We last chattered about this 2-bedroom triplex loft in the Carriage Park Lofts at 1448 N. Orleans in Old Town in August 2008. It is still on the market and has been reduced by $25,000. Back in August 2008, some of you thought it was overpriced. See the pictures and our chatter here. Here’s its history again: […]
Not every address on the north side of Lake Shore Drive is a high rise. We’ve chattered before about several million dollar homes and condos in small boutique buildings. Then there is this 2-bedroom duplex with its own private terrace at 3700 N. Lake Shore Drive. Built in 1980, the complex consists of 52 units. The listing […]
We haven’t done a McMansion foreclosure for awhile. This 3-bedroom single family home at 2426 N. Rockwell in Logan Square just came on the market and is bank owned. It looks like fairly new construction (2006-2007) and sold in 2007 with 100% financing (twice). Is this a deal? Here’s it’s history: 2426 N. Rockwell: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, […]
We chattered about rental “deals” in One Museum Park, at 1211 S. Prairie, on Grant Park in the South Loop in November 2008. At that time, you could either buy a 1460 square foot 2/2 for $890,000 (including the parking) or you could rent it for a list price of $2700 a month (including the parking.) […]
630 N. State in River North is one of those buildings that you probably have walked by or driven by a hundred times but don’t really notice. It is, however, situated right in the heart of the “action”- surrounded by hotels and restaurants and not far from the Mag Mile. This 3-bedroom penthouse unit has […]
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’ve often chattered about condo units with private terraces and this 2-bedroom at 1250 S. Indiana in the South Loop has a large one. It’s also a corner unit so both bedrooms have windows. The unit was recently reduced by $14,000 and is listed below its 2005 sales price. Is this a deal? Alan Shultz at […]
The Anchor Lofts at 215 W. Illinois was one of the first loft conversions in River North so they are large and have more “authentic” features. We last chattered about Unit #4C, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, in October 2008. Since then, it has been reduced again, by another $49,000. According to the listing, the unit has 11 […]
“Starter” condos have become rare in East Lakeview in the past few years as prices have skyrocketed. But this 1-bedroom at 636 W. Waveland is actually listed under $200,000 and it has a washer/dryer in the unit. It’s also been reduced $11,500. Or- if you still feel like renting- there is a rent to own option […]
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. […]
