HELLO FALL!
As the seasons turn and the crispness of fall sets in, we’re reminded why life on the North Shore feels so special. Autumn brings not only vibrant colors and cooler evenings but also an opportunity to reflect on our community and all it has to offer. In this edition of our newsletter, we’re excited to share both local stories and a fresh look at the real estate market shaping Wilmette and the surrounding area. One highlight we’re thrilled to showcase is the Wilmette Historical Museum, a true neighborhood treasure. The museum preserves and celebrates the history of our community, and its current exhibits are especially engaging. The centerpiece explores the story of the Ouilmette family, whose legacy shaped the founding of Wilmette. Alongside it, visitors can enjoy a lively exhibit on women’s and girls’ sports dating back to the turn of the century, as well as regularly rotating displays that keep the museum fresh and relevant. Our interview with Director Rachel Ramirez offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the museum continues to connect us to our shared past while inspiring future generations.
On the real estate front, the fall market is showing some interesting shifts. We’ve seen increased inventory compared to last year, giving buyers more options, while higher interest rates have tempered competition. This dynamic is creating a window of opportunity for those considering a move. At the same time, sellers continue to benefit from strong demand for well-maintained homes in desirable neighborhoods. In this newsletter, you’ll find an overview of recent sales in our area as well as insights into broader market trends that may help inform your next steps. As always, our goal is to keep you informed— not only about market activity but also about the wonderful community we’re fortunate to call home. We hope you enjoy this edition of the newsletter and, most importantly, know that we’re here as a trusted local resource for all your real estate needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of help, whether you’re planning a move, weighing options, or simply curious about what’s happening in the market. Lydia & Jane
