About Chicago's Streeterville

I've written twice before about fire safety, once after a friend’s home sustained significant damage after an appliance caught fire and again after I took my children to a fire station for a tour and safety demonstration.

Are you ready to deal? How about a 600 Lake Shore Drive condo new construction condo one block off beaches and Lake Shore Drive for a bargain? I just sold another condo here and I want to get one myself. This sounds like cheese but there are deals to be had!

Go and make a deal or let me make one for you!

I just finished an article written in Crains Chicago and am blown away as to how much new home sales are down in the Gold Coast neighborhood. It will be less than half the units sold in 2007 for the first six months AND it would only be 1/4 if you take out the Spire contracts.

This is really bad news for the new homes market and when buying a new home you should take this into serious consideration when negotiating with your builder.

I just successfully negotiated a new downtown condo down from $799,000 to $715,000 but couldn't get any more after three additional attempts.

Sometimes you have to know when to say enough...Gold Coast volume for the quarter is down 14% however median prices are up 2.44% as compared with 2007 (however that includes new and resale)
