Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom single family home at 1509 N. Paulina in Wicker Park in May 2011. See our prior chatter here. The agent, Evan Kane, was running a contest to see who could guess the sales price of this house. Many of you simply guessed the ultimate sales price right on Crib […]

We last chattered about this rehabbed 3-bedroom rowhouse at 2501 N. Racine in June 2011. See our prior chatter here. It had previously been a 2-bedroom and sold for just $630,000 in February 2011 before being renovated into a 3-bedroom with all new kitchen and baths and then listed for $899,000. It went under contract […]

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 But it never sold and was withdrawn from the market.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 […]

Why didn’t anyone tell me that our favorite 6000 square foot West Town penthouse at 1715 W. Ohio had returned to the market? Back in 2009, we had several fun chatters about this penthouse as it was then listed at $2 million. See our November 2009 chatter here. (ah- the good ole days) Some of […]

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 […]

You all have been chattering about this 3-bedroom single family home at 3134 N. Oakley in North Center in some of the comments of other threads. It was previously a bank owned home that sold in late June or early July for $285,000. Just weeks later it returned to the market listed for $134,000 more […]

We last chattered about this 5-bedroom single family home at 5692 N. New Hampshire in the Old Norwood Park neighborhood in October 2010. See our prior chatter here. Since then, the house has been reduced another $100,000. On and off the market since February 2009, it has now been reduced $596,000. Located in the Old […]

This 4-bedroom duplex up at 4530 N. Magnolia in Uptown recently came on the market. It is listed 22% under the 2007 purchase price. At 2500 square feet, it is bigger than many city single family homes. Two of the bedrooms are on the main floor with 2 on the top floor along with a […]

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 […]
