Crib Chatter

By popular demand, this is an open forum to discuss the recent property tax bills. Is there outrage or relief? Those of us renting have no skin in this game, but we’ll gladly follow along in the discussion. Please try and keep it civil.

Crib Chatter will be on vacation next week so there will be limited postings however there will be something new every day. Be sure to check in. However, I will be slow to respond to all of your e-mail questions so please have patience. As always, thanks to everyone for the tips on the interesting […]

Additionally, because I’m going out of town and won’t be back until late on Monday and will subsequently be watching the Blackhawks on Monday night (go Hawks!)- there […]

I’m not feeling well so there will only be two new properties today. Sorry!  I don’t know what I have but hopefully it goes away quickly so I can be back at 100% by Wednesday. Thanks- Sabrina

I’ll be away on vacation next week so there will be a limited schedule for Crib Chatter. No posts on Monday, February 15th, President’s Day Limited posts the rest of the week I’ll be covering some million dollar properties on the north side next week. But never fear, other neighborhoods will get their chance in […]

Given the holiday, Crib Chatter will be operating on a more limited schedule. There will only be two posts today. The real estate scene is still rather quiet. The spring selling season begins (officially) after the Super Bowl but look for momentum to build in the next week or so as new listings come on […]
