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 hopped out t...

How is the real estate market doing so far in 2018? How are prices doing?  Remember that every subdivision and town is responding differently if and 'when' a home in the area goes on the market. Sellers are now pretty happy with prices or have decided that now is a good time to move.  Maybe you a...

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...

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 discovered a) a ...
