How much negotiating room after 103 days for a Chicago condo?

And separate “nice to have” improvements from work needed immediately. Sellers are unlikely to fund every finish choice through a discount, but unresolved building or financing issues deserve a different conversation from replacing cabinets you simply dislike.
 
The practical sequence seems clear: narrow the neighbourhood and property type, verify total market time and withdrawals, collect recent closings, clarify insurance and financing, then ask about seller timing. After that, set a price supported by the closest alternatives and a walk-away number. The 103 days should inform the conversation, not dictate it.
