Chicago real estate 2007

Here's an overview type piece from the Sun-Times. Some interesting commentary beyond merely buys/sells...a strong residential rental market and weak condo conversions in the Loop. I thought Bill NcNamee, Illinois Association of Mortgage Brokers, had good comments...first half of '07 is about clearing inventory and second half is about heating up the market again.

Side note, kudos to the Sun-Times, I think their real estate industry coverage has improved greatly of late.
