We last chattered about The Vic Lofts at 3150 N. Sheffield in Lakeview in May 2008. At that time, we discussed 4 different units. Since then, 2 of the 4 have sold for under their prior 2006 sales prices. 2 others are still on the market, with both significantly reduced by $30,000 and $35,000, respectively. […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 2944 N. Broadway in Lakeview in September 2008. Many of you thought it was overpriced in the fall. See our chatter and pictures here. It’s still available and there has been no price reduction. (Note bedroom sizes below- which were a topic of chatter in September.) Here’s […]
Not every address on the north side of Lake Shore Drive is a high rise. We’ve chattered before about several million dollar homes and condos in small boutique buildings. Then there is this 2-bedroom duplex with its own private terrace at 3700 N. Lake Shore Drive. Built in 1980, the complex consists of 52 units. The listing […]
“Starter” condos have become rare in East Lakeview in the past few years as prices have skyrocketed. But this 1-bedroom at 636 W. Waveland is actually listed under $200,000 and it has a washer/dryer in the unit. It’s also been reduced $11,500. Or- if you still feel like renting- there is a rent to own option […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom vintage unit at 630 W. Oakdale in Lakeview in November 2008. See the old chatter here. On the market since July 2008, it has now seen a $50,000 reduction from its original listing price. Here’s its history: Unit #3E: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, sunroom, 1600 square feet Sold in […]
Sorry about all the update posts lately, but quite a few of the properties we’ve chattered about are still on the market and many have had price reductions. During this “slow” winter market, I’ll be updating as many of them as I can. We last chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 444 W. Belmont in Lakeview in August […]
With the kind of weather we’ve been having, it might be nice to have heated sidewalks. You can still buy it- and now also rent it- at 2820 N. Paulina in West Lakeview. Not only are there heated sidewalks in this modern new construction home, but you can control the home from its automated panels […]
This single family home at 3449 N. Paulina in West Lakeview appears to have it all: 3 bedrooms, the all-important 2 baths (instead of just 1 or 1.5), central air, a backyard and a garage. The listing says it is extra wide- with 20′ wide interior. Many would consider this home to be a “condo-alternative.” Will this property […]
Many of you are interested in investing in multi-unit buildings with the hope that you can cover your costs by renting out the units. This new construction 2-flat at 710 W. Melrose in Lakeview claims that if you “do the math” the “numbers really work!” Do they? Both units are 3-bedroom, 3-bath duplexes. Both are […]
We chattered about this 3-bedroom contemporary townhouse at 1401 W. Berteau in Lakeview in September 2008. See pictures and our chatter here. Since then, nothing has changed. The townhouse is still for sale, a “paint credit” is still “negotiable” and the price is unchanged at $660,000. But at least the snowy pictures are now current. […]
