If you’re selling
Prices are up on both property types, which is good news for owners. In September, detached homes sold for 98.5% of their original list price on average and took about 36 days to sell, so pricing from today’s comparable sales matters more than last year’s. I’ll show you exactly what that looks like for your home.
If you’re buying
You have more to choose from than a year ago. At the end of September there were 917 detached homes and 607 attached homes for sale in DuPage County, up 12.1% and 18.6% from last year. Prices are still rising, so having a clear plan before you start touring helps.
