We’ve chattered about the 2-bedroom single family home at 1722 W. Wellington in Lakeview several times over the last 2 years. In February of 2011, I asked if 2011 would finally be the year the house would sell. We now know the answer was “yes.” See our February 2011 chatter here. By that time, it had […]
This 2-bedroom top floor unit in a former church at 3516 N. Sheffield just a half a block away from Wrigley Field in Lakeview has been on the market since March 2011. It is bank owned. In that time, it has been reduced $31,000. It is not only listed $108,500 under its 2004 purchase price but also […]
When things were looking bleak in real estate in early 2008, we chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 562 W. Arlington in Lincoln Park to remind ourselves why we loved Chicago real estate. See the February 2008 chatter with interior pictures here. Our 2008 chatter is very illuminative of the market just 3 years ago. […]
Thanks to miumiu who pointed out that this newer construction 6-bedroom mansion at 1728 N. Cleveland in Lincoln Park had sold in January 2011. (I missed this sale.) We chattered about this house several times as it came on the market less than 2 years after its original sale and was asking $464,000 more than […]
This 3-bedroom single family home at 2730 N. Fairfield in Logan Square just came on the market. It is listed $35,000 under the 2005 purchase price. Built in 2005 on a standard 25×125 lot, the house has an attractive layout with all 3 bedrooms located on the second floor. It has Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout […]
We chattered about this renovated 1-bedroom at 1450 N. Dearborn in the Gold Coast several times over the last 2 years. See our February 2011 chatter here. The kitchen and bathroom had been renovated since the 2004 sale. Even with the renovations, the unit sold for just $5,000 over the 2004 purchase price at $305,000. […]
I know many of you are lovers of the contemporary style. I didn’t move fast enough to post on this newer construction contemporary 5-bedroom home at 1532 W. Wellington in West Lakeview because it has already gone under contract in less than a month. But I wanted to chatter about it anyway. The listing says […]
This 2-bedroom townhouse at 5411 N. Bowmanville in the Bowmanville neighborhood of Lincoln Square recently came on the market. You may never have heard of Bowmanville. It is a little known enclave north of Foster in between Western and Ravenswood in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. For those of you who love Andersonville- it is west of and […]
We last chattered about this vintage 4-bedroom full floor unit at 5012 S. Woodlawn in Kenwood in November 2010. See our prior chatter here. Some of you lamented that this was located in Kenwood and not on the north side and that that would affect its resale value. The unit recently sold for $425,000– or […]
We were recently chattering about million dollar custom homes on the North Side that have been built during the last 2 years, even amidst the worst decline in housing prices in Chicago’s history, that presumably were built on spec. This 6-bedroom new construction mansion at 2038 N. Mohawk in Lincoln Park first came on the market in […]
