This 3-bedroom at 432 W. Oakdale in Lakeview has been on the market since July 2010. In that time, it has been reduced $125,000. It appears to have most of the features buyers look for including a washer/dryer in the unit, garage parking and space pak central air. The kitchen has cherry cabinets but does […]

I’m not sure we’ve actually chattered directly about these midcentury modern townhomes at 2900 N. Sheridan in Lakview before but they have certainly been linked to in the past- when one has come on the market. This 3-bedroom unit was recently listed. At 1500 square feet, all 3 bedrooms on on the second floor. The […]

We last chattered about this bank owned 1-bedroom at 546 W. Surf in Lakeview in April 2011 after it had just had a “drama” reduction in its price from $129,900 to $72,500. See our prior chatter here. In that time- some of you have updated its status in the comments section as it went under […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 4017 N. Southport in the Graceland West neighborhood of Lakeview in May 2011. See our May 2011 chatter here. The unit was then listed for $11,000 under the 2001 purchase price at $229,000. With central air, an in-unit washer/dryer and deeded parking included, many of you thought it […]

This 3-bedroom duplex up at 3453 N. Racine in Lakeview has been on the market for a year. In that time, it has been reduced $89,900. The living room has 25 foot vaulted ceilings. Two of the 3 bedrooms are on the main level with the third on the second level- which is currently being […]

Even though this 2-bedroom cottage at 3908 N. Paulina in Lakeview has been on and off the market for about 2 1/2 years, we actually haven’t chattered about it. Originally listed in February 2009, it has been reduced $117,900. The house has hardwood floors throughout the first level. The bedrooms are split, with one on […]

Thanks to the astute reader who tipped me off to this 2-bedroom in the historic Brewster at 2800 N. Pine Grove in Lakeview which just came back on the market. We have chattered about this unit several times before because earlier this year it was bank owned. See our May 2011 chatter here. It finally […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom at 717 W. Briar in Lakeview in April 2011. See our prior chatter here. Listed $5,100 under the 2003 price at $379,900, only Bob took a swing at a selling price – guessing $355,000 because it included the parking. The property just sold for $332,000. That was also $108,000 […]

This 3-bedroom “newer” construction duplex down at 3723 N. Wilton in the Wrigleyville neighborhood of Lakeview has been on the market since March 2011. In that time, it has been reduced about $100,000 and is now a short sale. This unit would seem to make a perfect home for a buyer with several roommates as […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 839 W. Wellington in Lakeview in January 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed just $14,500 under the 2005 purchase price of $449,500 after having been on the market for 6 months. Some of you liked the unit a lot but thought it […]
