The deal also underscores the strength of the DuPage County multifamily market—and its popularity with investors. Over the past year, several large apartment properties in the area have changed hands at high prices, including the Views of Naperville and Dwell at Naperville.
Landlords have the upper hand over tenants in the western suburbs, allowing them to hike rents and boost property values. Vantage is 100% occupied, and apartments there this year are renting for 18 to 19% more than they did during the initial lease-up, Zaransky said.
“There’s just not enough supply for the demand out there,” said Zaransky, founder and managing principal of Northbrook-based MZ Capital Partners. “Rent growth has been amazing.”
He declined to disclose how much the Vantage project cost to build but said, “we sold it for a nice profit.”
Known in Chicago as an owner of big downtown office buildings like the Old Post Office, the Aon Center and the Civic Opera Building, 601W has taken a liking to suburban apartments more recently. In November, the firm paid $86 million for Buckingham Place, a 267-unit property in northwest suburban Des Plaines.
Including the Naperville acquisition, 601W now owns nine multifamily properties overall, in the Atlanta; Miami; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; and Northern New Jersey markets, according to Real Capital Analytics, a New York-based research firm. The firm, which is based in suburban New York, has acquired most of the properties within the last two years
601W executives did not respond to requests for comment.
In a stroke of luck, Zaransky scored the construction financing for the Vantage project just before the coronavirus pandemic hit Chicago. The early months of construction were a bit nerve-wracking, but to Zaransky’s relief, the health crisis barely scratched the suburban apartment market. To the chagrin of tenants and the delight of landlords, the suburban market is as strong as it has ever been.
Zaransky marketed the Vantage to tenants who want to live in a high-end property but can’t afford high-end rents. By building small apartments—the average unit is just 459 square feet—he could charge lower rents without sacrificing profitability. The average Vantage apartment rents for about $1,200 per month, or $2.75 per square foot, Zaransky said.
Most tenants are single and many are millennials, with a few seniors mixed in, he said.
“We took a little bit of a leap of faith,” Zaransky said. “If you had to pick a market to do it in, I’d pick Naperville.”
Now, Zaransky is focused on projects in Tennessee and Buffalo Grove, where he plans to break ground on a 120-unit project by the end of the year. He’s also going through the approval process for a 140-unit development in Mundelein. He doesn’t see any reason to slow down.
“I don’t see any scary stuff on the horizon,” Zaransky said. Rising construction costs “have been an issue, but frankly rent growth has compensated for it.”
Jones Lang LaSalle brokered the sale to 601W.
With demand continuing to heavily outweigh supply now is a good time for vendors to consider selling their property, a new study shows.
According to data gathered from agents, properties brought onto the market last month were 115% more likely to sell than they were in the month of April from 2012-2021.
Propertymark, which carried out the research, the average number of properties for sale per member branch in April was 20. With very little movement in the number of properties available for purchase over the last year, numbers remain low compared to the long-run average for April of 42 (based on 2012-2021 figures, excluding 2020).
Demand remained high in April with 39% of respondents telling the trade body that most sales in April were agreed above the original asking price. The average number of new potential buyers registering at each member branch remained high at 100.
There were nine sales agreed on average per member branch in April compared to the December low of only five. This figure is lower than the peak during the stamp duty holiday of 2020–21 in which we saw highs of 14 sales per branch in one month; however, it is in line with the long-term average for April of eight (based on 2012–21 figures, excluding 2020).
The average percentage of stock sold in April over the past 10 years is 20 per cent, meaning one in five would sell per month (average eight sold with 42 available).
In April this year the figure was 43%, or two in five, which is a 115% increase in sales given the level of stock. This only reveals further that demand remains high. Even as supply is historically low, actual sales agreed remains at the long-term average.
Propertymark CEO, Nathan Emerson, said: “With less properties available to buy, it wouldn’t be illogical to assume that estate agents would be witnessing less sales being agreed.
“However, the number of sales agreed remains steady when compared with long term trends and agents report that sellers were 115% more likely to sell their home in April. This is due to the desire to buy a home remaining strong, and although the heights of prices being achieved may well start to cool, this trend is unlikely to change by a great deal.”

Relief is on the way for prospective home buyers who have been left out in the cold by rising prices, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association.
In its second-quarter update released Tuesday, the BCREA is forecasting prices to climb by another 21% in the Okanagan this year, then fall back to just a 1.6% increase in 2023.
The association is also forecasting the number of home sales to fall 19% on a year-over-year basis in 2022 and shrink another 14.8% in 2023.
Similar declines are forecast for the entire province with interest rates on the rise and expected to cool demand.
“After a strong first quarter, B.C. markets are now adjusting to a much different interest rate environment,” said BCREA chief economist Brendon Ogmundson in a press release.
“With mortgage rates surpassing 4% for the first time in over a decade, the housing market over the next two years may have very little resemblance to the housing market of the past year.
“On the supply side, we have begun to see active listings move off of record lows and re-sale inventories trend back toward balance. However, because inventories reached such low levels over the past year, the journey back to balance may take up to a year or more in some areas. As markets adjust to the new interest rate landscape, we anticipate that prices may be somewhat volatile but will ultimately flatten out through 2023.”

A realtor has urged Nigerians to invest in real estate without heisation because its benefits are invaluable.
In a discussion with the Commercial Executive at Ramos Realty, Samson Asenguah, he identified some of the benefits of investing in real estate in Nigeria and these include the fact that Nigeria, being one of the most populous countries in Africa, makes it one of the reasons why investing in real estate should be a viable venture as it is a huge market for untapped investments.
Asenguah disclosed that many people shy away from investing in real estate because they believe it requires huge capital to operate; however, it is possible to start on a small scale, adding that that real estate investment has several benefits and with the state of the country, investing in real estate is a sure way to make wealth.
He identified some of the benefits to include financial security, noting that although the pandemic affected a lot of things including the cost of importing building materials and the likes, real estate is not volatile like other businesses and the risks of losing your investment is not so high.
“This is one of the key benefit of becoming a real estate investor because you are assured of the safety of your investments. Real estate investors make their profits through property appreciation, rentals and gains gotten from activities related to the property,” he said.
On collateral assets, Asenguah said, “Collateral are valuables a lender accepts as a security for loan.Investing in real estates gives you the opportunity to loans at banks as your landed properties can be used as a security to get the loan approved. Having a collateral asset serves as a guarantee for the repayment of your loan for the banks.”
There has been an increase in the number of estate agents across the UK launching their own businesses in partnership with The Agency UK.
Agents are partnering with The Agency UK from both conventional estate agencies, as well as online and other brokerage models, with the agent keeping 80% of the fees they charge as part of the arrangement.
There are now 50 self-employed partner estate agents working with The Agency UK, with plenty of room for further growth.
Steph Walker at The Agency UK said: “We are delighted to welcome all of our newest partners, who are already becoming the go-to agents in their area for the offering they can provide sellers.
“I genuinely believe that our industry is starting to recognise and embrace the benefits of working for themselves. Whatever desires and ambitions you have, any motivated estate agent can achieve them here at The Agency UK.”
“For me, the real sweet spot is the benefits of a branded network and that special feeling you can only get from being a part of something bigger than yourself,” he added.
Nick Brown, who operates in Cornwall, recently celebrated one year in business with The Agency UK.
He said: “I joined The Agency UK from Countrywide. My previous role as a branch manager saw my days dealing with HR issues and filling out spreadsheets.
“Now not only have I had the chance to double my earnings year on year, but I am also back doing the job that I love. I know how to sell homes in Cornwall successfully, and The Agency UK know how to support my business in every other facet. Compared to the other self-employed models I looked at, not one came close to what The Agency UK could offer me.”
Estate agents are being encouraged to make the most of WhatsApp Business because it will, according to SMS Speedway, an omnichannel communications company, become fundamental to doing business in the property sector within the next two years.
The company has analysed statistics from Hootsuite, revealing that 2bn people globally use WhatsApp every month, meaning almost a third of the world’s population are using the popular app to send messages, images, video and to make calls.
Bradley Kieser, CEO of SMS Speedway, said: “What we’ve seen over the past few years is WhatsApp establishing its dominance in the messaging space and becoming people’s preferred platform.”
SMS Speedway, based in Cumbria, is releasing its newest offering, integrating their omnichannel communications services with WhatsApp Business and giving estate agents an opportunity to deliver their messages via the platform.
Kieser commented: “We’ve worked closely with the team at Facebook to ensure our WhatsApp Business integration is simple and straightforward to activate, meaning we can have our clients up and running with WhatsApp in a matter of minutes.”
Through their long standing relationships with market-leading CRM providers, SMS Speedway have also been able to pipe in WhatsApp Business messaging functionality into existing software meaning estate agents can continue using the platforms they are familiar with.
As part of the new product, all of SMS Speedway’s existing features are available on the platform including appointment reminders, auto-responders and their Advance Customer Engagement tools.
Additionally, the service is capable of sending a variety of media from images to stickers, PDFs to surveys and stickers to call to action buttons, plus if WhatsApp goes down, messages are routed via other channels to ensure the customer always gets the message.
Moving to the service also eliminates the need for agents to use their personal phones for communicating with clients via WhatsApp.
Kieser added: “This is a gamechanger for the property sector and we believe it will revolutionise communications with customers and within the agency – something we’ve been doing since 1994 when we launched the world’s first commercial text messaging service.
“Not only that, but because of our relationship with the CRMs, we’ve been able to create an integration that pushes all WhatsApp communications back into their system so customer service is never compromised and clients don’t lose track of their communications at any point.”
The home price data released today by the S&P CoreLogic Home Price Index represents the three-month average of closed home sales that were entered into public records in January, February, and March, reflecting deals that were agreed to a few weeks earlier, roughly in December, January, and February, funded with mortgages that were pre-approved before then, and had rate locks from when they were pre-approved.
These rate locks were based on interest rates in effect roughly from November into February, when the average 30-year fixed rate ranged from 3.2% to 4.2%, with the majority of the time being below 3.8% (green box in the chart). These are the rates that funded home purchases reflected in today’s home price index.
There have already been numerous indicators that the markets for existing home sales and new home sales have run into difficulties at the current holy-moly mortgage rates of over 5%, including sharply lower sales volume and rising inventories in existing homes and falling sales and record spiking inventories in new houses.
But the data by the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index released today and shown in the hair-raising charts below predate those changes in the market by several months and instead reflect the period when a mad scramble was going on to lock in a mortgage rate before it would spike further, and to buy a home, any home, at any price, before the rate lock from prior months would expire.
The overall National Case-Shiller Home Price Index for “March” released today (average of closed deals entered into public records in January, February, and March) spiked by 2.6% from the prior month and by a record 20.6% year-over-year.
San Diego metro: Prices of single-family houses spiked by 3.7% in “March” (average of January, February, March) from the prior month, and 29.6% year-over-year. The index value of 417 means that home prices exploded by 317% since January 2000, when the index was set at 100.
This price growth amounts to 4.5 times the rate of CPI inflation (+70.3%) since 2000. This majestic spike since January 2000, despite the plunge in between, anoints San Diego the Number 1 most splendid housing bubble on this list, followed closely by Los Angeles (+310%) and the incredibly spiking mania in Seattle (+301%):
All charts here are on the same index scale as San Diego.
Los Angeles metro: The Case-Shiller index spiked by 3.3% in March from February and by 23.2% year-over-year. With an index value of 410, house prices exploded by 310% since January 2000, despite the plunge in the middle, crowning the Los Angeles metro the Number 2 most splendid housing bubble on this list:
Seattle metro: House prices spiked by a holy-moly 5.6% for the month, bringing the two-month spike to a good-lordy 10.2%. Year-over-year, the index spiked by 27.7%. Since January 2000, house prices spiked by 302%, 4.3 times the rate of CPI inflation:
The Case-Shiller Index is based on the “sales pairs” method, comparing the price of a house when it sells in the current period to the price when it sold previously. It tracks how many dollars it took to buy the same house over time (methodology). The index incorporates adjustments for home improvements. By measuring the purchasing power of the dollar to buy the same house, the index is a measure of house price inflation.
San Francisco Bay Area (five-counties including San Francisco, part of Silicon Valley, part of the East Bay, and part of the North Bay): House prices spiked 4.3% for the month, and by 24.1% year-over-year:
Miami metro: The index spiked 3.6% for the month, and 32.0% year-over-year, the fastest since November 2005, near the apex of the Housing Bubble 1, before the epic Housing Bust:
Tampa metro: House prices spiked by 3.7% for the month, and by 34.8% year-over-year, a record spike in the Tampa metro, out-spiking with ease the crazy spikes just before the Tampa’s epic housing bust:
Phoenix metro: House prices spiked 3.0% for the month, and by 32.4% year-over-year, just a tad below the record year-over-year spike in the prior month, and the ninth month in a row of over-30% year-over-year spikes:
Portland metro: +2.9% for the month, and +19.3% year-over-year:
Boston metro: +2.6% for the month, and +14.5% year-over-year:
Washington D.C. metro: +2.9% for the month, and +12.9% year-over-year:
Denver metro: +4.5% for the month, and +23.7% year-over-year:
Las Vegas metro: +3.1% for the month, and +28.5% year-over-year:
Dallas metro: +4.3% for the month, and a record +30.7% year-over-year:
New York metro (a vast market within commuting distance to New York City that Case-Shiller calls “New York Commuter”): +1.6% for the month, and +13.7% year-over-year. At an index value of 263, the metro has experienced 163% house price inflation since January 2000, 2.3 times the rate of CPI inflation.
The remaining metros in the 20-metro Case-Shiller Index – Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Minneapolis – all have experienced substantial house price inflation since 2000, but it doesn’t quite measure up to these most splendid housing bubbles here, and so they didn’t qualify for this illustrious list.

The chance of a vendor selling a property is at its highest level for a decade, research claims.
The continuing imbalance between supply and demand meant that properties sold faster and more easily in April.
Propertymark’s latest member data showed that while the average percentage of stock sold in April over the past 10 years is 20%, it hit 43% this year – a 115% rise.
The trade body’s Housing Market Report found there were nine sales agreed on average per member branch in April compared to the December low of only five.
This figure is lower than the peak of 14 sales per branch during the stamp duty holiday of 2020–21.
However, Propertymark said it is in line with the long-term average for April of eight sales per member branch.
The average number of properties for sale per member branch remained low in April at 20, while demand remained high at 100 house hunters per branch.
This contributed to 39% of respondents stating that most sales agreed in April were above asking price, according to the report.
Nathan Emerson, chief executive of Propertymark, said: “With fewer properties available to buy, it wouldn’t be illogical to assume that estate agents would be witnessing less sales being agreed.
“However, the number of sales agreed remains steady when compared with long term trends and agents report that sellers were 115% more likely to sell their home in April.
“This is due to the desire to buy a home remaining strong, and although the heights of prices being achieved may well start to cool, this trend is unlikely to change by a great deal.”
