Information and statistics on the latest trends in the LaSalle County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
LaSalle County currently leans toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge reading of 33 and months of supply at 3.3, just slightly above the state’s 3 months. Inventory has expanded compared with last year, as active listings are up about 15 percent year over year to 499, giving buyers more options than they had in the past.
Price trends show a mixed picture, with the typical home value down sharply from June but only a few percent lower than a year ago, while the median list price is up modestly year over year. Homes are still moving at a reasonable pace, with a median of 45 days on market and roughly 27 percent of properties selling above list price, indicating that well-priced homes can still attract strong interest.
Underlying activity remains solid, as homes sold have risen almost 9 percent over the past year and new listings have jumped more than 26 percent. With LaSalle County prices well below the statewide median of about $339,000, both budget-minded buyers and value-focused sellers have reasons to engage this season, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an experienced local agent who understands these conditions.
LaSalle County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, thriving local businesses, and strong community ties, all within reach of good schools and essential services.
LaSalle County sits along the Illinois River, balancing small city convenience with wide open rural space. Centered around Ottawa and Peru, it offers practical access to Chicago and Peoria via I 80 and I 39, along with Amtrak service from nearby Mendota for regional commuting.
Daily life here is oriented around usable amenities. Residents enjoy expansive green space at Starved Rock State Park and Matthiessen State Park, both known for hiking, waterfalls, and river views that feel far from city congestion. In town, Ottawa’s historic downtown features local dining such as The Lone Buffalo by Tangled Roots Brewing Company and access to the Reddick Mansion for community events and tours.
Families appreciate solid school options like Ottawa Township High School and library systems including the Peru Public Library that support students and lifelong learners. Recreation is straightforward and affordable, from youth sports at Illinois Valley YMCA to trail networks along the riverfront and at Buffalo Rock State Park.
Whether you are relocating from Chicago or moving from nearby Grundy County or Kendall County, each community in LaSalle County offers its own blend of neighborhoods and price points.
