Crib Chatter

Due to a family emergency, there won’t be any Crib Chatter this week. Hug the ones you love. See you next week- Sabrina

It’s time for a break. Plenty is going on but some properties are selling so fast I don’t have time to crib on them. Downtown is still slower, though, which is why the blog is focusing on those neighborhoods right now. Once the weather gets better, I’ll head out for some new pictures of new […]

It’s time for some fun in the sun, although with summer weather in Chicago, who needs to leave? But it’s time to sit on the beach. This is a good time to get away as Chicago’s real estate market is very tight this spring. Inventory remains near record lows. There’s not a lot of cool […]

I need a break so Crib Chatter will be on vacation this week. I’ll check into the comments so please be kind to each other. There’s a lot going on in Chicago real estate right now. I’m looking forward to doing updates on all the new construction going on. There are closings going on on […]

I will attempt to join the rest of America out partying on the beach this week. Palm trees, here I come. The Chicago housing market remains red hot with properties going under contract within days of listing. Even with the pandemic and the looting/rioting downtown, even downtown condos are back selling again. I’m looking forward […]

It’s time to take some time off. With COVID outbreaks happening all across the country, I’m doing a staycation this week. This is the reality of 2020. These palm trees in the Gold Coast were the closest I got to seeing the real deal this year. Kudos to the gardener at this building who goes […]

Chatterers and lovers of Chicago housing: It’s summer and it’s time to go on vacation. Alas, due to COVID-19, I won’t be traveling to the Caribbean this year and, given the outbreaks in states along the Gulf Coast, which have lovely beaches, I won’t be traveling there either. Looks like Galena for me. See you […]

The beach is calling once again. As usual, please try and refrain from calling each other names while I’m gone. Although most of you have been pretty civil this year. That must mean the housing market is boring. Lol. The rest of this year, one of the big stories will be all the luxury condos […]

It’s time for some time off. And just in time for the housing slowdown, it appears. There are lots of properties still on the market from the spring and summer so I’ll be covering many of those when I return. But there will be a lot of questions for those sellers: What if they don’t […]

It’s time to go to the beach even though we haven’t had any winter. But who knew when I booked this trip 6 months ago? If anyone else is going to be in Aruba, I’ll see you by the pool and that lovely beach. As always, please talk among yourselves. There’s a lot going on […]
