This is a combined unit and I just noticed the sold price is $500,000. This is really a great price for a combined 1,800 square feet unit. This unit has great view to the city and this was a short sale, the asking price was $428,310. The new owner would like to upgrade the whole unit, they might split the two units and sell one of the units. This is a great purchase, I am happy for the new owner who has make a very wise choice!
Lakefront Children’s Academy
May 16th, 2009 · Uncategorized
Both of my daughters are going to the Lakefront Children’s Academy for some months now. They are in different classes. We love all the teachers there. This week was the teachers appreciation week, so we got lots of gifts for all the teachers in the day care. My kids are so happy to prepare the gifts for their teachers. The older one mentioned that she could not waiting for the morning to give the gifts. Recently I have a friend who wants to transfer her daughter to this place and I told her lots of benefit for it. The best part I like is they teacher lots of things, this is really beneficial for people like me since I am so busy with both of them, I really do not have so much time to sit down and teach them stuff, so when I see the they could cut a circle or read some words, I am very happy and proud of them too. Another good thing is that people come here from the neighborhood so that we get to know lots of our neighbors and we could get to play with them as well.
New thoughts from showings in the neighborhood
May 16th, 2009 · Uncategorized
Since I have been living in the neighborhood for a few years, I have noticed changes when people buy units these days. It used to be the views for everyone, such as Harbor Point, 155 N Harbor Dr. I remember that I had a clients wants to buy a unit 12 and 13 so bad and I had to ask people if they would like to sell their units. But now we could see that all of these units are on the markets, yes, their price is high but at the same time these units are not gone in one day like before. There are a few reasons for this, one is that the price is high, second is that the assessment is high, such as the 3210 at the 155 N Harbor Dr. this is a short sale unit with listing price for $404,000. This is a great price , but non of my clients want to offer on it due to the high assessment fees. Although this unit has great views to the lake, it is on the market for more than 3 weeks now. I also noticed that there are a few 06 units of 195 N Harbor on sale now, since these units are facing the Harbor Point building, although, it has views to the lake and the park, but people do consider about it is looking at another building. I remember when we bought our unit in 2007, we bought it in 4 days, since there are not so many these kind of unit on the market. So it is a great time to buy now since you could choose from so many places.
