The last 90 days

Right now against this time last year
In the last 90 days, 74 homes sold in Winnetka at a median of $795,000. In the same 90 days a year earlier, 57 sold at a median of $851,500.
29.8% more homes closed this time around. Same season, same city, and the middle of the market is lower than it was. That is a real move, not a seasonal dip, because both windows cover the same months of the year. In a market like this, the first two weeks of a listing carry more weight than they did a year ago. A home priced right from day one still finds its buyer. One that is not sits, and sitting is what a soft market punishes.
The past 12 months
The lowest sale closed at $225,000. The highest closed at $1,335,000. Winnetka is not one market. Homes at the bottom of that range and homes at the top are priced by completely different rules, and the citywide number sits somewhere in between.
How that compares to the year before
In the 12 months before this one, 251 homes sold in Winnetka at a median of $840,000.
In the last 12 months, about the same number of homes changed hands, and the median price went down 1.2%.
Price per square foot moved the same way. It went from $517 to $492, down 4.9%.
A move that small is not the market repricing itself. It can come from which homes happened to sell. Read it as flat and look at your own street instead.
Either way, the citywide number is not your number. Your street, your lot, and the condition of your house move your price more than an area median does. If you want the number for your address instead of a whole city, have your home run against these same closed sales.

Homes in Winnetka sold for a median of $492 per square foot over the past 12 months. That is across 251 sales where the square footage was recorded.
Price per square foot is a rough tool. A 2,000 square foot house on a flat lot and a 2,000 square foot house with a view do not sell for the same number. Use it to sanity check a price. Do not use it to set one.
Which homes in Winnetka have buyers waiting
These are the 250 sales in the past 12 months where the bedroom count was recorded.
| Size | Sales | Share | Median price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | 23 | 9% | $495,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | 130 | 52% | $792,500 |
| 4 bedrooms | 80 | 32% | $902,500 |
| 5 or more bedrooms | 14 | 6% | $997,475 |
The deepest pool is 3 bedroom homes, at 130 sales in the last 12 months and a median of $792,500. If your home sits in that group, more buyers are competing for it, and a fair price tends to find them quickly. If it sits outside that group, the pool is thinner. That does not mean less money. It means the first two weeks matter more, because you are waiting on fewer people to walk through the door.

- Closed prices only. What a buyer actually paid. Never an automated estimate.
- Each home counted once. The MLS records a listing side and a buying side for the same sale. We count the house, not the paperwork.
- Thin numbers get left out. If a figure does not have enough sales behind it to mean anything, it is not on this page.
- The read follows the numbers. Every interpretation on this page is picked by what the figures came back as. When they favor buyers, the page says so.
