Bureau County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Bureau County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Inventory in Bureau County is relatively lean, with 65 homes on the market and 34 new listings in March 2026, only a modest 3.03% increase in fresh listings over the past year. Pending sales reached 31 for the month, though that contract activity is down 13.89% year over year, signaling a slightly slower pace of deals.
Pricing is adjusting to this balance between supply and demand, with the typical home value at $147,225, down 5.82% from last year but jumping 33.24% month over month. At the same time, the median list price is $174,950 and has fallen 40.49% from the prior month, suggesting sellers may be pricing more aggressively to attract offers.
Homes are taking some time to move, sitting a median of 71 days on the market, which is still 47.92% longer than a year ago despite a recent month‑to‑month drop of 24.47%. With 4.6 months of supply, nearly 29.23% of listings seeing price drops, and only 7.14% of homes selling above list at an average sale‑to‑list ratio of about 0.93, conditions line up with a softer Seller's Market compared with the higher $314,900 typical value across Illinois. Whether buyers want to navigate these shifting prices or sellers hope to stand out among roughly 65 competing listings now and a projected 70 next month, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands Bureau County’s trends.

“After going through a very difficult experience before, meeting my realtor completely changed the way I felt about the home buying process. After the passing of my husband, I had to go through this process alone, and during such an emotional and overwhelming time, she brought me so much peace of mind and support. What truly makes her different is that she genuinely cares about her clients. She never made me feel like I was just another sale or transaction. She took the time to listen carefully to my needs, requirements, and concerns, and always made sure I felt heard and supported every step of the way. Her professionalism, patience, honesty, and dedication are something rare to find. She always had my best interest at heart and went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares, works with integrity, a”

“Becki from Laura Topp’s team was incredible in helping me purchase my first property, a brick 2-flat in Chicago’s highly competitive north and west side market. Inventory was extremely limited and we toured at least 20 properties throughout the process. Becki was consistently accommodating with her time, prepared detailed reports for every showing and approached each opportunity with a thoughtful strategy. She genuinely treated the search as if she were buying the property for herself. When we finally found the right building, Becki skillfully negotiated with the listing agent and played a major role in getting the deal done while still protecting my interests and keeping the transaction together. The listing agent even praised her professionalism and credited her with helping secure the deal. Throughout closing, she remained diligent, communicative and focused on making sure I understood every step of the process and felt protected as a buyer. I cannot recommend Becki and Laura Topp”

“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
