Both buildings are newer with great locations.en-ushttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Tucson_AZ-54382/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Tucson_AZ-54382/One of the primary rules of online communication in a question-and-answer platform is to answer the QUESTION at the top of the page. We depart from that rule when we start to point unkindly at other people in the discussion thread. Instead, understand that the best response to a poorly worded or uninformed post is a post that is well written and contains useful content. A good answer speaks for itself. Disparaging comments are unacceptable.

Maple recently, and the units at 1122 N. Clark are larger...2-bds are 50 to 100 sf smaller at 111 W. Maple, so it makes sense that their market value would be somewhat lower. Also, sellers in 111 W. Maple are doing a much better job of "finding the market" with their lower pricing. Several units have gone under contract in less than 30 days while 1122 N. Clark units are taking longer to move (nothing is under contract in the building right now). And there is always the matter of how updated and upgraded individual units are relative to others.

Many times in the Chicago downtown/Gold Coast market, garage space is deeded and sold seperately from the condo unit. Parking spaces in this area can range from $35K on up. Sometimes sellers choose to combine the price of the parking with the condo which makes the listing price higher. Building ammenities effect the price of a condo also...Is there an elevator, pool, health club, spa, restaurant, 24 hour doorman, concierge and/or dry cleaner in the building? All of these factor in the value and thus the pricing of condos in the downtown and Gold Coast area in Chicago.

So if ONE agent "slashed" the listing price of his/her unit, it would have little effect on the value of the other units in the building. Please don't answer a question if you have no idea what you're talking about..Thu, 08 May 2008 09:55:15 -0700http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Home_Buyer-08817-10230/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Home_Buyer-08817-10230/In general, listing agent is the person to slash the listing price, so the unlucky seller hit a big slasher, then the listing price would be low. And, of course, if you are a buyer, you will get a great deal, but then after your deal close, the whole community collapsed on price, now that new slashed price become the so-called market price.Thu, 08 May 2008 08:49:06 -0700
