Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1910 S. State in the South Loop in February 2011. See our prior chatter here. At that time, most of you were debating whether or not this address was really “south loop” or whether it was “North Chinatown.” Listed at that time for $315,000, or $55,000 under the 2004 […]

I’ve gotten a few requests recently to check back in on River City at 800 S. Wells in the South Loop. The last time we chattered about the building was in November 2009. See our 2009 chatter here. It’s more than 18 months later, and foreclosures and short sales are still ravaging the building. Many ask: how […]

This 1-bedroom at 1101 S. State in the South Loop has been on the market since May 2011. It is a short sale and has now been reduced $15,100. This high rise was built in 2004/2005. From what I can tell in the public records, only 2 units have sold in 2011 (there may be some that haven’t […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom at 1515 S. Prairie in the South Loop in November 2009. See our prior chatter here. Listed at $375,000 at that time, most of you thought it was overpriced for a newer construction unit in that location. It was available for sale or for rent. Withdrawn from the market […]

We chattered about this 3-bedroom in this boutique building at 1142 S. Michigan in the South Loop off and on over the last 3 years. (The building is the midrise just to the right of the Colombian in the picture above.) See our March 2010 chatter here. The building only has 8 units and this […]

It’s been awhile since we chattered about the Locomobile Lofts at 2000 S. Michigan in the Motor Row neighborhood of the South Loop. This 1-bedroom loft recently came on the market for just $94,900. It is bank owned. The loft is listed $98,600 under the 2004 purchase price and is the cheapest 1-bedroom currently listed in […]

We last chattered about this 2-bedroom authentic duplex loft in the Filmworks Lofts at 1322 S. Wabash in the South Loop all the way back in October 2008. See our prior chatter and pictures here. At that time, it was listed at $429,000. Bob actually believed it might sell for around $400,000.  (My how things have changed!) […]

This 3-bedroom 61st floor penthouse at One Museum Park at 1211 S. Prairie in the South Loop just came on the market. It is listed $190,600 under the 2009 purchase price of $1,260,500 (if you include 2 parking spaces.) At 1892 square feet, it has a private entrance with lake, city and Grant Park views. The kitchen has cherry […]

This 4-bedroom penthouse at 1400 S. Michigan in the South Loop has been on and off the market since 2008. Since August of 2010 it has been reduced $400,000. At 3471 square feet, it is one of only 2 units on the penthouse floor. It is on the northeast and southeast corner and has not […]

This 2-bedroom duplex loft in Dearborn Tower at 1530 S. State in the South Loop has been on the market since January 2011. The building first sold units in 2001 so most of the finishes are going on 10 years now. The listing for this 10th floor duplex up says it has been renovated and […]
