Today, I'm back in the car with clients from the fall. They are looking for a two bed, hopefully two bath condo, with some vintage details, but updated kitchens and baths. We looked in the fall in hopes of taking advantage of the First Time Home Buyer Credit, but frankly, we couldn't get our act together fast enough. The credit was extended, but then the holidays came in and here we are. Six weeks later, we're in a great position to buy as there are several new listings on the market.
My clients do not drive, so they have to be close to the Red Line. They would also love to be able to walk to Wrigley. We've realized that Southport Corridor might be tough for the price, but we might be able to swing the south end of Uptown.
The wife is an actress so we get to talk about the Uptown Theaters. There's a nice little storefront theatre scene in Uptown. National Pastime produces a full season but the most noise comes out of Profiles Theatre. Great season - you've got to be willing to see some challenging work - but well worth it. They're doing one of my favorites soon - Killer Joe. It's one of the early pieces by Steppenwolf's own Tracy Letts - and being from the South - it hits a little close to home. Get your tickets soon as it's a small space and it's good.
Again. Roll Tide. Bet they didn't have this weather in Pasadena.
