Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Northfield October Home Sales - homes sales are down for the month of October compared to September and August.

kenilworth: Winnetka & North Shore Suburbs - Cook County Tax Bills Have Arrived - 10/30/09 04:19 PM
Every buyer I have ever worked with has asked me to explain the Cook County system of property tax assessment. Explain? How could I adequately do this when the Civic Federation says this on their blog:

kenilworth: Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe - Foreclosues and Short Sales - 10/10/09 04:15 PM
Just a few years ago, the bewildering words "short sale" were starting to pop up in our realtor meetings. No one really bothered to learn much about them since things like that didn't happen on the North Shore. Maybe in Evanston, Chicago, or the south suburbs.
Not so today. … (2 comments)
kenilworth: September House Sales for Winnetka, Wilmette, Northfield, Kenilworth & Glencoe - 10/01/09 03:15 PM
Another month, another set of stats. Sales are still below average (what is average nowadays, anyway?) Sale prices have continued with downward pressure - except when priced properly. As I've shown month after month, competitive price = quick sale and more profit. It's really that simple.
Winnetka - 12 closed sales … (0 comments)
kenilworth: August Real Estate Sales for Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth and Glencoe - 09/01/09 03:18 PM
The August real estate sales for Winnetka,Wilmette, Northfield, Kenilworth and Glencoe have dipped and jumped like a roller coaster. From month to month there is no steady increase or decrease that I can make any predictions about.
The one thing I noticed in Winnetka is that 2/3 of the sold homes … (0 comments)
The historically low interest rates that we have been seeing in the last few years apply only to "conforming" loans, or those less than $417,000. If you need to borrow more than that amount, your are … (0 comments)

kenilworth: April Closed Sales in Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe - 05/04/09 02:59 PM
April was another nasty-weather month and I wonder how much it affected the sales of homes. Certainly, the Spring Housing Market has gotten off to a slow start. Here are some closed sale stats for the month:
Winnetka: 2 closed sales
265 Poplar $740,000
331 Linden $1,250,000

kenilworth: Kenilworth's Townley Field to Remain "Green" - 04/27/09 06:40 PM
Several weeks ago I wrote a post about the possibility of Townley Field in Kenilworth being replaced by artificial turf (see Townley Field in Kenilworth Going" Ungreen"?)
The question was put to rest on Election Day when 81% of voters decided not to opt for artificial turf, even if private donations … (0 comments)
kenilworth: Recent Sales in Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth & Glencoe - 04/23/09 04:55 PM
I'm still wondering where all you buyers are. . . a few of you have stepped up and bought a home, taking advantage of the large inventory and deflated prices. The majority of homes on the North Shore (Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe) are competitively priced to sell with new listings … (0 comments)

kenilworth: Townley Field in Kenilworth Going "Ungreen"? - 04/03/09 06:00 PM
Townley Field is a 3.4 acre field located just behind and south of Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth. Having had two children make their way through this K-8 school, I am too aware of the field's shortcomings. The field hosts innumerable events including football, soccer, track and field, and a winter … (0 comments)
kenilworth: Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, and Glencoe Closed Sales February 09 - 03/27/09 01:37 PM
Last month I wrote a post (http://activerain.com/blogsview/923418/Market-Stats-for-Winnetka-Kenilworth-Wilmette-IL) about closed home sales for Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth and Glencoe. I found it interesting that even in the current economic climate, sales were exactly the same (22 single family homes) for January 2008 as for January 2009.
Guess what? Closed sales for February 2009 … (0 comments)

It's not news that Chicago's tony north shore suburbs of Kenilworth, Winnetka, Wilmette and Glencoe have been seeing a number of foreclosures. We always thought we were immune and somehow protected from the greater ravages of the economic downturn. But slowly, the MLS is revealing some disturbing area news.

This January we had 22 closed sales for single family homes in Winneta, Kenilworth, and Glencoe.
