“Working alongside Kim to find our perfect home was exceptional! She really is the best at what she does. In a very challenging market, she strategically knew how to get us the home we truly wanted. I can not say enough good things about Kim and her team. She made a challenging process seem like a breeze. Her expertise and years of experience set her in a class of her own- no one compares!!! We would not have been able to do it without her!”
“My agent was Andrew McCatty. I found him very responsive to my needs, questions and problems. He was very knowledgeable in guiding me through the selling/buying process. I have already recommended him to an acquaintance. He was available for showings with short notice. I would definitely use him as my agent should I require that in the future.”
“I highly recommend Emir Vulic as a real estate agent. He is incredibly professional, kind, and truly cares about his clients. Emir always provided personalized attention, great market advice, and made sure every decision was in my best interest. He was responsive, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. I’m very grateful for his guidance and would not hesitate to work with him again.”
“Great to work with in all respects, from start to finish!”
“We would reccomend Steve Goodman to anyone looking to sell in today's market. He got our home sold during the slow holiday period when buyers also had several other options. His experience and knowledge definitely give him an edge as he guided us through the process. Thanks Steve!”
“What a pleasure working with this amazing professional. She was always available in a moments notice, made the buying and selling experience seamless, stress free, and enjoyable! I highly recommend her and will most certainly be using her again!”
“Working with Kim was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she demonstrated professionalism, market expertise, and genuine care for my family's needs. My home needed several upgrades before listing, and Kim went above and beyond by helping me find reliable contractors and even helping manage the process to ensure everything was done on time and within budget. Thanks to her hard work, guidance, and excellent staging, my home received an offer on the very first day it was shown! Selling and moving can be intimidating, but Kim was like a fairy god-mother: always accessible and full of calming advice. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Kimberly Thurm.”
“Working with Robert was a pleasure. He was very transparent, thorough, professional and down to Earth. He works with you, not just for you. He gives great advice when an issue arises. Should I ever have another property to sell he would be my first call.”
“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.”
“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.”
“John was very professional and very helpful in answering any questions we had in the sale of our home. Thank you John”
“Thank you Tina it was a pleasure working with you”
“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!”
“Paula helped us every step of the way when we purchased our first home. I would recommend her to everyone. She always made time to answer our questions and explain the process. She's simply the best!”
“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.”
“Rose was amazing to work with. She answered all of my questions promptly and was very attentive.”
“Antonio was always available for questions and always prompt in his replies. An ecellent experience.”
“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.”

The typical home value in Elgin is projected to be $360,000 for the month of January. December’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $345,000—up 10.93% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $380,000 in Kane County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $374,990 in January.
Elgin had 44 new listings and 56 listings that went under contract in December, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 150—down 33.63% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in January.
Of those 150 active listings, 14.67% reduced their price in the month of December. The median listing price for homes in Elgin grew 7.81% from November to December, bringing the current median listing price to $344,900. Based on projected data for January, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In December 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 60 days, compared to 65 days in December 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this January.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
