Crib Chatter

We last chattered about this 3-bedroom brick single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in the Southport neighborhood of Lakeview in October 2010. See our previous chatter here. We had a very productive discussion about who would live near the El line tracks and at what price. (We also discussed the possibility of the El […]

This 5-bedroom single family home at 2050 W. Churchill in Bucktown was first listed in December 2010 and stayed on the market for 7 months. It never sold. It’s back on the market and has been reduced. I couldn’t find the original 2010 list price but in January 2011 it was listed at $1.199 million. It’s now […]

We last chattered about this 6-bedroom new construction home at 550 W. Oakdale in East Lakeview in August 2012. See our prior chatter here. At that time, it was listed at $3.2 million and we debated whether or not a single family home could sell for that much in that location. Since then, the house […]

I don’t have a picture of this 5-bedroom single family house at 67 E. Bellevue in the Gold Coast even though it’s been on and off the market since September 2010. It’s being sold as a teardown. The listing says “sold as is.” The current house has 3 stories and a 1-car garage on a […]

This 5-bedroom vintage single family home at 1700 W. Wilson in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Uptown came on the market in October 2012. (Sorryabout the massive tree right in the middle of the picture! LOL. It was hard for me to get a good angle on this house.) The listing says it is a mediterranean with a […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom single family home at 1805 W. Cornelia in Roscoe Village several times before. See our October 2012 chatter here. It was originally listed as a single family home on a double lot and then re-listed as two separate lots but now has been relisted again as a home on a double […]

We’ve chattered about this 4-bedroom new(er) construction single family home at 5692 N. New Hampshire in Old Norword Park several times over the last few years because it originally came on the market in 2009. See our 2011 chatter here. It was 5-bedrooms in its last listing and I can’t figure out what happened to […]

We last chattered about this 4-bedroom Colonial Revival at 6270 N. Louise in Historic Old Edgebrook in June 2012. See our prior chatter here. At the time, it was listed at $719,000 and sold in September 2012 at $685,000. Just 6 months later, the house has come back on the market $40,000 higher. It doesn’t appear […]

This 4-bedroom new construction contemporary at 4511 N. Wolcott in Lincoln Square came on the market January 2, 2013. It’s on an oversized lot measuring 25×152 and has a 2-car garage. Three of the four bedrooms are on the second floor and the fourth is on the main level. The lower level has a large […]

This 4-bedroom single family home at 1524 W. Oakdale in Lakeview came on the market last week. I’ve been told that it had several offers within the first 24 hours. I’ve also heard that demand to see it was so strong that there was simply an open house on Sunday for all interested parties and […]
