We last chattered about this 2-bedroom unit at 1208 W. Webster in September 2008. Since then it was withdrawn from the market and recently re-listed- with a $20,000 reduction. See the pictures here. Here’s the history: Unit #4: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1325 square feet Sold in February 2002 for $355,000 Sold in August 2006 for […]
This single family home at 3449 N. Paulina in West Lakeview appears to have it all: 3 bedrooms, the all-important 2 baths (instead of just 1 or 1.5), central air, a backyard and a garage. The listing says it is extra wide- with 20′ wide interior. Many would consider this home to be a “condo-alternative.” Will this property […]
Many of you are interested in investing in multi-unit buildings with the hope that you can cover your costs by renting out the units. This new construction 2-flat at 710 W. Melrose in Lakeview claims that if you “do the math” the “numbers really work!” Do they? Both units are 3-bedroom, 3-bath duplexes. Both are […]
Remember this 3-bedroom 2600 square foot Wicker Park unit at 1530 N. Paulina with the “secret” staircase to the duplex down? We chattered about it in July 2008. See the pictures here. It was reduced $15,000 before the listing was cancelled in September 2008. Will it be back to test the market again in 2009? Here’s its history: […]
I’ve been getting some requests to chatter about these 2 modern single family homes at 2223 W. Race and 2225 W. Race in the Ukranian Village/West Town by Studio Dwell Architects. YoChicago also recently did a post on all of Studio Dwell’s current buildings. Both homes are still available, although 2225 W. Race was recently pulled off […]
We last chattered about this coach house at 29 W. Chestnut in the Gold Coast in August 2008. It is still on the market and has been reduced…but only by $5,000. See the last chatter here. Marlene Saint George at Baird and Warner still has the listing. Check out the listing and see more pictures here. 29 W. Chestnut Coach House: […]
In May 2008, we chattered about whether or not having parking with a condo unit mattered. Read our chatter here. 2123 N. Kenmore, a 3-bedroom, 2 bath unit, in Lincoln Park seemed to have “everything” except a parking spot. It is still on the market 8 months later and has been reduced by $30,000. Suzanne […]
Sellers continue to struggle to make any profit in 1720 S. Michigan, the 498-unit building in the South Loop that started closings in the summer of 2007. See pictures of the interior of the units in the building in our old chatter here. Not only do sellers have to contend with other flippers, but the developer has […]
We chattered about this 3-bedroom contemporary townhouse at 1401 W. Berteau in Lakeview in September 2008. See pictures and our chatter here. Since then, nothing has changed. The townhouse is still for sale, a “paint credit” is still “negotiable” and the price is unchanged at $660,000. But at least the snowy pictures are now current. […]
Recently, it has come up in discussion that most of the properties highlighted on Crib Chatter are of the more expensive variety. Someone posted that he was looking for a simple 2/2 in a north side city neighborhood for under $200,000. You can find that at 4948 N. Troy in Albany Park. Okay- so when you add in […]
