Should You Use Computer Generated Rehab Pictures? 330 N. Jefferson on the Near West Side

This 2 bedroom in Jefferson Tower at 330 N. Jefferson in the Kinzie Station neighborhood on the Near West Side just came on the market.

Built in 2000, it has 187 units and a parking garage. It’s a full amenity building with a doorman and exercise room.

This unit has unobstructed north and west views.

It has a split bedroom layout.

The listing says both bedrooms can fit king sized beds.

The master bedroom has an en suite master bath and a walk-in-closet.

The kitchen has light wood cabinets, a 15 foot island with granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances but you may get confused because the listing shows two kitchens, including one that is a computer generated version with modern black and white cabinets and white counter tops.

Similarly, both bathrooms are also shown with computer generated pictures with floating modern wood vanities and white tiled walls.

It has central air, a new washer/dryer and a heated garage parking space is available for $25,000.

Do the computer generated pictures showing you what the property COULD look like help or hurt in the sale?

Aaron Greenberg at Keller Williams Chicago-Lincoln Park has the listing. See the pictures here.

  1. More HAWT’ness.

    5% increase in 5 years proves that the market is HAWT, HAWT, HAWT!

    The properties looks like a decent place for a couple of recent grads to live, probably would do better as a rental.

  2. lmao hilarious, yeah pay me like the place has been updated but it hasn’t, seriously where is the justification for this hot price increase?

    Thanks, here’s some digital pictures, maybe you can pay me in bit coins too

  4. I realize this one is contingent, and supposedly bigger:

    but to me it’s way worth the $75k price difference to not muck about with doing a full-ish reno in a high rise, even if it would only cost $50k to have done.

  5. As someone said above,

    I think all it does is show a potential buyer something this unit *doesnt* have, and that is updated finishes. Also shows how much money and work it would take to make the unit look ‘updated’.

    I’ve noticed this trend a lot lately…not sure what the realtors are thinking here.

    Far better off leaving well enough alone.

    That being said, don’t think 450 is a terrible price for this location……It’ll sell somewhere in that 425-450 range I think, with parking included.
