What it means
Reading the Northbrook market
Northbrook is a split market. Homes are selling above list price on average, yet the typical home still takes about seven weeks. In other words, the right homes get bid up quickly and the rest wait. Which group a house lands in is mostly decided before it lists: 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.
