We last chattered about this 2-bedroom coach house at 2616 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park in April 2010. See our prior chatter here. The discussion was dominated by a microwave apparently in a sink (not sure I see that in the current pictures however.) I think this coach house has been under contract in the […]
This second floor 3-bedroom at 2227 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park has been on the market since June 2012. It recently reduced $56,000 and is now a short sale. Two lis pendens foreclosures were also filed in June 2012. The listing says this vintage unit in a 3-flat has been “restored.” It now has an open […]
We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom in 504 W. Barry in East Lakeview numerous times over the past 2 years. See our last chatter in May 2012 here. Originally listed for $779,900, but then reduced, some of you thought this would finally sell in the $500,000s but some of you were even more bearish and guessed […]

Back then, it was a short sale listed at $324,900 but Homedelete peered into his crystal ball and had this to say: “Not only is […]
This 2-bedroom in the historic Brewster at 2800 N. Pine Grove in East Lakeview recently came on the market. It is a short sale.

We chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex penthouse at 1715 W. Ohio in West Town several times in the last 3 years. See our August 2011 chatter here. If you recall, the unit is no ordinary top floor unit. At 6000-square feet, it was the real deal with a massive 1700 square foot deck with downtown […]
