The standard definition of a luxury estate in Lake and Cook County, IL. just changed, and it might have just added six figures of equity to your home.

Affluent buyers in the Chicago Suburbs are completely obsessing over a few very specific, high-end amenities right now. As you can see in this post, the elite tier of the market is actively bypassing standard luxury listings just to secure properties that feature these exact upgrades.
