River North 2BR Condos Are Selling 21.5 Days Faster Than Last Year

Over the trailing 12 months, River North two-bedroom highrise condos carried a median market time of 31 days, down from 52.5 days in the prior 12-month period — a 21.5-day decrease.

The Number That Moved

In River North, two-bedroom highrise condos had a median market time of 31 days over the trailing 12 months. In the prior 12-month period, that same group of homes had a median market time of 52.5 days. The difference is a 21.5-day drop in how long these condos typically sat on the market before going under contract.

How Big Is This Swing, Really

That 21.5-day decrease is the largest year-over-year swing among neighborhoods with adequate sample size to measure this kind of comparison reliably. That framing matters: it's a relative ranking among neighborhoods that had enough transactions to support the comparison, not a downtown-wide claim about market time generally. Other downtown neighborhoods moved by smaller amounts over the same two 12-month windows, and this finding doesn't speak to what happened in any of them.

What Faster Market Time Actually Means Here

A shorter median market time means that, within this specific pool of River North two-bedroom highrise condos, buyers moved from listing to contract more quickly over the trailing 12 months than they did a year earlier. That's a demand-and-absorption signal for this particular condo type in this particular neighborhood — homes of this description found buyers faster. The finding doesn't identify what caused that shift, and no pricing, inventory, or interest-rate explanation is attached to it here.

Where This Sits in the Bigger River North Picture

This 21.5-day shift is specific to two-bedroom highrise condos in River North, measured across these two named 12-month windows. It shouldn't be read as a statement about River North studios, one-bedrooms, three-bedrooms, low-rise or vintage buildings, or any other downtown condo neighborhood — each of those would need its own finding before a comparable claim could be made about it.
