We chattered about this Fannie Mae-owned 3-bedroom townhouse at 642 N. Armour in West Town several times last year. See our November 2012 chatter here. Back then, it was listed for $309,000 but most of you thought, given its condition and the neighborhood, that it would sell in the low $200,000s. Most of you thought […]

This 2-bedroom duplex loft at 2250 W. Ohio in West Town came on the market in May 2013. At 1350 square feet the listing says either bedroom can be used as a master bedroom. One is on the main floor and the second is on the second floor. The upstairs bedroom has a area in […]

This 3-bedroom historic farmhouse at 315 W. Eugenie in the Old Town Triangle Landmark District came on the market listed for just $500,000 only 3 days ago. (No- you aren’t reading that price wrong.) By the time you read this, it may already be too late to make a bid as “highest and best” offers were […]

This 1-bedroom in 340 On the Park at 340 E. Randolph in Lakeshore East recently came on the market. It is an oversized 1-bedroom measuring 1400 square feet. The other 1-bedrooms in the building usually measure around 1100 square feet. It also has the coveted south views of Millennium Park and the lake from the […]

We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in Southport several times over the years. Check out our last chatter in May 2013 here. Yes- it sits right next to the Brown Line tracks. It’s now been on the market for over 3 months without a sale. However, there’s now a […]

The unit has some of its vintage features including crown molding and hardwood floors throughout. It was last listed in 2008 and the […]

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom cottage at 1441 N. Campbell in East Humboldt Park in March 2013. See our chatter here. If you recall, it was on the market for 5 months in 2012 during the peak spring/summer buying season and didn’t sell. It returned to the market at the same time of the […]

The amazing thing about running this website is when properties that we chattered about previously come back on the market to try again. This 2-bedroom at 2944 N. Broadway in Lakeview is one of those. We first chattered about it all the way back in September 2008. See our old chatter here. Back then, when […]

This 3-bedroom brick bungalow at 2600 W. Coyle in the Indian Boundary Park neighborhood of West Ridge came on the market in May 2013. Built in 1921 on an oversized 32×124 corner lot, it has an unusual 1-car attached garage. Two of the 3 bedrooms are on the main floor with a master bedroom on […]

  This 2-bedroom duplex at 3700 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview came on the market in March 2013. It was reduced several times but still didn’t sell. The listing was removed and re-listed with brand new photographs. Even though only minor details were changed with the actual property (i.e. a rug was removed in the […]
