vintage units in courtyard buildings, there are dozens of condominiums priced under $250,000.
Many are found in North Side neighborhoods including Albany Park, Andersonville, Edgewater, Margate Park and Rogers Park. There are also affordably priced condos available in the hot South Loop neighborhood.
"You don't need to drain your savings to buy a condominium in Chicago," said Charles Huzenis, president of Jameson Realty Group. "There are plenty of units on the market priced around $250,000 or less-some as low as $169,900-and many of them are available for immediate occupancy."
If you buy a condo priced at $250,000 or less, you may end up owning a home for about the same price you're paying for monthly rent, but you would also be building up equity," he added.
"One of the best things about these affordable residences is that they have many of the amenities found in more expensive developments-hardwood floors, granite kitchen countertops and stainless steel appliances," Huzenis said. "All are
typically included in the purchase price."
The affordable market isn't just for first-time buyers leaving their rental apartments. Empty-nesters are also returning to the city and looking for something affordable, Huzenis said.
"We're seeing more and more empty-nesters returning to the city after raising their families out in the suburbs," he said.
