How often Highland Park sellers help with closing costs.
Money from the seller toward the buyer's costs often moves before asking prices do, which makes it one of the earliest signs a market is turning.
About as many sellers are contributing as two years ago. In Highland Park, 7% of homes sold in the last twelve months came with money from the seller toward the buyer's costs. The typical amount was $6,000, about 0.3% of the sale price.
Share of closed sales where the seller contributed toward the buyer's closing costs, with the typical contribution when one was given. Both the median and the average are taken over the same cleaned set. Based on 95 of the 95 sales that closed in the last twelve months. The rest closed before the MLS recorded this field, and are excluded rather than counted as zero, and 1 entries above 10% of the sale price were dropped as data-entry errors.

Highland Park sales grouped by the elementary school a home is zoned to, which is the boundary most families actually shop against. These zones cover 99% of everything that sold here. Only zones with at least a dozen sales are shown, so every figure rests on real volume. The price column follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page. School assignment comes from the listing record at the time of sale; boundaries change, so confirm current zoning with the district before relying on it.
