Wilmette had a little dip in its real estate market in 2017 but has recovered in 2018. It continues to be the most popular North Shore village for buyers because of its diverse housing stock, great downtown area, and proximity to transportation and shopping. FIRST-HALF HOUSING REPORT FOR WILMETTE 2018, 2017, AND 2007  In comparing sales for the first six months of 2017 vs 2018, I also decided to throw 2007 into the mix. Buyers and sellers often ask if Wilmette real estate has returned to its pre-recession numbers and I finally see that Wilmette is getting close. Several things stand out in this chart. First, the total number of sales was much lower in 2007 - but this makes sense. The market was hot because there were more buyers than sellers so fewer houses to buy. The 2nd line shows th... 07/06/2018

Comparing the first quarter of 2017 real estate statistics to the first quarter of 2018 shows varied, unpredictable, and conflicting trends. Observations about the North Shore real estate market: Winnetka's total number of closed home sales is lower this year but the median sales price is up.Wilmette's numbers are almost exactly the same from 2017 to 2018.Kenilworth is too small to make sense of the numbers over a 3-month period of time. In other words, the median sales price did not almost double.Glencoe saw a substantial increase in both total sales and median price. But the total days on market rose by 43%.In Northfield the comparison is fairly stable except for the days on market which rose 89%!Glenvew saw prices rise, sales rise, and market time stay steady.Glencoe has the most ove... 05/03/2018

 UPDATED 2019 Both buyers and sellers often ask if they need to attend the closing of the home they just purchased or sold. It can be a tedious affair and who wants to sit around for hours waiting for funding,  survey corrections, walkthrough resolutions, and a myriad of other little matters that can cause delays. The closing itself a process where the home buyer and seller fulfill all the agreements that were written into the purchase contract. Money and possession are being transferred. In Winnetka and the North Shore, closings are typically held at title companies where a closing agent handles all the paperwork details. The closer takes all the documents and money and pays off the old loans, the seller, the real estate agents, the attorney, and any other service providers. So the clo... 04/16/2018

There were many closings in January throughout the villages. This means that the usually quiet months of October through December were busy last year - including many high-end homes that sold and closed. Included in the reports (click on your village to access report) is the absorption rates which have lowered dramatically over the past 15 months. At one time, Kenilworth's absorption rate was about 18 months and is down to 7 months. That is still considered a buyer's market but it's still a remarkable and hopeful change.
