North Shore Sales Start Strong in 2012
Wilmette Single Family Home Sales have started strong in 2012.
The North Shore real estate market for 2012 has started strong. The number of homes going under contract is up substantially over any of the past four years for the same time period. The mild winter has probably helped, but I think it does also point to an improving market. The strongest segment of the market is the lower end, which means median prices are not up. Nevertheless these strong under contract numbers are encouraging. Wilmette in particular has done very well so far. You have to go back to 2007 to find a similar number of homes going under contract by this time of year. Here are the numbers:
Number of Homes that went Under Contract: 1/1/12 to 2/22/12
