the Chicago-area home featured in the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" has found a buyer. COLDWELL BANKER
The Chicago-area home where Ferris Bueller's friend Cameron famously "killed" his father's prized Ferrari finally has a new owner.
Crain's Chicago Business reports that the modernist home in Highland Park sold Thursday for $1.06 million, five years after it first came on the market.
Craig Hogan is regional director at Coldwell Banker Previews. He wouldn't say who bought the four-bedroom, steel-and-glass house built on the edge of a wooded ravine.
The house, built in 1953 by Mies van der Rohe-protege A. James Speyer, was first put on the market in 2009 listed at $2.3 million.
The sleek house was featured in John Hughes' 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" as the home of Cameron Frye (played Alan Ruck). After the Ferrari crashes through the glass into the ravine, Ferris (Matthew Broderick) tells Cameron: "You killed the car."

I actually liked Ferris Sister. And damn you, Jennifer Grey for ruining that gorgeous nose.

Agreed. In the scheme of homes prices (at least in the DC area and I would figure Chicago was the same) where you can’t even get into a cracker box single family home in a sketchy neighborhood for less than half a million, that seems inexpensive.

Were the house in a more moderate climate, and more practically laid out for more than a wealthy childless couple, it might have some merit. The setting is really all you get as it is.

Here’s what I never understood about the movie. It takes place in Chicago, but Cameron is wearing a Red Wings Sweater. That does not make sense. He's Cameron...that's why!
