Pekin is currently in a clear seller’s market, reflected by a low 1.4 months of supply and very quick sales. Homes typically go under contract in just 8 days in this rolling three-month view, pointing to strong buyer demand relative to available inventory.
Over the past year, typical home values in Pekin are up nearly 20 percent, while the median list price has risen by about 10 percent, showing solid price growth from both the buyer and seller sides. At the same time, inventory has inched higher, with active listings up around 7 percent year over year, giving buyers slightly more options even as conditions still favor sellers.
Demand has picked up notably, with homes sold rising almost 24 percent and pending sales jumping more than 26 percent compared with a year ago. More than half of recent sales closed above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100 percent, underscoring how often buyers are bidding at or above list.

“Kim helped us sell our home, and I can’t recommend her enough. She answered my questions late on a Friday and even on a Sunday during a holiday weekend. She was always available when we needed her. In a market where every offer deserved a close look, she helped us sort through them and choose the best one. We’re grateful for her hard work and guidance.”
“Thank you for your time and availability. You're exactly the go getter and negotiator we was looking for.”

Any issues Donna was able to help us through . Donna does what it takes to finalize the sale . Highly recommend Donna as your realtor. Donna notifies of any changes immediately. Donna was always available to take my phone calls even when out of town.”
“Working with Anthony was an absolute game-changer for us as first-time home buyers. He knows the local market inside and out, he answered all of our (many) questions at any time of the day, and not only was he very professional and reliable, but we knew throughout the process that he genuinely cared about us and our satisfaction. Now we have our dream home! I'm so glad we had Anthony working with us throughout this process, and we highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“Renee treats customers professionally and at the same time as friends. She goes above and beyond what is required on all facits of the process.

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.”
