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. […]

We last chattered about this newer construction 2-bedroom at 2145 N. Racine in Lincoln Park in March 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, the unit was listed for $549,000 and we discussed whether the market could support a $550,000 2/2. Most of you thought it should be listed at $499,000 (though someone […]

We last chattered about this top floor 2-bedroom at 632 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park in November 2010. [This picture is actually of the sister building to 632 W. Wrightwood which is 2 buildings east down the street and is identical looking. For some reason I didn’t have a pic of 632 itself.] See our […]

I’ve been watching this new construction 7-bedroom single family home at 1111 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park for some time. It has been on and off the market since March 2008 and is now listed as a short sale. In that time, it has been reduced $499,000. Built in 2010 on a 29×131 lot, the […]

This 2-bedroom at 2757 N. Lincoln in Lincoln Park on the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview has been on the market since mid-June 2011. It is a short sale. In that time, it has been reduced $50,000 and is now listed about 18% under the 2007 purchase price of $520,000. 2757 N. Lincoln is […]

We chattered about this 3-bedroom townhouse at 704 W. Wrightwood in Lincoln Park in June 2011 as a possible alternative to some nearby 2-bedroom vintage condo units priced in the $600,000s. I asked: “Will buyers choose more space and the added privacy of a townhouse over similarly priced condos in the neighborhood? Apparently, the answer is “yes”- as […]

This top floor 3-bedroom at 2733 N. Hampden Ct. in Lincoln Park has been on the market since April 2011. In that time, it has been reduced $29,000. It is now listed $35,000 under the 2006 purchase price. It has many of its vintage features still intact including original woodwork, high ceilings and an antique […]

We first chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1208 W. Webster in Lincoln Park all the way back in September of 2008 and again in January 2009 after a price cut. See our January 2009 chatter here. It was originally listed for nearly $40,000 more than the 2006 purchase price of $460,000 before being cut just $20,000. […]

We last chattered about this 6000 square foot new construction single family home at 2643 N. Magnolia in Lincoln Park a year ago. See our July 2010 chatter here. At that time, it was priced at $3.2 million. Many of you thought it was overpriced compared to what else was also available in Lincoln Park […]

We last chattered about this vintage 3-bedroom at 2535 N. Orchard in Lincoln Park in July 2010. See our July 2010 chatter here. The unit was then priced at $424,500. A year ago, many of you believed the price was pretty close to being right for a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath unit in that location. […]
