For What It's Worth

Something’s happening here...

What it is, ain’t exactly clear...

For what it’s worth, something is happening in the North Shore real estate market.

Since Labor day, there had been an unusually small number of new listings hitting the market on the North Shore, particularly in Winnetka and Wilmette. Sure, there is always a seasonal slowdown, but it was much more pronounced this year.

Since then, some properties have been sold...some that were “for sale” were rented and some listings expired and did not return to the market. Others were taken off the market for the holidays.

2012 began with the fewest active properties for sale in years....

great scenario for sellers!!!

Since the beginning of the year there has been a steady flow of new listings. Unlike the past few years, it seems that many of the new sellers are being realistic in their pricing and as a result, there have already been a lot of transactions....

great scenario for buyers!!!

Sure, there is pent up supply...

but there is also a whole lot of pent up demand.

What we are seeing the most of is pent up confidence

Stocks are at multi-year highs.
Unemployment seems to be easing down.
Distressed sales appear to be declining.

One new (not-distressed) listing came on the market last Friday and the listing agent reported that there were 19 showings over the weekend. It was under contract by Monday. Other listing agents reported six or more weekend showings for new listings at all price points including those over $2 million.

For what it’s worth, something is happening here....what it is ain’t exactly clear.

The American dream seems to be alive and well...but you better check back in a few weeks for an update.

Just a reminder to all you romantics out there that next Tuesday is Valentine's Day. If you're looking for a great dining experience for you and your sweetheart, here are a few select spots for celebrating Valentine's Day in Glenview that you might consider.

Wildfire
1300 Patriot Blvd.
Glenview
847-657-6363

For the past three years, Zagat has voted Wildfire the most popular restaurant in the Chicagoland area, so you know it's going to be great. Just for Valentine's dining, they're offering a special four-course dinner for two, which is available from February 11 through the 14th. Entrées will include such Wildfire favorites as New York strip, roasted prime rib, and cedar planked salmon. For those wanting to dine lite, soup and salad is always a great choice. If you just want something quick, there's everyone's favorite, pizza. Check the menu yourself. It's a good idea to call ahead for reservations at 847-657-6363.

Mitchell's Fish Market
2601 Navy Blvd.
Glenview
847-729-3663

If your Valentine loves fresh seafood, Mitchell's may be a great choice. If you're celebrating with the younger crowd this year (your kids), there's a kids' menu available, too. Dress is casual, parking is free, and you may think you've gotten lost and gone to the coast when you see how fresh the fish is!

Yard House
1880 Tower Drive
Glenview
847-729-9273

Shaggatini, anyone? Yes, if you go to the Yard House, that's one of their special Valentine's Day themed drinks, along with the Love Letter Sparkling Wine Cocktail. They're also offering, from February 11 through 14, a Valentine's Day menu with such choices as Kung Pao Calamari and Lobster Mac and Cheese. Yard House's biggest claim to fame, however, is their extensive selection of draft beer, available in the bar section or in the Keg Room. The Onion Ring Tower isn't a bad idea either!

There you have it. Three special places that can make your Valentine's Day special too. If you'd like to live in a community that offers such special places as these, you need look no further than Glenview. And to help you find your own special home, look no further than the Marla Schneider Team. Give us a call at 847-657-3790 or contact us online.

Read What Our Fans Are Saying About The Helen Oliveri Team

Helen came into our house after we had it listed with other brokers for over a year and she sold it. She was honest, sincere and very direct to the point on what needed to be done to our home sold in this market. She communicates very well and understands how hard the market is. She makes selling seem so easy and even though she does a whole lot of business, she always made us feel like we were her only client. Also, her staff was also terrific in that they were all attentive to the sale of our home. No matter who I spoke to, they all cared so much about me and my home. Also, I can't believe the amount of marketing Helen and her team does. From professional photography to fabulous brochures, my home looked like a million bucks. What a difference! I was so pleased to be treated like that and felt like my home was #1 in their eyes and in the general public eye. I can honestly say that Helen really surpassed our expectations of what a realtor should be. Getting sold in this market for 96% of asking in 33 days speaks for itself. We are very grateful we called Helen and thanks to all of you for a job well done.
