Crib Chatter Is Going on Vacation: March 1-10
I’m going on vacation starting on March 1 (today!) and returning on March 10.
All you regulars know that means there will be limited posts. For the rest of this week there will just be two posts a day (morning and mid-day.)
For next week, there will just be one post a day (in the morning.)
Next week will essentially be “luxury home week”. I know some of you find that to be boring but you’ll just have to endure it for a week and then it’s back to the regular mix of properties.
Some things to keep in mind:
- If you are new to posting comments, have patience because it will take me a little longer to get to the moderation.
- Please try and play nice. I don’t want to have to interrupt my beach time to deal with crazy comments. 🙂
- If you have any tips, please feel free to send them to me on my e-mail at cribchatter@yahoo.com. When I return, I will be making trips around the city so that we have a bunch of new properties to chatter about in March as the spring buying season heats up. If you have something you think is interesting, please drop me a line about it.
- CribChatter also has a twitter account @cribchatter. I’m just getting used to using it to post about things that aren’t posted on the site. It also posts about each new property every day. Feel free to check that out if you are a twitter junkie.
When I come back, I’m looking forward to chattering about the spring market.
Thanks for all your help with tips, pictures and great insights into neighborhoods, schools and properties.

Congrats on your Twitter account, Sabrina.
If you want to be my “nemisis” you’ll have to learn to spell it first. Or did you mean the Urban Dictionary variety?
Have fun!
if crib chatters are bored for content, there’s always this

“The negative votes are pretty clearly expressing a negative sentiment toward me, and an antipathy toward knowlege.”
If you want us to believe you have “knowlege” you’ll have to learn to spell it first.
Have a great vacation!!!!
I think that when you go out of town that we should be treated to some regional summer homes on the market to chat about. Perhaps New Buffalo, IN, the chain of Lakes area in IL, or Lake Geneva, WI. That way at least while you are resting on the beach we can be dreaming about warm summer nights at the lake.
Have a great trip!
hot springs arkansas would be cool. brother of a friend was buying up places there 7 years ago. wonder how that turned out
Sorry, this vacation was not pre-approved, so we’re not going to be able to let you go on vacation at this time.
JJJ – tough love…..
I concur. We were not given proper notice of this betrayal
JP3 that is a good idea.. There are a few properties on the chain of lakes that are absolutely ridiculous. Very curious about details
Here’s the best buy on the Chain of Lakes … was $1.8M, now $850K.

Is Fox Lake full of Asian carp? That’s a pretty cheap price for that much house, land and lakefront.
Sabrina, inspired by the couple showing that property, I googled Riverwoods (I knew nothing about it). This is a pretty nice place that could be featured for your “luxury home” week:
7 Timberline Lane
Riverwoods, IL 60015

Zekas has only ONE nemesis?
damn joe did you steal that psychedelic couch from your days hanging out in the playboy mansion basement?
Ryan,
The home’s on Dunns Lake, not directly on Fox Lake, but has access to it via waterway.
You can take a video drive around Riverwoods with old friends of mine, Bill and Sherry Kaplan, and tour some nice properties there at YouTube. Bill’s been the mayor of Riverwoods for over a dozen years and knows it well.
