Everyone seemed to enjoy the YouTube video which highlighted this vintage Bucktown cottage at 2343 W. Moffat when we chattered about it in February 2009. See our prior chatter, pictures and the video link here. It closed in early April for $137,900 under the original list price. Is the new price norm for a small […]
Large private terraces are big selling points for many condo units and this one attached to a top floor 2-bedroom unit at 936 W. Madison in the heart of the West Loop fits the bill. There’s no one above you (so no cigarette butts or errant cheeseburgers raining down on your head) and it looks like […]
This bank-owned 2-bedroom loft just came on the market at 900 N. Kingsbury in River North. It is priced $115,100 under the 2003 purchase price. It appears that parking is not included in the current price (but was included in the 2003 sale.) It is the cheapest 2/2 in the building and is cheaper than several […]
We chattered recently about a foreclosed rowhouse in West Garfield Park but foreclosures abound in both West and East Garfield Park. This bank-owned 1893 vintage 4-flat at 3231 W. Fulton Blvd. in East Garfield Park has been on the market since November 2008 with several reductions. $4741 It has recently gone under contract and is […]
We chattered about this 2000 square foot townhouse at 2325 N. Wayne in Lincoln Park in February 2009. See our prior chatter here. You can see pictures of similar townhouses in the Lakewood Commons community in our earlier chatter here. This townhouse looked similar to the others in the prior post. There was a den on […]
We’ve chattered about The Hermitage at 70 W. Huron in River North before. Built in the mid-1990s, it is among the older of the River North highrises. This 1-bedroom came on the market in February and has already reduced twice. From the Craigslist ad: Accepting all offers! Seller has run into a situation and MUST […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit with views of Lake Michigan at 3520 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview in February 2009. At that time, it had gone under contract within a week of being listed. See our prior chatter and pictures here. Unfortunately, none of you took any guesses at the ultimate […]
We last chattered about this 1000-square foot 2-bedroom unit at 636 W. Waveland in March. See our prior chatter here. It has now been reduced by $15,000. Or so the listing says. Except that the parking spot which before was available for $15,000 is now available for $30,000. March 2009 price: $250,000 plus $15,000 for […]
In May 2008 we chattered about a 2-bedroom vintage foreclosure at 4629 N. Magnolia in Uptown that was missing the kithen. See our former chatter and all of the original pictures of the unit here. It takes a “vision” to see possibilities in a property that has been beaten up. Jason, one of the early […]
I’m going to be on vacation next week so there will be reduced postings throughout the week. You all know the drill. I need to recharge my batteries before we get to the really hot summer selling period. The market is already picking up so it’s bound to get interesting. Keep it civil amongst yourselves […]
