The Hinsdale market in brief
Climbing. Home prices in Hinsdale have climbed this year, led by homes above $800,000. Homes in the middle of the market are taking much longer to sell.
- Strong at the top: Above $800,000 there are more new homes than last year, and half sell within about three weeks.
- Slow in the middle: Between $400,000 and $800,000, half of homes now take about three months to sell.
- Few homes under $400,000: Too few homes sell here under $400,000 to read a trend. Most are condos.
