Crib Chatter

This 2-bedroom condo at 930 N. Wood in West Town first came on the market in December 2014.

We chattered about it in January 2015 as it was listed for $52,000 more than the peak 2005 price. See that chatter here.

Seven months later, it is still on the market.

Built in 2000, the kitchen has maple cabinets, granite counter tops and black appliances.

It has hardwood floors in the main living areas and a fireplace.

In 2011, the listing said it was 991 square feet. This time around, it says 1110 square feet.

The unit has the features buyers look for, including central air, washer/dryer in the unit and deeded parking – although it’s an outdoor space.

It is just a few blocks from the hot Division street restaurant scene

Since January, it has been on and off the market.

It has also reduced $10,000 to $365,000 but that price is still $42,500 above the peak price.

Why isn’t this selling in this hot market?

Linda Metz at Berkshire Hathaway KoenigRubloff still has the listing. See the pictures here.
