This large 1-bedroom in The Bristol at 57 E. Delaware in the Gold Coast has been on and off the market since March 2010. In that time period, it has been reduced $120,500 to $429,000. Luxury 1-bedroom units over 1000 square feet in downtown high rises were all the rage during the housing boom. This one […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom in the silver-leed certified building at 1322 N. Clybourn on the Near North Side (near a soon to be new Target, apparently) in April 2011. See our prior chatter here (but I’m almost scared to link to the old thread- given the discussion about pizza, among other things). In […]

The listing for this 5-bedroom at 3180 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview says it has never been on the market before. The building was built in 1953.

The loft has a massive New York-style open layout with 17 foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a refurbished tin ceiling. Since it’s a top floor unit, it has […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom landmark greystone at 2823 N. Pine Grove in Lakeview in August 2011. See our prior chatter here. No surprise, but back in August some of you felt like the list price was too high. You felt you would need to get it much cheaper in order to do the […]

We first chattered about the Chess Lofts at 320 E. 21st in the South Loop in June 2008 when the loft conversion building had just started closings. At that time, the flippers were active (remember them?) and “all offers considered” was the name of the game. See the June 2008 chatter here. Then, we chattered […]
