03 / Reading the numbers

How to read North Shore price figures

  • A median sale price counts the homes that sold that month. In a small village like Kenilworth a few sales move it a lot.
  • A typical home value is an estimate for every home in town, sold or not.
  • A median list price shows what sellers ask today, not what buyers pay.
  • Days on market counts from listing to contract, so price cuts and relistings change it.

What the Wilmette market means for you
