We’ve chattered about 600 N. Fairbanks, the Helmut Jahn-designed highrise in Streeterville, numerous times in the past. We finally have some closings in 2009 that provide a better idea of what is going on in the building. Has one of the hottest buildings in Chicago fallen back to earth? We chattered about Unit #1505, a […]
We chattered about 240 W. Willow, a 1873-renovated Victorian single family home in Old Town in October 2008 and March 2009. It was a complete rehab and seemed to have everything- except a parking space. See our prior chatter and pictures from October 2008 here. The property recently came back on the market and was […]

The 6-bedroom house at 1510 W. Byron in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview was new construction in 2007.

I often get asked if I can direct people to an agent who handles, for instance, only foreclosures. There’s a new website that just launched that may help. It’s called: AgentsCompared.com It was started by an attorney in Chicago just a week ago. It’s free to users (and to agents who list their information on […]
This brick and timber 1-bedroom duplex loft at 1236 W. Fullerton, the Surrey Court Lofts, in Lincoln Park has been on the market since May. It is bank-owned and just recently had a $10,000 price reduction. The loft is now listed under the 1998 purchase price. The unit has a spiral staircase to the bedroom and den […]
We last chattered about this large 1-bedroom unit at Fairbanks at Cityfront Plaza at 240 E. Illinois in Streeterville last January. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It was priced at $600,000 plus $55,000 for the parking but comps on units sold on nearby floors seemed to justify the high price. It is 7 months […]
