“Selling a house can be stressful for the owners hoping to sell their house. Especially when things don't go as planned. Unfortunately, the sale of my house hit many unplanned speedbumps. Thankfully, I hired Kim Wirtz to be my realtor. Kim not only did a great job of finding solutions to unforseen adversity, but she did so with a calm and positive attitude. Kim's proffesionalism, honesty, and problem solving skills were integral in the selling of my house. I highly recommend Kim Wirtz as a realtor who can be trusted to get the job done even if it means overcoming adversity. Thank you Kim!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year over year, Marshall County home values have climbed, with the typical home value up about 12 percent through August. In contrast, the median list price is down more than 20 percent from a year ago, suggesting sellers may be pricing more conservatively. Inventory has edged higher, with active listings up around 7 percent compared with last August.
Looking at the latest monthly snapshot, August shows 15 homes sold and 22 new listings, both higher than a month earlier. Pending sales have surged, rising more than 170 percent from last year, while months of supply has inched up to 2.5, still suggesting conditions lean toward sellers but with a bit more breathing room. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market at 66, and only about 7 percent of properties are closing above list price.
Compared with Illinois overall, Marshall County remains more affordable, with typical home values well below the state median of roughly $329,000, even as local prices have grown faster than the statewide gain of just over 4 percent. Agent Pronto can connect buyers who want to take advantage of lower prices and sellers working to position their homes effectively with a Marshall County real estate agent who understands these trends.
Learn more about what Marshall County has to offer.
Marshall County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, strong community spirit, plentiful outdoor recreation, and solid opportunities for families and local businesses to thrive.
Marshall County immediately feels different from larger neighbors like Peoria or LaSalle County. Life moves at a more relaxed pace, yet you are close enough to commute for work or college while coming home to open sky, river views, and familiar faces.
The Illinois River shapes daily life here, from boating at Lacon Marina to fishing and birdwatching along Marshall State Fish and Wildlife Area. Towns such as Lacon and Henry offer classic main streets, local diners, and practical everyday services without long drives. Families appreciate the scale of the local schools, including Henry-Senachwine High School and Midland CUSD 7, where it is easy to know your teachers, coaches, and neighbors.
Outdoor time is part of the routine here, whether you are exploring Sawmill Lake, enjoying youth sports in Toluca, or heading into Peoria for a show and dinner. Housing ranges from long-held farmsteads and riverfront homes to in-town properties close to schools, churches, and the Lacon public library.
Because inventory can be limited and buyer demand changes with the seasons, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are getting your home ready to list or hoping to move into the area with confidence, Agent Pronto connects you with a Marshall County real estate agent who understands both the market and the community, helping buyers and sellers make the most of their next step.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Steve Goodman and the experience we’ve had working with him over the past 10 years. Steve was my realtor when I purchased my very first condo, and 10 years later, he was right there with us as we sold that condo and purchased what we hope will be our forever home. Having the opportunity to work with the same realtor through such an important chapter of our lives speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in him. What sets Steve apart is that he genuinely puts his clients’ best interests first. He is never pushy or focused on simply making a sale. Instead, he takes the time to listen, answer every question, offer honest advice, and make sure you feel comfortable with every decision. He is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile.”

“Was impressed from the beginning when the owner answered the phone and made an appointment within a day or two to come out to the property. When we decided to put the house on the market, they were extremely professional And answered all our questions. The photographer came out promptly, and took amazing pictures of the property. It was listed the next day,and our house sold in less than a week. Andrew McCatty was our broker. He could not have been more knowledgeable or professional. Any questions that we had, Andrew either answered the phone or got back to us very quickly. Highly recommend Andrew and Century 21 Circle.

“Catherine Terpstra made herself available to us in our search for a house as we were moving from out of state back to IL. As soon as we contacted her, it felt like she dropped everything "just for us". (We know she was attending to other clinets, as well!) She was very efficient in setting up houses for us to tour, within and without our pricing perameters. She "heard us" in regard to the "non-negotiables" we had for a house for which we were looking. She printed out pertinent infomration on each place for us. We were in a time-crunch, as we had come from out of state to search for a place to live. She was able to help us find a very nice new home. We are very thankful to her for her understanding and expertise in real estate and in the current housing market.”
