Crib Chatter

We actually chattered about this Victorian 3-bedroom rowhouse at 2408 N. Burling in Lincoln Park all the way back in July 2009. See our 2009 chatter here. At that time, some of you thought this was priced to sell at $775,000- even without the parking. But it never sold and was withdrawn from the market. […]

When this 2-bedroom at 2034 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park first came on the market last February, some of you commented on it in one of the threads. 7 months later, it is still on the market and has been reduced $26,000. The top floor unit has seen much of the original 1891 woodwork restored […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom townhouse at 2052 N. Larrabee in Lincoln Park in May 2011. See our prior chatter here. Priced at $329,000 at the time, at only 1000 square feet on two levels, most of you thought it was too small to sell for over $300,000. It recently sold for $316,000, or […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage rowhouse at 535 W. Arlington in July 2011. See our prior chatter here. Many of you liked the property at the listed price point, which was $5,000 under the 2007 price. I asked if it was priced for a quick sell and apparently the answer was “yes” as this […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom single family home and coach house at 1863 N. Bissell in Lincoln Park in March 2011. See our prior chatter here. Listed as a short sale after having been on the market for 2 years, the house recently sold for $30,000 above the last list price of $1.85 million […]

Several of you have written me inquiring about this bank owned 2-bedroom vintage coach house at 1143 W. Armitage in Lincoln Park. (This is a picture of the front part of the building. The coach house is in the back part of the lot.) Up until recently, the listing didn’t have interior pictures but it […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage unit in Benjamin Marshall’s 1550 N. State Parkway in the Gold Coast in May 2011. See our prior chatter here. Since that time, it has been reduced another $124,000 to $675,000. It is now a short sale and is listed 29% below its 2006 purchase price. If you […]

We chattered about a 3-bedroom duplex down in this building at 1847 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park previously but a 2-bedroom unit in the same building also came on the market in the spring. It was last purchased in April of 2008. Originally listed in April of 2011 for $46,000 over the 2008 purchase price, […]

Clio pointed out this 2-bedroom at 2020 N. Lincoln Park West across from Lincoln Park in one of our chatters about “deals” in the GreenZone. It recently came on the market as a “short sale” listed $106,000 under the 2007 purchase price. The corner unit has a “rehabbed” kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless […]

This 2-bedroom garden unit at 2212 N. Sedgwick in East Lincoln Park has been on the market since February 2011. [Sorry for the crappy picture! And you can’t even see the windows for the garden unit either. What was I thinking?] It has been reduced $115,100 in that time and is now listed for only $199,900. […]
