October 17, 2026 - 23:17

A single-family home in La Salle that sold for $144,000 tops the list of the best real estate deals in La Salle County in the past week. The property led a group of transactions that show continued activity across the county's residential market.

The La Salle sale drew attention for its combination of price and space, offering buyers a detached home at a relatively modest cost compared with surrounding communities. Other notable deals during the week included properties in Ottawa, Peru, and Streator, where sale prices ranged from the low $100,000s to just under $200,000.

Agents active in the area said well-maintained homes in established neighborhoods continue to attract steady interest, particularly those priced under $200,000. Inventory remains tighter than in previous years, which has kept competition healthy for move-in ready properties. Several listings that closed during the week had received multiple offers, according to local brokers.

The median sale price for the week's residential transactions landed in the mid $130,000s, roughly in line with recent county trends. Buyers included a mix of first-time purchasers and residents looking to downsize. Sales of smaller homes and properties needing cosmetic updates made up a large share of the activity.

County records show the La Salle property changed hands after fewer than 30 days on the market, reflecting the pace seen in several nearby towns. Additional closings are expected in the coming weeks as fall listings move through the pipeline.
