Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Central Peoria real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Homes in Central Peoria are moving at a steady clip, spending a typical 29 days on the market, the same as a year ago but about 13 percent faster than just a month earlier. That quicker pace is happening even as some other parts of Peoria see different dynamics, hinting that buyers here need to act decisively.
Home values in Central Peoria are trending lower, with a typical value of about $137,000, down 8.05 percent year over year and 4.2 percent month over month. By comparison, the broader city of Peoria shows a higher typical value of $145,900 and a much smaller 1.08 percent annual decline. List prices are edging up despite those softer values, with the median list price at $150,000 and projected to rise to about $152,550 next month.
Tight supply is a key factor, with only 30 homes on the market in March and inventory down 40 percent from the prior month and 47.37 percent from last year, and it is projected to shrink to just 20 homes. New listings have fallen 20.69 percent year over year, yet pending sales are slightly higher, up 0.69 percent, reinforcing Central Peoria’s seller’s market conditions. Roughly 19 percent of recent sales closed above asking, and homes are selling near list at an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.978. Whether buyers are trying to compete in this fast-moving market or sellers want to take advantage of strong demand, Agent Pronto can connect them with a local agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Working with Emir is always a pleasure. He was very helpful in coordinating work on our house for sale, working with vendors and providing valuable feedback on neccesary work vs. potential work items unlikely to generate return. We closed sale of house 3 weeks from time of first listing. I'd worked with Emir before and hope to do so again in the future.”
“Working with Kim Wirtz was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Selling a home can be stressful, but Kim made the process smooth, professional, and easy. Thanks to her expertise, market knowledge, and dedication, my home sold in just 7 days! Kim was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in getting the best outcome for me. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and she provided expert guidance on pricing, marketing, and negotiations. What stood out most was Kim’s exceptional customer service—she always answered questions quickly and made me feel like a priority. If you are looking for a hardworking, trustworthy real estate agent who delivers results, I highly recommend Kim Wirtz. I would absolutely work with her again!”

He truly went above and beyond to help me and I am so appreciative! Steve is indeed a "good man"!”
“After going through a very difficult experience before, meeting my realtor completely changed the way I felt about the home buying process. After the passing of my husband, I had to go through this process alone, and during such an emotional and overwhelming time, she brought me so much peace of mind and support. What truly makes her different is that she genuinely cares about her clients. She never made me feel like I was just another sale or transaction. She took the time to listen carefully to my needs, requirements, and concerns, and always made sure I felt heard and supported every step of the way. Her professionalism, patience, honesty, and dedication are something rare to find. She always had my best interest at heart and went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares, works with integrity, a”
“Becki from Laura Topp’s team was incredible in helping me purchase my first property, a brick 2-flat in Chicago’s highly competitive north and west side market. Inventory was extremely limited and we toured at least 20 properties throughout the process. Becki was consistently accommodating with her time, prepared detailed reports for every showing and approached each opportunity with a thoughtful strategy. She genuinely treated the search as if she were buying the property for herself. When we finally found the right building, Becki skillfully negotiated with the listing agent and played a major role in getting the deal done while still protecting my interests and keeping the transaction together. The listing agent even praised her professionalism and credited her with helping secure the deal. Throughout closing, she remained diligent, communicative and focused on making sure I understood every step of the process and felt protected as a buyer. I cannot recommend Becki and Laura Topp”
“Melissa Young was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable which was critical for me as a first-time home buyer. She helped me win my very first bid with a strong offer and guided me through challenges with the appraisal process. She sets the bar high and I am so happy with my beautiful first home in Chicago!”
“To be honest Ralph was the best part of my team. He's a good person and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't know half of what I know about buying a house Thanks Ralph”

“Great experience! Very attentive, honest, and dedicated. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!”
“We relocated from an area where we had lived our entire lives, and the prospect of moving to another state can often be quite challenging. However, our experience with Kimberly was exceptionally smooth and seamless. Her expertise, combined with the thoughtful and tailored feedback she provided based on our specific criteria, proved invaluable throughout the entire process. She conducted herself with the utmost professionalism while also making us feel genuinely supported, as though we were family. We would highly recommend her to any prospective buyers or sellers seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional.”
“Our house could be considered high end property in the neighborhood. Cinny worked hard to get it under the contract in a week and sold our house a little over a month. We are happy about the result. During the process, there were ups and downs which made us nervious. Cinny listened to our concerns and gave us professional advice.”
“Dayana is the realtor for the buyer looking to purchase in a seller's market. Her expertise was the key to our acquiring the property we now own. From showing us various properties, to continually checking in with us, to putting together a competitive and timely offer, to connecting us with a good attorney, to negotiating the terms of the contract, and otherwise guiding us through the process, Dayana was the best. Thank you Dayana!”
