We last chattered about this “short sale” 5-bedroom single family home at 2533 N. Greenview in Lincoln Park in September 2008. See the pictures and our prior chatter here. It is still on the market, still listed as a “short sale” and the listing says it is still currently rented for $5,000 a month. But […]
We recently chattered about the new construction home in Bucktown/Wicker Park that had the burst pipes and water up to the first floor. You can see the Fox News video here. But water and weather problems aren’t limited to foreclosures in the harsh Chicago winters. Thanks to the tipster who sent me info about this […]
This 3-bedroom duplex down unit at 2057 N. Seminary in Lincoln Park has been on the market for 16 months. It is now listed $90,000 less than its original listing price and under its 2005 selling price. It seems to have it “all”- including central air, washer dryer, large square footage- except it doesn’t have parking. Is this […]
The strains on the market are becoming apparent even in prestige neighborhoods like Lincoln Park. Take this vintage 2-bedroom unit we’ve chattered about twice before. It has now been reduced $16,000 and is listed below its 2004 selling price. Is the older kitchen and bath hurting it in this competitive market? Or is it still the lack of […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom townhouse at 2349 N. Wayne in Lincoln Park in July 2008. See our prior chatter here. Back in July, we chattered about whether or not the townhouse was “affordable.” It is still on the market and has been reduced $19,100. Does this make it even more affordable? Here’s its history again: 2349 N. […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom vintage greystone unit at 2523 N. Burling in Lincoln Park in July 2008. See the pictures and chatter here. Since then, it has been reduced another $4,000. But it’s still available. Susan Parent at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See the listing and more pictures here. Here’s its history: […]
There seem to be a lot of properties that have long market times that are now reducing prices given that the calender has changed to 2009. This 3-bedroom vintage unit at 626 W. Belden in Lincoln Park is one of them. See the old chatter and pictures here. Since we last chattered about this renovated greystone unit, it has reduced […]
We last chattered about this 3-bedroom townhome at 1801 W. Diversey in Lincoln Park (which many of you argued was not really Lincoln Park at all) in October 2008. Read the last chatter and see the pictures here. It had been reduced $29,900 and the listing said it was “priced to sell.” It’s back on the […]
We last chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 1208 W. Webster in September 2008. Since then it was withdrawn from the market and recently re-listed- with a $20,000 reduction. See the pictures here. Here’s the history: Unit #4: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1325 square feet Sold in February 2002 for $355,000 Sold in August 2006 for […]
In May 2008, we chattered about whether or not having parking with a condo unit mattered. Read our chatter here. 2123 N. Kenmore, a 3-bedroom, 2 bath unit, in Lincoln Park seemed to have “everything” except a parking spot. It is still on the market 8 months later and has been reduced by $30,000. Suzanne […]
