5 Things You Didn't Know about the North Shore Real Estate Market

5 Things You Didn't Know about the North Shore Real Estate Market

I've just finished doing my monthly real estate market reports for the villages of Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Glencoe, and Northfield. This month, I decided to do a year-to-date report that compares 2013 to 2012.  I found out some interesting things about housing trends in our area.

   1.  Winnetka home prices dropped 6% in 2013.

   3.  Kenilworth had the largest increase in average sale price:  up 11%

   4.  Northfield had the most condo sales both years:  21 and 29 respectively

   5.  Total volume of sales of all 5 villages in 2012 was $488,766,547 and in           2013 it rose to $571,714,154, an increase of 17%!

It is so interesting to see that while some people look at the North Shore and think the towns are indistinguishable, they are in fact, distinctive. Particularly as it relates to real estate.
