Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom at 2821 N. Cambridge in East Lakeview just came on the market but it was also listed in 2012. You can’t see the old listing history in the Redfin listing because it came on the market this time as Unit #1 when last year it was listed as Unit #1N. The building was […]

As most people know, I’m going to attempt to convert CribChatter to a Forum site so that all of you who want to chatter about a certain property or part of the city can do so more easily. With inventory so low, it’s become difficult to find content that is remotely interesting. I thought I’d […]

We last chattered about this top floor 2-bedroom at 3236 N. Seminary in Lakeview in April 2013. See our prior chatter here. Back then, some of you thought this was priced too high at $449,000 for a 2/2. Others thought that with the hot market it would still sell quickly. However, it’s still available and was […]

We chattered about this Fannie Mae-owned 3-bedroom townhouse at 642 N. Armour in West Town several times last year. See our November 2012 chatter here. Back then, it was listed for $309,000 but most of you thought, given its condition and the neighborhood, that it would sell in the low $200,000s. Most of you thought […]

This 2-bedroom duplex loft at 2250 W. Ohio in West Town came on the market in May 2013. At 1350 square feet the listing says either bedroom can be used as a master bedroom. One is on the main floor and the second is on the second floor. The upstairs bedroom has a area in […]

This 3-bedroom historic farmhouse at 315 W. Eugenie in the Old Town Triangle Landmark District came on the market listed for just $500,000 only 3 days ago. (No- you aren’t reading that price wrong.) By the time you read this, it may already be too late to make a bid as “highest and best” offers were […]

This 1-bedroom in 340 On the Park at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East recently came on the market. It is an oversized 1-bedroom measuring 1400 square feet. The other 1-bedrooms in the building usually measure around 1100 square feet. It also has the coveted south views of Millennium Park and the lake from the […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in Southport several times over the years. Check out our last chatter in May 2013 here. Yes- it sits right next to the Brown Line tracks. It’s now been on the market for over 3 months without a sale. However, there’s now a […]

This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 657 W. Buena in the Buena Park neighborhood of Uptown recently came on the market. The building was built in 1919 and is just one block from the lake. The unit has some of its vintage features including crown molding and hardwood floors throughout. It was last listed in 2008 and the […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom cottage at 1441 N. Campbell in East Humboldt Park in March 2013. See our chatter here. If you recall, it was on the market for 5 months in 2012 during the peak spring/summer buying season and didn’t sell. It returned to the market at the same time of the […]
