A friend of mine found an unusual and charming website from the Wilmette Public Library's Local History Collection regarding Hubbard Woods. During the years 1912-1923, a local paper called the Lake Shore News published "brief notices of social activities in Hubbard Woods, Illinois." These little ...

UPDATED 2019 This is a question that I am often asked. I’ve done many market reports on various segments of our North Shore market and the numbers have always remained below the high year of 2008. 2012 was the low water mark for North Shore home prices and since then prices have been fairly stabl...

Buckthorn is an invasive plant that originated in Western Asia and Europe and was introduced to North America in the early 1800s as an ornamental shrub. It creates a major problem for the native species by forming dense stands that dominate ecosystems and displace native species. It is primarily ...

UPDATED 2019 I was recently driving east along Winnetka Ave in Northfield near Happ Road and saw such a cute sight. A family of swans: parents and 8 signets walking along the parkway. I stopped to film them and realized they were going to attempt to cross the street - fairly busy at that point. I...
Instead of preparing just a 6-month real estate report on the first half of 2017 vs. 2018, I decided to throw in statistics from 2007 into the mix. I'm often asked if Winnetka has returned to its pre-recession home prices. My answer is always "No" but there are some interesting take-aways from t...

UPDATED 2019 A while ago, I wrote a post about old MLS listings and the terms and words that we can't say anymore. In some cases, it's illegal per the Fair Housing Act and in other cases it's unsensitive or unnecessary. For my second round at pouring through old (mostly 1960s) MLS listings, I dis...
