Is the Super Bowl depressing North Shore open houses?
2012-02-03 16:32:00 One might think there would be a normal complement of open houses for new listings this Super Bowl Sunday, given the lack of participation by the Bears and the Packers. One would be wrong. Redfin is the answer that I hear most often when I question North Shore buyers about the venues they search for... Read more »
Historical Photo of the Week: Lake Shore Drive, circa 1905
2012-01-25 17:26:00 Lincoln Park, 1905. Long before Lake Shore Drive was a bustling eight-lane expressway, it was just a wide unpaved path along the lake, where the wealthiest Chicagoans would go for an afternoon stroll or a scenic ride in their horse-drawn carriages. In fact, one of those affluent Chicagoans, the infamous Potter Palmer, convinced the city... Read more »

Making sense of North Shore market stats
2012-01-09 00:06:00 Over at her informative North Shore Views site Realtor Anne West just posted a look at 3-year market statistics for single-family homes in New Trier Township.

Jersey Shore: Season 4 Episode 3
2011-08-19 15:59:00 Last night was Jersday. Mike wants a threesome with two blonde twins, but Deena stole one of the girls, then Vinny stole her and then Deena stole her back, but then Deena realized she's straight and she let the girl go back to Deena's bed. Deena did almost hook up with a good looking Italian "lean cuisine," but the guys in the house were being jerks about it. Situation and Snooki hooking up came to light, and Snooki denies it. Snooki tells Ronnie that it's not the same without him and Sammi together and that they're meant to be. So he takes Sammi to a roof top beautiful romantic restaurant and the two get back together...yes, Ronnie and Sammi are dating again. This is the start of a lot of drama. Vinny even talks about how their relationship makes HIM want to kill himself: Mike's twins are stalkers, they call call call and when Mike never answers Ronnie pretends to be Mike and brings them over. Pigeons in Florence are crazy, because they just randomly attack ins...
Jersey Shore: Season 4 Episode 2
2011-08-12 16:36:00 Last night was Jersday night, and now follows a review of the episode. Jersey Shore cast in Florence, Italy has been quite entertaining. There were many interesting things that went on in last night's episode. So there are a few key moments that are worth mentioning (not in order of sequence in show): 1) At the very end of the episode Sammi is seen whispering into Ron's ear (as they both sit at a table and eat) that she wishes the two of them could go cuddle in bed. In a side commentary Ronnie says "F*** me in the A** with a spiked bat." The two fought a bit during the episode, but not as extreme as previous seasons. Ronnie was belligerently drunk and thought it was okay to talk about how he was bringing in some girl named Hannah. He told this to JWOWW, but JWOWW knew it was better not to tell Sammi. Drunk Sammi wanted to talk to Ronnie and followed him around the club asking him to be friends; Deena tries to squash that. Also, Sammi tells Ronny that she loves him and it looks ...
Caught in a Squall on Lake Shore Drive
2011-07-01 01:04:00 I was driving home tonight, to a sky out of an apocalyptic imagination, with darkness and heavy black above me and twilight over pink clouds to the north. Where the two met was a solid line, a clear demarcation between evening and night, but in the wrong parts of the sky. I had my camera with...
Remember when North Shore teardowns were hot?
2011-06-30 23:26:00 Six years ago builders seeking North Shore teardown lots were as common as flower-munching deer in Highland Park. Today I can find only 4 homes listed as teardown candidates on the North Shore, three in Glencoe and one in Winnetka. Listings for vacant land are also scarce and many of those listings have lingered on...
How much have home prices declined in your North Shore ZIP Code?
2011-06-29 02:15:00 The Wall Street Journal has a useful interactive map of home price declines - from peak levels - presented on a map by ZIP Code. The color-coding on the map instantly makes clear that there's been wide variability in price declines among Chicago's regions and ZIP Codes. That fact helps put the widely-watched Case-Shiller data in a more relevant and realistic perspective. If the data are accurate, North Shore suburbs have taken steep hits from peak pricing levels. The map and data are from Zillow....

Is this the finest lakefront property on the North Shore?
2011-06-17 03:54:00 Chicago's North Shore is speckled with spectacular lakefront mansions in idyllic multi-acre settings, a fact that instantly triggers skepticism when you encounter one, newly listed for $5.25M, that purports to be the "finest lakefront property on [the] North Shore." The 5-bedroom, 4 ½ bath, 1950s-era home at 581 Ingleside Park in Evanston is on a nearly 1-acre site with 180 feet of park-adjacent Lake Michigan frontage. The property also includes a 1-bedroom guest suite above a 3-car garage. Prudential Rubloff's Sally Mabadi has the listing. If this home is in your price range, check it out and report back on whether it merits its billing....

A North Shore rental update and a Wilmette pick
2011-06-04 00:05:00 The MLS-listed rental inventory of homes and condos ticked up slightly over the past week, from a 13-month low of 230 last week to 236 this week. Kenilworth, which had only 3 homes available last week now has 8. Wilmette availabilities increased from 14 to 19. We haven't seen any truly outstanding deals over the past several weeks, but there have been some solid ones. Our pick this week is a 4-bedroom, 2-bath, 3-car garage home in East Wilmette renting for $2,200 a month. It isn't often that you'll find a 4-bedroom in East Wilmette in that price range. The 1870s-vintage home, at 1064 Linden Ave, is a 5-minute walk from the Metra station in downtown Wilmette, a leisurely...

It's a landlord's market on the North Shore as rental inventory s
2011-05-27 19:50:00 The number of MLS-listed rental homes and condos in Chicago's North Shore communities fell to yet another new low this week, with only 230 units available, down from 254 one week ago. Forty-three new rentals were listed last week and remain on the market. This, together with the inventory reduction, reflects a very rapid rate of absorption for homes coming on the market. One that seems likely to rent quickly is the newly-listed 3-bedroom, 3 ½ bath split-level ranch at 1211 Crofton Ave in Highland Park's Bob-O-Link subdivision. The rent is listed at $2,495 a month. The home is within walking distance of downtown Highland Park, schools and the Metra station. The listing describes the 147 x 243 lot...

Coveting: Jess LC Lake Shore Navy Tote and Pouch
2011-05-04 17:30:00 Jess LC is one of my favorite Chicago-based jewelry companies {the owner, Jess, is also a University of Michigan grad - go blue!}, and so I was really geeked to get an email yesterday morning saying that Jess LC had expanded into handbags. Never one to say no to handbags, I immediately fell in love with this Jess LC Lake Shore Navy Tote and Pouch. Gorgeous, right? I love the navy cotton contrasting with the brown leather straps, and the gold embossed logo. I love that the pouch is included, and this pouch is special because it's lined in coral AND it includes slots for two credit cards. This bag is so perfect that I was intending on purchasing...
Beware of Patch's North Shore real estate guide
2011-05-02 09:18:00 Many of you will assume it's an entry in the Bulwer-Lytton contest, and never read past the opening paragraph of Deerfield Patch's North Shore Real Estate Guide: In 2006, the housing market flew too close to the sun. And like Icarus with his wings of feather and wax, a previously golden sector of the American economy plummeted to a bloody crash-landing. On the odd chance that you do make it past that lead, be advised that the article is a swamp of misinformation and an occasional foray into nonsense. One real estate agent contends that buyer purchasing power has declined by 40%, and that they "should feel empowered." Huh? The one thing buyers need to avoid taking away from...
A slim selection of new North Shore rentals
2011-04-20 17:35:00 There were only 27 homes, apartments and condos newly-listed for rent on the North Shore this past week in the Multiple Listing Service. More than half of those listings - 5 single-family homes and 10 apartments and condos - were in Evanston. There were no new rental listings in Kenilworth, Winnetka, Highwood or Highland Park, and only one in Lake Forest. Four new single-families were listed for rent in Glencoe this past week, bringing the current Glencoe inventory to its highest level - 19 homes - since we began tracking a year ago. None of the new listings struck us as a particularly attractive deal, so we'll skip making a "rental pick" this week, and simply suggest that if...
Jersey Shore Season 4 -SNUBBED IN ITALY!
2011-04-07 23:14:00 If I created a list of the least respective celebrities, the whole cast of Jersey Shore would most likely make top three (along with Heidi Montag and her douche of a husband). Yes, ofcourse I watch the show but doesn’t mean I like these people! You know its time to maybe re-evaluate your life when even your own “home country” snubs you. The MTV cast and crew are reportedly not being greeted with open arms by the country’s nightclubs and hotels. Online reports claim venues are hesitant to allow cameras inside their venues, due to the castmembers’ outrageous behavior in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The cast had plans to leave for Italy next week to begin taping, however due to contract issues (THEY WANT MORE $$$????), their plans have been reportedly POSTPONED. Seems like a good cover up to me! Probably can’t find a nightclub that is willing to take them in every night of the week… Maybe if they leave Deena at home, they might stand a sh...

North Shore homes are renting quickly
2011-03-31 04:04:00 The inventory of homes and condos available for rent as of today increased to 279 as of today, from 270 at this time last week. That small increase masks a much more important fact about the North Shore rental markt - homes are turning over rapidly. Forty-five of the current listings have come to market within the past 7 days, indicating that nearly one-sixth of available homes were either rented or withdrawn from the market during the past week. Some of the currently available homes - especially at the higher price ranges - have been on the market for months, but well-priced new listings are being snapped up nearly as fast as they come to market. I'm a sucker...
Does Dinah Shore week help keep LPGA Kraft Nabisco alive?
2011-03-29 19:27:00 Two of the largest party-driven events are converging in Palm Springs this week, the Kraft Nabisco Championship and The Dinah Shore Week, bringing women together for golf and a frolicking good time! Both are successful events but is it the legacy of golf or poolside hijinks which creates the hullabaloo? It is unclear which will be the bigger event and which will fuel the other. Celebrities like Johnny Bench, John O'Hurley, William Devane and Alice Cooper bring crowds and glamour to the Kraft Nabisco, an event formerly promoted by Dinah Shore, a tireless supporter and honorary member of the LPGA Hall of Fame.On the flip side, this first LPGA major of the year gains another distinction which probably helps it stay in the public eye, which is a good thing. Each year, right down the road in Palm Springs, the most popular lesbian party of the year takes place: Palm Springs Women's Weekend a.k.a. "Dinah Shore Weekend", which brings in a host of celebrities of its o...
Joy Behar Syndrome: A TV Epidemic Worse than Jersey Shore
2011-03-27 21:37:00 Joy Behar is not a political journalist. She is a comedienne, and a second-rate one at that. Behar is simply drawn to the power that Liberalism spouts. She represents all that I hate in Liberals: a Liberal who follows the pack and doesn't know how to form her own political ideals. What can you do to end the madness that is J. Behar!

Few new North Shore rentals at upper end
2011-03-23 15:46:00 The slate of new rental offerings on the North Shore was very thin this past week, with only 5 properties coming to market in the $5,000 and up range, and only one priced over $10,000. The paucity of new rentals in this price range is a sign that owners are hoping to sell rather than rent in the spring market. That highest-priced new listing this week is not new, however. The lakefront home at 1203 Whitebridge Hill Rd in Winnetka, had been off the market for a while and is now back, offered at $14,000 per month. The highest-priced rental on the North Shore is 77 Wentworth Ave in Glencoe, a historic property on the lakefront. The 9-bedroom home,...

Catholic Or Jersey Shore?
2011-03-12 15:00:00 When our god child made her First Holy Communion, my husband and I gave her a beautiful rosary. I thought it would look pretty around her neck for the professional pictures that were being taken, but when her mother brought her to the photographer, one of the teachers made her take it off. She was only allowed to hold it in her hand for the photographs. Her mom and I were not happy, but we decided this was not a prudent time to discuss the matter.I thought of this the other day as I was running around doing errands and I saw several people (men and women) wearing rosaries. I wanted to ask if they were Catholic and if they...
Wilmette saw 3 of top 10 highest-priced 2010 North Shore home sales
2011-02-23 19:47:00 North Shore Views just reported the 10 highest-priced sales on the North Shore during 2010. Three of them, surprisingly, were in Wilmette. Not a single one of the 40 highest-priced properties currently on the market in the North Shore suburbs is in Wilmette, which is one of the factors that make the 2010 results unexpected. In any given year Wilmette, unlike Lake Forest, Glencoe, Kenilworth or Winnetka, has very few homes for sale in the $3M and up range. The highest-priced Wilmette sale, was at 3 Canterbury Ct, on the lake just south of the Wilmette harbor. It sold for $4,750,000. In a very curious development, it was listed for sale for $4,825,000.just four months later, and is currently...
