About Barrington's Barrington Hills

The first chart is showing the marketing times for home sales in Barrington Hills for 2009 to date. With only 21 sales to date this iot is difficult to reach any real conclusions about market trends in Barrington Hills alone.



The next chart reveals the sales price to asking price percentage. Again it is difficult to see trends with so few sales in 9 months. Barrington Hills currently has 114 active real estate listings with many older homes available at the lower end of the pricing, and if you have $2 and half million or more to spend there is a choice of 34 homes to choose from with prices up to $17 million.

First let's describe a luxury home in Barrington. The upper quartile of homes in Barrington has a median price as of August 21st 2009 of $1,750,000. So let's say that luxury homes are going to be at or above this price level. Luxury homes in Barrington are more likely to be located in South Barrington, Barrington Hills or Wynstone North Barrington. With prices at this range these homes are going to have very nicely appointed homes with features and benefits not available at the median price level. Examples will be swimming pools, indoor sports courts, equestrian facilities on site, decorative landscaping with ponds, high end finishes through-out the homes, bridle staircases, etc.



Buyers of luxury homes are likely to be coming in from out of town. Statistically they are going to be either high level management of companies, or CEO's of their own companies. You might find they want to leave behind the crazy worl of downtown Chicago once the day is finished and find somewhere more peaceful to spend their personal time and weekends. Barrington fits the bill for all of these types of buyers. So how do I advertise to them. Aside from listing your home in the MLS and advertising it on my web site, an important couple of online places are the Dupont Registry and New York Tomes online. With most buyers doing their research online, buyers looking for luxury homes will first turn to places they know will have only luxury homes. They will also turn to luxury property web sites and your home should be advertised there as well.

So when selling your luxury home, make sure it gets the right level of exposure both locally and nationally, even internationally.
