Late last week, we asked readers to guess the price of a Chicago top-floor two-bedroom condo, with the knowledge that it is a short sale. Here is a brief description of the unit for those that missed the post:

The duplex has over 1,200 square feet of space and it has a large private deck and two fireplaces. The best feature of the home may be the huge loft that serves as the master bedroom (see below).

So how much would you have to plunk down for this property? The price: $235,000. Because it is a short sale, gauging the asking price was not an easy feat. Here is the listing.

The guesses ranged from a low Price is Right $1 to a high of $482,000. Congratulations to Mike for his spot on guess of $235,000. Your UrbanTurf t-shirt is on its way!
