It's time to see if houses in North Barrington are selling in 2013, compared to 2012 for the same period, and whether we are on a recovering path or still fairly static. If you read the papers or online news you'll likely have heard that real estate is flying off the shelves in some areas. Multiple offers are back and inventory is needed. Hopefully you'll also have seen that Illinois is one of the slowest states to recover. Real estate is always local, right down to community level, and so what matters to you is what goes on in North Barrington. The picture on the left shows the homes sold in North Barrington every year from  2007 to 2012. You can see the trend is going up. North Barrington Home Sales 2013 Now to 2013. During January through to the end of March there were 10 homes sold.... 04/08/2013

North Barrington real estate activity in December 2012 There were 3 listings closed in December 2012 and surprisingly one of those was a vacant lot.  December 2011 it was 2. During the whole year 2012 we had 55 closings. Compare that to 2011 when there were 48. I always say it takes more than 2 data points to see a trend so the chart below shows closings since 2007 which was the year real estate really started to slide. It is interesting to note that 2008, 2009, 2010 were jumping around a little but there's also no doubt we are doing much better now. There was a considerable jump from 2010 to 2011 sales, more so than 2011 to 2012 but I think I'll stick my neck out and say North Barrington sales in 2013 will be above 50.

This lovely old American Four Square home and acreage sold and closed  Thursday 9/27/2012 to my buyer clients. Located at 112 Old Barrington Rd in North Barrington the property appealed because the house was in good condition and although the land is in need of rejuvenation, it is destined to become what it once was – a glorious horse property of 6.4 acres with barn, paddocks and pastures. I look forwad to visiting in a few months time to see the transformation and of course to meet the 3 horses destined to live there. 10/01/2012

This year is absolutely flying by and real estate in Barrington is certainly picking up. More enquiries, more buyers, more sales and more closings. North Barrington real estate is likely showing the same pattern but it's not a very big village so the gains may look small. The important thing to know is that the Barrington zip in general has 22% more sales this year than for the same time last year. Wynstone in North Barringtonhas suffered a big loss in values over the last 5 years or so, and it is important for us to monitor Wynstone separately from North Barrington real estate to see if things really are looking better. Today I am going to use the first quarters sales and compare to the second quarter just finished. I also want to calculate an average cost per square footage based on s... 07/17/2012

Having just secured a new home in North Barrington for my relocating clients from Pennsylvania, I once again find myself satisfied that not only did I secure the perfect house for them as tenants, but my patience is what got us there. It's funny that when you are blessed with a gift and always have been, you never really think about it. It's true I do have a lot of patience. Having been told by client after client every year that they appreciated my patience, it shouldn't surprise me that again my client thanks me, in her words, for my "unending patience". I consider it to be my job, but have to say it is very nice that people not only recognize it but go out of their way to thank me for it. On this occasion it was more a matter of waiting for the relocation documents to be signed, seal... 07/02/2012

As I start this post I almost wonder before I do my research what the results will show me. Why, well I guess it's because I watch the Barrington real estate sales and new listings every day and in my mind I have a note to self about how many homes there are for sale in Wynstone in the price around $800,000. My recall tells me it's a lot. Let's take a look. In fact there are 13 homes for sale between $700,000 and $900,000 with prices from $745,000 to $894,000. All are 4 or 5 bedroom homes. In one subdivision that's a lot of competition in a set price range. 9 of these homes have reduced their price, some more than $100,000. The size of the homes is not necessarily in line with the price either. Property number two for example with a price of $747,000 down from $895,000 has more square f... 10/21/2011

Who knows by the end of the year m... 04/01/2011

Selling Homes in North Barrington and Overcoming Objections It is a glorious day in North Barrington today. With tempratures in the mid 70's, a gentle breeze and not a cloud in the sky, what better day to show a new listing to a buyer client of mine. We set out at 11am to see a home in North Barrington on a large lot. The home has the right amount of space for my buyers-not too small and not too large. Many of the homes in the North Barrington are just too big for 2 empty nesters. A mental checklist told both the buyer and myself that this might just be the perfect property. From entering the home and seeing the expansive views it is clear we are off to a great start. The kitchen is just fabulous, all upgraded with new cabinets, stainless appliances and gorgeous granite; and with contem... 05/19/2010

Would you pick your North Barrington Realtor from a deck of cards? I doubt it. So are you going to pick a politician, judge, governor and whoever else from just looking at this? Aside from the fact that most village ordinances do not allow signs like this on the village easements, I have to wonder why Politicians think this is going to help them. This was just one corner of a busy junction in North Barrington, 2 more were just the same. The mere fact that these candidates advertise this way appalls me. What a mess! Over the last few weeks all I have listened to is candidates on TV tell me why I should not vote for the opposition. Or they tell me what rules and ordinances they are going to reverse because they did not think it was right. None of them have told me anything about what they... 01/21/2010
