Inside a Fordham three-bedroom with Realtor Tricia Fox

Posted 2/8/2010 by Joseph Askins

Every month, Keller Williams agent Tricia Fox rents a trolley and guides Realtors and buyers through open houses of similar units in the Streeterville, Gold Coast, River North, and Loop neighborhoods. In December, for example, she took guests to a variety of new-construction condos. Three weekends ago she focused solely on three-bedroom units.

The first place we visited was unit #3702 at the Fordham, at 25 E Superior St. The home's current owners bought the unit new and have used it as a second home, Fox says. Now they're selling it for $1.43 million. Tricia showed me around the home and pointed out some of its features; later we went down to a similar unit on a lower floor, where I was able to see how much a few changes in finish can change the nature of a home. (You'll see that unit in another video.)

Unit #3702 comes with one garage parking spot and the option of a second for an additional $45,000. Estimated monthly assessments are $1,666, and taxes are $15,711, according to Fox's listing.
