This 3-bedroom new construction luxury condo at 3512 N. Southport in the heart of the action in Southport came on the market in July 2009 only one year after it was purchased. It was originally listed $25,000 under the 2008 purchase price and then was reduced further. The unit has upscale finishes like a Viking […]
This 2-bedroom fee simple single family home at 1802 W. Diversey in West Lakeview just might be the kind of space that many buyers have been looking for. The home offers the privacy of a single family home without the maintenance of one. It is located in a gated community and has a homeowner’s fee. The house […]
The rowhomes on Alta Vista Terrace in Lakeview were originally built between 1900-1904 to resemble a street in London. Even today, you feel like you’ve stepped out of Chicago briefly when you venture down the Chicago landmark district block. Homes don’t often come on the market on Alta Vista Terrace, making them “prime” indeed. However, 2 […]
This 2-bedroom vintage unit at 839 S. Laflin in Little Italy has been updated but has not lost its character. The unit still sports high ceilings, crown molding and a fireplace. But the kitchen is modern with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and white cabinets. The unit has central air, an in-unit washer/dryer and appears to have a parking […]
We last chattered about this top floor 2-bedroom unit at 1855 N. Halsted in Lincoln Park in June. See our prior chatter and pictures here. The unit is far from your average top floor cookie-cutter condo with its distinctive staircase and lofted bedroom. It also has a sunken living room and 2-car parking which is included. […]
It’s rare that I get to do a flipper alert these days. But several new condo units for sale by investors have appeared on Craigslist and the MLS for the 83-story Aqua, at 225 N. Columbus, the latest high rise in Lakeshore East. Additionally, a couple are also already available for rent. Of course, there are also […]
This huge 1-bedroom loft at 1020 S. Wabash in the South Loop has been on the market since July. It is being sold “as-is.” It has been reduced several times and is now listed for 69% under the 2007 purchase price. It is also listed for $131,400 under the 2004 purchase price. While only a 1-bedroom, […]

The 4-bedroom house was built in 1926 and has many special features including a lower level with a 1950s lounge, a wine cellar, […]
This 4-bedroom victorian single family home at 4844 N. Ashland in Ravenswood just came on the market listed at a condo price. The listing says it is a “handyman’s special” but it appears to have some good bones. The four bedrooms are on the second floor and the listing says there is hardwood underneath the […]
Last May we chattered about this bank-owned 3-flat at 3510 N. Ashland in Southport. See our chatter and pictures here. At that time it was listed at $386,100 under the 2006 purchase price. It has since been reduced another $87,000 and has now gone under contract. Does this price make sense from an investment perspective? David Piche […]
