This 4-bedroom single family home at 722 W. Buckingham in Lakeview had been on the market since June 2008 and was recently withdrawn. It hadn’t had any price reductions. Thanks to the tipster who sent me information about this listing. Just before it was withdrawn at the end of November, the agent had this interesting […]
Lincoln Square was once considered an “affordable” up and coming neighborhood before the housing boom- and now- not so much. This 2-bedroom duplex at 2455 W. Leland has been on the market since June 2008 and has had three price reductions. This duplex seems to have it all (central air/fireplace/w/d)- except a deeded parking space. What’s […]
We’ve chattered about new construction modern style homes before. This 7000-square foot new construction single family home at 3124 N. Leavitt in West Lakeview is certainly intriguing. It has also been reduced $740k since February 2008. Here’s the listing: MOD. ARCHITECTURE AT ITS BEST. LINK DEVELOPMENT’S FINEST PROJECT 7000+SF ON OVERSIZE CORNER LOT,BEST FINISH & CRAFTSM, […]
We last chattered about this 18-unit new loft building at 154 W. Hubbard in River North in September 2007 when it was 50% sold. It looks like the developer has sold all the remaining units. But one 2-bedroom has now come back on the market as a resale. Will this seller see any appreciation after […]
Are the Marina Towers, the iconic corn cob buildings on the Chicago River at 300 N. State, “hot” now that Trump Tower is built nearly next door? Some sellers in the building seem to think so. Take this 1-bedroom unit on the 31st floor. It’s been listed since 2006 and hasn’t had a price reduction in almost […]
How many empty new construction million dollar homes are there on the north side of the city? Someone should tabulate them because it’s got to be several hundred. This is another one that is empty and waiting for a buyer at 4112 N. Claremont in the North Center neighborhood. It’s been on the market since […]
This 2-bedroom unit at 749 W. Wellington in Lakeview has been on the market since last February and has been reduced several times. The listing was recently canceled and then re-listed- at a higher price. I’m assuming the price change now includes the parking (and before that parking was “extra”.) Here’s the listing: Sunny bright & […]
This 2400-square foot brick loft at 1200 N. Wells in Old Town is what a “loft” is supposed to look like. Tall ceilings, open space and a ton of brick. Although the listing calls it “loft-like.” If this unit isn’t a loft- what is it then? Here’s the listing: Dramatic, rarely available 2400+ sqft River North/Old Town […]
Last May we had quite the discussion about this 3-bedroom vintage unit at 522 W. Briar in East Lakeview that was renovated and seemed to have “everything” except parking. I had asked a simple question: Why isn’t this selling? Six months later, it still hasn’t sold and has been reduced another $30,000. Here’s the listing: […]
