Over the past year, Ogle County’s typical home value has climbed about 41.14 percent to roughly $247,000, setting a strong backdrop for Hillcrest. Within that context, Hillcrest homes are currently valued around $244,000, putting them just under the wider county level but following the same upward direction.
In March 2026, Hillcrest sellers typically listed homes near $267,900, and properties spent a long 98 days on the market, more than doubling from the prior month. With only 1 new listing and 1 pending sale, conditions reflected a very small, slow-moving pool of transactions, and homes closed at about 96.1 percent of their list price.
Looking ahead to April 2026, the typical home value in Hillcrest is projected to reach about $291,000, while the median list price is expected to edge up to roughly $272,350.
