We last chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 1756 W. Pierce in Wicker Park in April 2011. See our April chatter here. At that time, the townhouse had been on the market for 17 months. A price reduction under $340,000 seemed to do the trick as the property was apparently “swarmed” with people and it sold […]
In a recent discussion of a vintage 2-bedroom unit at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park listed at $595,000, I commented in the thread that buyers could get a townhouse in the neighborhood for the same price (instead of living a condo in a 3 or 4-flat.) Anonny replied: “I’d love to see such a listing. Aside […]

We’ve chattered about the 2-bedroom single family home at 1722 W. Wellington in Lakeview several times over the last 2 years.

In that time, it has been reduced $31,000. It is not only listed $108,500 under its 2004 purchase price but also […]
When things were looking bleak in real estate in early 2008, we chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park to remind ourselves why we loved Chicago real estate. See the February 2008 chatter with interior pictures here. Our 2008 chatter is very illuminative of the market just 3 years ago. […]
Thanks to miumiu who pointed out that this newer construction 6-bedroom mansion at 1728 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park had sold in January 2011. (I missed this sale.)
