One thing is certain - numbers don't lie. Looking at these charts shows our local market as clearly as possible over the past five years. You'll notice only 4 years are listed below and that is because I felt that 2020's statistics are meaningless. For single-family homes, home prices marched up and market time dropped. The list-to-sell ratio also went up indicating that home prices sold at close to their list price. Total home sales skyrocketed in 2022 and then declined in the following two years. Condo sales look different. The total sold and the median price still match the single-family home's trajectory. But the market time and price ratio wobbled around.  Currently, inventory continues to stay stubbornly low and buyers are still frustrated with having to deal with multiple offers ...

What Sold in Your North Shore Village in February? Homes that closed in February were unusually low across all villages. That will begin to change as the inventory increases and homes sell quickly. The spring market has started - not only by the calendar but by the warm weather.Every single village had a slight increase in the median sale price over the past 12 months. And every village had an even slighter increase in inventory. The months-supply-of-inventory has stayed virtually the same.  WINNETKAClick here to see all Winnetka homes sold in February 2024All homes for sale:  25Current month's supply of inventory:  1.7Past 12 months median price: $1,620,000See Winnetka homes for saleSee Winnetka condos for saleSee Winnetka townhouses for sale WILMETTEClick here to see all Wilmette home...

Wilmette had a sale for $125,000 and one for $1,150,000. There's truly something for everyone - if you're fast!Please note on the chart below that you can now click on the village's name in blue and see all the sales for the year.   While you're here, please see all North Shore condos for sale(plus 37 more for sale on the Private MLS - call me for more information)  Winnetka Condos Townhouses Wilmette Condos Townhou...

Hard to believe that January is over and we are already on  the 5th day of February, 2024!  Inventory in single family homes is slowly increasing with the following stats as of the Week of February 5, 2024:There are 31 active listings, of which  5 are brand new listings (7 days or less), 5 have price changes (new construction) and the remaining 19 are active listings.  These are all single family detached homes.There are 61 listings under contract.  Three pending listings and two listings have already closed in February.There are 12 listings  in the private broker only category that will eventually go to the public site if they are not sold before.How many homes were sold in January, 2024 in the single family detached  category??  There was a total of 19 homes sold in January, 2024.   T...

Hubbard Woods Winnetka Real Estate for December 2023Hubbard Woods sales were slow in December but that's normal. Predictions are for mortgage rates to lower and steady out in 2024. As the year progressed, there were fewer wildly over-the-list-price bids but many homes still sold close to or at the asking price. The following chart shows the contrast between 2022 and 2023.    Total Home Sales Median Price Average Days On Market 2022 70 $1,620,000 34 2023 59 $1,536,000 48   NO NEW HUBBARD WOODS HOMES FOR SALE IN DECEMBER 1 NEW PRIVATE HUBBARD WOODS LISTING IN DECEMBER  1045 Starr: $4,350,000   2 CLOSED HUBBARD WOODS LISTINGS IN OCTOBER 870 Heater List price $1,189,000 Sold price: $1,185,000 Days on market: 14 1210 Whitebridge List price: $1,750,000 Sold price: $1,675,000 Days on market: 3...

21 Kids Will be Biking After Christmas.     How do I know this you may ask? I know this because I helped collect then repair then deliver those same 21 bikes to the local Kankakee, IL Salvation Army. They have a Toyland event where local underprivelaged families can come to the Salvation Army gym that has been all set up with rows and rows of tables filled with donated toys and games. The families usually fill out a wish list for their children and when they arrive at the Toyland, a Salvation Army volunteer walks them through and helps find the perfect, special toy on the wish list.      The bicycles all come from Project Re:Cycle, which is a local bicycle 501c3 charity. They get over 150 bicycles a year donated from the local police departments and the local bike shop. They are in vari...
