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 coming on the market everyday. Good prices, lots to choose from - who can argue with that?
Here are recent sales for the month of March:
Kenilworth - no closed sales (currently 58 single family homes for sale)
Winnetka - 8 closed sales (currently 214 single family homes for sale) 
- 861 Foxdale $637,500
- 1271 Asbury $892,250
- 645 Maple $1,485,000 (torn down)
- 1189 Oakley $1,550,000
- 100 Longmeadow $2,650,000
- 675 Locust $3,150,000
- 700 Ardsley $4,050,000
- 919 Hill $6,200,000
Good news for upper end listings with 6 of the 8 sales over $1,400,000!
Wilmette - 12 Closed sales (currently 232 single family homes for sale)
- 440 Prairie $275,000
- 430 Pine Manor $310,000
- 900 Pawnee $389,000
- 407 Sandy $500,000
- 2534 Wilmette $505,000

- 2132 Beechwood $950,000
- 2707 Hawthorn $1,160,000

OK, so it was a slow start to the Spring market. Cold and nasty weather has kept us all indoors way beyond what feels good and I think the sales volume above reflects that. I keep repeating this: if you have job security right now, then this is the time to buy a new house. Yes, you will sell for less, but as a move up buyer you will buy at prices not seen since the turn of the century (I've been dying to use that term!) Sellers are ready to talk to you more than ever before.
Call me to get information about more great deals. I know of several: more than several actually.
