We’ve chattered quite a bit about the empty million dollar homes that are seemingly everywhere. The market times on many of these homes are over 2-years (and counting.) This 5-bedroom home at 1342 W. Melrose in Southport recently had a lis pendens filed against it. Here’s the listing: FABULOUS NEWER BRICK/LIMESTONE SINGLE FAMILY ON ALLEY- […]

The vintage home was built in 1903 and has original wainscoting, crown molding, chair rails and coffered ceilings. It’s also […]

Unit #10AC, for example, is over […]
We’ve chattered a lot about Lincoln Park and Lakeview prices in recent weeks. If you look at the price history on many properties, you see sharp increases in just the last few years.
