“Kim sold my house in Ottawa very fast and at a great price and made the process much simpler than I thought it would be. She came and toured the home on a timeframe that worked for me, answered all of my questions, and had good communication throughout the sale, and before it was listed. I would highly recommend working with Kim!”
“Victoria was recommended by a family member. I lived out of state and needed someone I could trust. I viewed some homes while in town but eventually bought a house after a video walk through. I had confidenance in Victoria that she knew what I was looking for and would not let me make the wrong decision. I would recommend Victoria.”
“We had an excellent experience working with Meldina. She helped us sell our home and also guided us through purchasing our new one, and she handled everything with patience, professionalism, and confidence. Her communication was always clear, she answered every question, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and organized. Meldina truly goes above and beyond. She understands the market, she negotiates strongly on behalf of her clients, and she genuinely cares about what is best for your family. We always felt supported, informed, and treated with respect. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication. We highly recommend Meldina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is outstanding at what she does.”
“Dayana es muy profesional, conocedora del tema, honesta y excelente negociadora de los términos y del contrato para la compra de la casa. Nos sentimos muy complacidos y confiados durante todo el proceso. Definitivamente la recomendaría.”
“Kathryn went above and beyond. She worked the selling of the home while we were out of the country even. She was the perfect fit for us as an agent.”
“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”
“Barb provided exceptional service throughout my home-buying experience. She demonstrated professionalism, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. I am grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent.”
“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
“Juan helped us immensely in buying our first home and answered every question we had. Would 100% recommend.”
“Jeff held the fort down while I was away for 3 weeks, during which time we had repairs done and had the house professionally cleaned. He was totally trustworthy. I cannot think of a better real estate agent.”
“Heather was a dream to work with in our home buying journey. She was very responsive, patient, and understanding of all of our needs when it came to what we wanted in a home. Her great personality and good sense of humor made her a pleasure to be around. Her knowledge and recommendations made our process smooth and painless. My wife and I highly recommend considering Heather all of your real estate needs.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Erick when purchasing my new home. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and offered valuable insights into the housing market. Erick was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and responsive, answering all my questions and guiding me through every step of the process. The process of finding the perfect home can be overwhelming, but Erick made it seamless. He was always available to schedule viewings at my convenience, and when we found the right place, he worked tirelessly to ensure my offer was competitive and that all the paperwork was handled efficiently. Thanks to Erick, I now own a home that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and professional real estate agent.”
“I have worked with Kim for over 14 years. Kim helped me find my first rental property when I first moved to Illinois and when it was time to find something else, she helped me find the next one. when I decided it was time to buy she helped me find the perfect place. She has always been extremely helpful and has gone above and beyond. She was always available for my texts or my calls. Kim explained so many of the details of the entire process for me with all the new rules and regulations that have occurred overtime. She helped me to get the very best offer on my home. In fact, I had multiple offers of which to choose from. Kim was very helpful and I wish that she could help me in the state that I moved to, to help me find a new home. I'm sad to leave her behind in Illinois. I highly recommend Kim Thurm to anyone looking for a real estate broker. Kim is an excellent realtor and great to work with.”
“Rose was great! She patiently took the time to show me multiple properties. When we found the right one she was very helpful. I would most definitely recommend Rose to my friends and family.”
“Very friendly and approachable person. Very easy to work with. Was really invested in the process and treated us with respect. I don't feel like just another client when working with her.”
“I highly recommend William for Buying or Selling a home. He has helped many members of our family and is trusted like a friend.”
“I found a great agent! We were able to sell the property within three days after it was listed. It was a pleasure working with Diana Matichyn and her team. I would highly recommend her.”
“My agent Sergio was incredible and a great help to me through this process. I would recommend him to anyone!!!”

September’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $244,950—up 13.14% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $297,000 in DeKalb County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $290,530 in October.
DeKalb had 36 new listings and 34 listings that went under contract in September, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 69—up 6.15% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in October.

The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In September 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 48 days, compared to 48 days in September 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this October.

DeKalb offers residents a welcoming community, strong schools, a thriving downtown, abundant parks and recreation, and easy access to culture, dining, and outdoor activities.
DeKalb pairs college-town energy with deep agricultural roots, creating a community that feels innovative and grounded at once. Downtown streets hum with live music and marquee lights from the restored art deco Egyptian Theatre, while the stately Ellwood House Museum tells the story of barbed-wire ingenuity that put the city on the map. Seasonal traditions, including the late-summer DeKalb Corn Fest, fill the calendar with parades, concerts, and family activities. Locally owned cafés, brewpubs, and eateries cluster along Lincoln Highway, and a growing arts scene adds color to everyday life.
Education is a standout, anchored by Northern Illinois University, which powers research, brings Division I athletics, and offers cultural programming from lectures to performances. Families appreciate strong K–12 options in DeKalb CUSD 428, and lifelong learners make frequent use of the resources and events at the DeKalb Public Library. Huskie pride runs deep on game days at Huskie Stadium, where the community rallies under the lights.
Outdoors, the DeKalb Park District maintains trails, playgrounds, and athletic fields, from Hopkins Park’s splash of green to quiet riverfront paths. With swift access to I‑88, commuting and weekend getaways are simple, yet home feels close-knit, affordable, and full of momentum.
