Real Estate and More in Hinsdale and Chicago's Western Suburbs

Archive for the ‘Hinsdale Homes For Sale’ Category

Ending 2010 and moving on to 2011 here is a report on the past 6 months activity and current listings in Hinsdale.  Nothing farther is even relevant today.

As you will note the “sold” properties had shorter market times and sold for above 90% of list price.  This is not a coincidence.  These properties were priced “to sell”.

Moving into the new year, predictions are that interest rates will continue to rise to the 6% level.  This automatically reduces the buying pool making it even more important to price your home realistically.

Homes in Hinsdale by Famed Achitect Harold Zook

One of the great things about my job of being a Hinsdale Realtor® is getting to go into and sell some pretty amazing homes in the area.

I have always been fascinated by the work of Harold Zook. Architect Zook built several homes in the Hinsdale area which carry his “signature” spider web designs and chevron patterns incorporated into the home.  He was to Hinsdale what Frank Lloyd Wright was to Oak Park an artist, not just an architect.

Probably the most recognizable work of Zook’s is Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge in Hinsdale, IL. Fifty two 52 acres of woodland beauty create a setting year-round for residents and non-residents to hold private and corporate events.  Built by Harold Zook in 1927 the English style building was dedicated as a retreat for women employed at International Harvester.

Architect Zook built several homes in the Hinsdale area which carry his “signature” spider web designs and chevron patterns incorporated into the home. I have had the pleasure to view the inside of several of them. In fact there is currently one on the market now. Harold Zook designed home for sale.  If you are interested in purchasing a home in the Hinsdale area please give me a call at 312-933-0818 or contact me through my website.
