This 1-bedroom vintage unit at 627 W. Barry in East Lakeview was recently reduced by $10,000. The listing says it has the original moldings. While there is hardwood floors in the living room there is carpet in the dining room and bedroom (I wonder if hardwood is underneath?). The kitchen has been renovated with white […]

In April 2009, it was re-listed with a brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliances and white cabinets. See our April 2009 chatter and pictures of the kitchens here. Since then, it has been reduced several times and is now listed […]

Such is the case with this 4-bedroom brick single family home at 1135 N. Spaulding in Humboldt Park. Bought in June 2009, the listing says it was stripped down to the bricks […]
We first chattered about this 4-bedroom Gold Coast coach house at 20 E. Goethe 2 years ago, in January 2008. See our prior chatter and pictures here. It’s a unique property because it is situated behind the mid-rise building of 20 E. Goethe and has alley access to the garage on its first floor. The 4-level […]

The spring selling season begins (officially) after the Super Bowl but look for momentum to build in the next week or so as new listings come on […]
