Evanston IL is continuing to be a very popular location for buyers, I have been a resident since 1979 at age 21 and during that time I have seen huge growth in the community. Evanston has become a desired location for all ages there is so much to do. People love the parks, the beaches and all the events Evanston provides. Don't get me wrong I love the city of Chicago but Evanston is quiet, tree lined and easy to park. There are so many great restaurants interesting stores and entertainment anyone would enjoy.

The Evanston market sounds like it is booming and inventory remains low like everywhere else in the country.  Great market update.

Hi Noah - Great market update for Evanston, and those trends look very familiar, with lower inventory and new listings, but sales still going strong. It's a difficult market, but you have the skills and market knowledge to make it work for your clients.

Noah, I echo what Dick Greenberg said. Trends look familiar in my market as well. It seems like only yesterday so many were losing their homes to foreclosure and short selling.  My how things have changed.
