Reduction on Harry Weese Duplex: 235 W. Eugenie in Old Town

There were a lot of fans of this 1965 mid-century modern Harry Weese-designed duplex condo when we last chattered about it in March 2008. It is still available and has been reduced $5,000. Paul Somers at Jameson Realty has the listing. Unit #T-4: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths Sold in August 2004 for $385,000 Was listed in […]

Reductions on Michigan Avenue Million Dollar Units

We’re starting to see some small reductions on some of the upper end properties that aren’t selling. These two multi-million dollar condo units on South Michigan Avenue with Grant Park and lake views have both been reduced since we last chattered about them. This full-floor unit at 1142 S. Michigan has been reduced $100k. Unit #5: 2 […]

Some Price Reductions on the Far North Side

Several properties we’ve chattered about on the far north side have been reduced recently. Remember the vintage Rogers Park 3-bedroom unit near the beach at 1056 W. North Shore?  It’s still available and has been reduced $15k. Unit #3W: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2200 square feet, 2 car parking Sold in October 2004 for $390,000 […]

Another Price Reduction on Dream River North Terrace: 375 W. Erie

We’ve chattered about this loft with its own massive private terrace at 375 W. Erie in River North several times. It was actually under contract several months ago but that contract fell through. It’s been reduced again. Unit #610: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1800 square feet Sold in April 2003 for $560,000 Listed in January […]

Flipper Alert: $49K Price Reduction in 340 On the Park

We last chattered about this one bedroom unit at 340 On the Park, at 340 E. Randolph, in Lakeshore East in early June. At that time, it had recently been reduced. It has now been reduced another $49,000. By just square footage- that would make this unit a much better “deal” than in any of […]

Update on Our Favorite Barry Units: 708 W. Barry

We’ve chattered about these two condos at 708 W. Barry in Lakeview several times in the last few months. But some good news: one of them is finally under contract! Both have been reduced since we last chattered about them in May. Unit #1R: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1200 square feet Sold in November 2005 for $454,500 Was listed […]

Selling in Less Than a Year: 3816 N. Fremont in Lakeview

We’ve chattered about several one bedroom condos where the owners were trying to sell in only a year. But what about a bigger, more expensive unit? 3816 N. Fremont was a conversion of an older graystone in Lakeview in 2007. This 3-bedroom duplex sold in June 2007 and came back on the market in February 2008. […]

Recipe to Sell a Property: Raising the Price? 143 W. Burton

In March 2008 we chattered about this 6-unit art-deco building at 143 W. Burton in River North/Old Town with two units on the market. Neither one had been “upgraded” (i.e. no granite or stainless steel in the kitchens.) Both were one bedroom units. The units are still on the market. One has had a price increase. The other one has been […]

Update on Some Past Properties in Lincoln Park: Now Reduced

Remember the vintage with good bones but an older kitchen on lovely Pine Grove at 2724 N. Pine Grove in Lincoln Park that we chattered about in early June?  It’s still on the market and has been reduced again. Unit #3: 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, diningroom Sold in August 1999 for $210,000 Originally listed for $325,000 […]

$400k Reduction for the Japanese Gardens: 201 W. Grand

We’ve chattered about this penthouse unit at 201 W. Grand in River North several times now- the last time in April 2008. Back then, we all marveled at how cool the unit was with its one-of-a-kind Japanese gardens and how you couldn’t really put a price tag on something so unique. The unit is still for […]
