WILMETTE IL HOME OF THE WEEK This week I saw a very nice 3,100 sq. ft home that’s move-in-ready. Freshly painted in neutral decor with a fabulous screened porch (that could be made into a year-round room,) updated kitchen, and great baths. Upon walking in, you’ll see a wide-open floor plan with the living and dining rooms. Adjacent, there is an office (could be a family room) and then the updated kitchen with island and eat-in table space. The bedrooms are roomy, there’s a large master bath and one hall bath, plus a 2-car heated garage (thumb your nose at the polar vortex!) Finished basement with rec room, utility room, and play room. Address:  2437 Cardinal Lane, Wilmette ILBedrooms:  4Bathrooms: 2 12Lot size: 73 x 116Exterior: Brick and sidingElementary school:  RomonaHigh school:  Ne... 02/01/2019

WILMETTE IL 2018 REAL ESTATE REVIEW In Wilmette, 2017 and 2018 were almost fairly similar years for real estate statistics. Look at this chart comparing the two years: Total sales were down only slightly (by ten units,) the median price was down by 2.7%, list price to sell price ratio was exactly the same, and market time was down by 20 days. One soft spot in the market is the new construction segment which is seeing a much longer market time. Buyers are still very hot on purchasing new homes, but they are willing to wait it out for price reductions.  Market time ran between 80-90 days for properties priced below $2 million. Above that price point, the market time rose to an average of 172 days. Current Wilmette Real Estate Market: Homes for sale: 110Price range: $299,000 to $3,600,000U... 01/10/2019
