Crib Chatter

With the ccrd website down, I’m covering some of our old properties. We last chattered about this 3-bedroom duplex down at 1049 W. Montana in Lincoln Park in October 2011. See our prior chatter here. It is still on the market and was recently reduced another $10,000 to $389,000. If you recall, it has all […]

We have chattered about this 2-bedroom in this courtyard building at 1104 W. Montana in Lincoln Park several times over the years. See our prior chatter in June 2011 when we discussed Chicago’s shadow inventory here. Back in June, anonny said this about why the unit, which was in a short sale, wasn’t selling at a list […]

This 7-bedroom Queen Anne at 634 W. Fullerton Parkway in Lincoln Park came on the market in October of 2011. It seems to have it all. The listing says it has been “completely rebuilt” so even though it dates back to 1880, it has a modern interior. The 7 bedrooms are spread out on the […]

This 6-unit new construction building at 2521 N. Ashland in Lincoln Park went on the market about a month ago. 3 out of the 5 units currently on the market are already under contract. The 5 units on the market are priced as the following: Unit #1N: 4/3 duplex down, $499,900, Under Contract Unit #1S: […]

This 3-bedroom at 705 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park has been on the market since July 2011. We’ve chattered a lot about how the 1 and 2 bedroom condos in the GreenZone are getting beat up badly in this housing downturn. But some of you have argued that the 3-bedrooms are “holding up” better, in […]

This 3-bedroom duplex down at 2715 N. Southport in Lincoln Park has been on the market since September 2010. In those 14 months it has been reduced $65,000 to $559,900. Originally built in 2000, it has hardwood floors and custom crown molding throughout. 2 out of the 3 bedrooms are on the main floor with […]

This 2-bedroom vintage cottage at 1345 W. Webster in Lincoln Park has been on the market since October 2008. In that time it has been reduced more than 50% going from a list price of $1.275 million to now just $600,000. It is the adjacent parcel to 1339 W. Webster and is basically being sold […]

We last chattered about this 6-bedroom single family home at 1339 W. Webster in Lincoln Park all the way back in July 2009. See our prior chatter here. Back in 2009, it was listed at $4.2 million. It has since been reduced to $2.995 million. Built in 1896 and renovated sometime after 1996 by architects Burns & Beyerl, the […]

As someone recently pointed out on the 2011 N. Kenmore thread, this 2-bedroom at 1024 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park (which is in the same association as the Kenmore coach house) came back on the market. The bank has finally gotten  its act together on this property, since it has owned it since July 2011. It […]

We’ve chattered about this 1-bedroom coach house at 2011 N. Kenmore several times since it came on the market in March 2010. See our last chatter, in June 2011, here. Originally listed all the way back in March 2010 (nearly 2 years ago now!) for $349,000, it was reduced to $315,000 in March 2011. And […]
