What it means
Reading the Northbrook market
Northbrook houses are selling for more than their original list price on average, and in about a month. Prices are up about 9% from last year while fewer homes sold, so the right house still draws competition. Which way a listing goes is mostly decided before it hits the market: price, condition and presentation.
At the top of the market, the buyer pool is smaller and more particular. Photography, staging and a clear story about the home matter more, not less.
