I found a specific solution for extending the ObservableCollection class to one that monitors changes in the properties of the objects it contains here.

Here's that code with a few modifications by me:

namespace Solution
{
public class ObservableCollectionEx : ObservableCollection where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        protected override void OnCollectionChanged(NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e != null)  // There's been an addition or removal of items from the Collection
            {
                Unsubscribe(e.OldItems);
                Subscribe(e.NewItems);
                base.OnCollectionChanged(e);
            }
            else
            {
                // Just a property has changed, so reset the Collection.
                base.OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset));

            }

        }

        protected override void ClearItems()
        {
            foreach (T element in this)
                element.PropertyChanged -= ContainedElementChanged;

            base.ClearItems();
        }

        private void Subscribe(IList iList)
        {
            if (iList != null)
            {
                foreach (T element in iList)
                    element.PropertyChanged += ContainedElementChanged;
            }
        }

        private void Unsubscribe(IList iList)
        {
            if (iList != null)
            {
                foreach (T element in iList)
                    element.PropertyChanged -= ContainedElementChanged;
            }
        }

        private void ContainedElementChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            OnPropertyChanged(e);
            // Tell the Collection that the property has changed
            this.OnCollectionChanged(null);

        }
    }
}
