Today, the Wall Street Journal looks at the state of Trump Tower Chicago, at 401 N. Wabash in River North, and the financial implications for Donald Trump. The timing, as we’ve chattered about, is far from ideal for the building. So far, Mr. Trump has lined up buyers for a bit less than $600 million […]
The listing calls it a “Lincoln Park Penthouse” but this 2-bedroom at 2819 N. Lakewood is north of Diversey, which makes it Lakeview in my book. First listed in March 2008, this 2005 construction unit is still sitting on the market. Here’s the listing: Gorgeous Lincoln Park Penthouse! 2 bedroom/ 2 bath, soaring 14′ ceilings, […]
We’ve chattered about a lot of the 1920s and 1930s co-op and condominium buildings that line Lake Shore Drive on the North Side of the city. 3400 N. Lake Shore Drive in Lakeview is another of those buildings. Built in 1922, it has 49 units. This 3-bedroom ground floor unit doesn’t have fantastic views, but […]
This 8-unit building at 1016 W. Madison in the West Loop was converted into condominiums in 1998 but you won’t see any exposed brick here. However, you will still see 14-foot ceilings. A 1850-square foot unit is on the market. Here’s the listing: Designer Specified & Executed Home In Chic West Loop Boutique Bldg. Elegant […]
We’ve chattered about this 3-bedroom unit in the The Manor House, at 1021 W. Bryn Mawr, in Edgewater twice before.

Here’s the listing: Amazing 3-level 3 bed 2 bath in classic historic building. ‘The Manor House’ […]
Ah, the elusive 1-bedroom condo with parking in Southport. This 1-bedroom at 1148 W. Roscoe first sold in July 2005 as new construction. That was at the peak of the market. Who’s going to be buying it now? Here’s the listing: Trying to find a one bedroom in the Lakeview/Southport Corridor/Wrigleyville areas with newer finishes, […]
This 1930s Georgian at 10301 S. Leavitt in Beverly is bank-owned. It was originally listed in August 2008 and has had a series of aggressive price reductions. This bank doesn’t appear to be messing around. There are no interior pictures (sorry.) Here’s the listing: Beautiful Beverly Georgian style home. Sold as is. No disclosures, no […]
We’ve chattered a lot about renting versus owning. Here’s a single family house at 1655 W. Hollywood in Andersonville that you can either buy or rent. Which is the better deal? Here’s the listing: This Brick Andersonville 4 bedroom, 3.5 baths home was built for the chef and entertainer in you. The kitchen has an […]
Steve wanted to chatter about a seller actually making money in this market so he brought up 1864 N. Fremont, Unit #2 in Lincoln Park. It is currently under contract after a little over 2 months on the market. Will this seller make money? Here’s the listing: No Assmt!! Prime Lincoln Park 3bed/2.1bath Duplex-up. Has Presence & […]
If you bought within the last 2-years and have to sell now, it’s tough to make any profit. Just ask the sellers of this 1890s home at 925 W. Fullerton in a landmark district in Lincoln Park. It is listed for $86,000 less than the 2006 purchase price. Is the lack of parking hurting this home? (Apparently, […]
