ravenswood: Bottom of the Chicago Market? Just some thoughts... - 06/22/07 08:18 PM
Sorry for the tiny, somewhat weak rant here but... We just had a little conversation in my brokerage the other day about the bottom of the market. It is also a common theme we hear from some "would be" home buyers... "I'll wait until next year, or, two years from now and get the same condo for half the price!"Unfortuantely, it doesn't work this way. If there is a bottom of the market then builders will stop building and converting units... rent out their existing units or sell for a slight discount over the other sold units. Existing units in nice … (3 comments)

ravenswood: The North, South, East and West of neighborhoods in Chicago - 06/22/07 07:11 PM
As the title suggests, there are not just Chicago neighborhoods, but four sides to every Chicago neighborhood. Man, people love their BLOCKS in this town, and sometimes name them too! Andersonville is no exception.
I have lived in Andersonville and the Ravenswood neighborhoods a couple times... currently own a home in NORTH Ravenswood. However, the whole direction thing hit me some time ago when I walked down North Ravenswood Avenue in Chicago. Therie were these sighs alond the parkway btween the street and the Metra tracks... West Andersonville Gardens. Here's a look:
I like a good walk, and these days a walk with … (0 comments)

ravenswood: Who's buying Chicago Real Estate? The needy - 05/05/07 10:18 PM
So my new condo building "developer turn-over" meeting turns into a raging party Thursday evening (if I didn't answer your call or email... now you know). Turns out, everyone in our intimate six unit Ravenswood hamlet can GET IT DONE when you light up the bar-b-que and pass around the Peroni and Mondavi. I know, I know, Mondavi... it was a house warming gift. Even mom and dad (us truly) can still get it done.During one of the rapid rounds of conversation, my next door neighbor asked me soemthing like "what you think about real estate now that things are going … (0 comments)

ravenswood: Secret million dollar homes in Ravenswood - 05/05/07 09:32 PM
Who wants to be a Ravenswood Millionaire?
Ravenswood is a North Side neighborhood in Chicago experiencing it's share of growth and appreciation. Six miles from downtown, Ravenswood offers many amenities you would like... public transportation, tree lined streets, parks, retail/restaurants, and a good mix of housing stock.
The historical boundaries are North Clark Street to the east, the Chicago River to the west, Foster Avenue to the north, and Irving Park Road to the south. Those new to Chicago generally do not have much knowledge of this area ...even though it's home to million dollar plus homes and half million dollar condos.

ravenswood: Balcony almost kills deal - 05/05/07 09:10 PM
The Balcony: Condo Association or Owners?
"Who's line is it anyway?" is a terrific comedy improvisational television game show that features "players" making up lines and actions depending on one theme. Say you throw out "new home buyers in Chicago" and the players make up a hilarious scene of bumbling through the home buying process. Maybe Al Capone is your Realtor... you get it? Hilarious.But when it comes to common areas, limited common areas and your condo unit's repairs and maintenance you don't want to hear; whose line is it anyway? As an owner, you want to know who has the … (0 comments)

Three bedroom condos with all the features you want? Must see Ravenswood and Bowmanville
In a city like Chicago, as in most city I suppose, there is only so much you can get in certain neighborhoods. Renting a one bedroom and want to buy a three bedroom? Here is a common scenario I run into when meeting upwardly mobile, but first time buyers, in Chicago.
Recently, I have been working with several clients looking to move up into a three bedroom home. These particular clients have lived in the Lakeview and Lincoln Park neighborhoods for the past several years. Now, they would like … (0 comments)
