http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/Will_two_bedroom_condos_appreciate_more_and_sell_b-53760chicago? hear a lot of people say they are buying a two bedroom condo since they are more in demand. However, I would rather have a 1 Br with a better floor plan rather than cram a second bedroom into a condo that is just barely bigger than the one bedroom. What are your thoughts on this? From my experience 1Br sell out faster in new developments whether it be price point or some other cause. Basically my question comes down to is it really easier to sell a 2Br condo in Chicago rather than a 1Br?en-ushttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Chicago_IL-290207/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Chicago_IL-290207/The Gold Coast and River North will ALWAYS have a extraordinary amount of demand for 1 bedrooms as compared to other areas. I have seen turn around times for 2 bedrooms go up dramatically because so many of them were bought as investments or by people who- at the time- appreciated the extra bedroom. Now with the market the way it is, 1 bedrooms with solid square footage and upgrades are still selling in under 120 days which is very rare for anything right now.Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:08:32 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Venice_FL-133970/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Venice_FL-133970/Ryan, Two bed room units not only offer more square footage but they provide greater versitility. One common thread with most condos is the issue of storage space.....there never seems to be enough. It is our experience that 2 bed room units are in higher demand then 1 bed room units, hold their value better, and are easier to sell.

In the suburbs, it is different. In the city, the demographics warrant one bedrooms. And a lot of people agree with you on the fact that they would rather have a comfortable one bedroom than a cramped two bedroom. Some one bedrooms are larger in square footage than some two bedrooms. As a Streeterville resident for 11 years and a Real Estate Broker, I can tell you, I love my one bedroom condo. I look at 2 bedrooms all the time and I can't justify paying an extra $50 - 80K for an additional 10 x 10 room (if that)....My best piece of advice is...Buy a place you feel at home in. Don't worry too much about resale at the time of purchase especially if you plan on being there for a while.Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:19:37 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Oswego_IL-193002/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Oswego_IL-193002/Ryan, My opinion is that it will always be easier to sell at 2 bedrooms.Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:35:27 -0700
