Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Peru is relatively tight in this rolling three-month view, with about 50 active listings and 2.4 months of supply. Compared with a year ago, supply has expanded noticeably from around 1.9 months, giving buyers a bit more to choose from even as active listings are roughly flat. Contract activity is steady, with 28 homes sold and 32 pending, only slightly below last year’s levels.
Prices have pushed higher over the past year despite the modest cooling in sales counts. The typical home value over the latest three months is about $210,400, up more than 14 percent from the same period a year ago, while the median list price has climbed roughly 15 percent. Sellers are still achieving strong results, with an average sale-to-list ratio above 98 percent and just over one in five homes closing above the asking price.
Time on market has lengthened compared with last year, rising from a median of 44 days to 47 days in this rolling period, even though it has shortened significantly since early 2026. This mix of rising prices, slightly slower sales, and more inventory than last year aligns with Peru’s current designation as a seller’s market. Anyone planning to buy or sell in Peru can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands these trends and can help buyers compete and sellers price strategically.
Peru offers residents a welcoming community with historic charm, plentiful parks and recreation, engaging local events, and convenient access to shops and services.
Peru offers a distinct mix of small city convenience and river valley scenery that sets it apart from nearby La Salle and Spring Valley. Residents value familiar faces, locally owned businesses, and easy access to larger regional hubs without giving up a close community feel.
Life in Peru centers on the Illinois River and outdoor recreation. Families gather at Baker Lake Park for walking paths, fishing, and playgrounds, while Veterans Memorial Park hosts seasonal events and ballgames. Shoppers appreciate the retail options along Route 251 and in the mall corridor, balanced by long‑time local favorites and dining spots around downtown. The city library, Peru Public Library, serves as a community anchor with programs for all ages.
Families are drawn to the Peru Elementary School District 124 and other nearby districts, as well as convenient connections to Ottawa and Princeton via I‑80 and I‑39. Seasonal festivals, youth sports, and service clubs add to a sense of belonging that long‑time residents and newcomers often mention.
In Peru, the real estate market can move quickly, with well‑located homes and properties near amenities seeing strong interest. Whether you are preparing to list your home or hoping to buy before the next school year, the right timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands Peru’s neighborhoods and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.

“Kim Wirtz from Wirtz reality did an amazing job marketing my house in Lockport. It pretty much sold in one day! Thank you Kim for your expertise in the area. I would and will recommend you to everyone I know.”
“I had a great experience working with Yazen! He was professional, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire process. He made everything easy to understand, answered all my questions, and made sure everything went smoothly. I truly appreciated his patience, honesty, and dedication. I would definitely recommend Yazen to anyone looking for a reliable real estate professional. Thank you for helping us find a home !”
“Ed and his team were true professionals. He made home buying very easy. His knowledge of the area and house construction took some fear out of the homebuying process. We will use and recommend Ed and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for making our homebuying less stressful Ed and Jenn.”
“I highly recommend working with Cesar. One of the things I liked best about working with him was that he really seemed to have my best interests at heart. This man will be pulling out his phone light checking basement corners for any signs of mold or water and checking above every stove to see if there’s a proper vent or not. He noticed many things on walk throughs that my parents and I may have just breezed right past and he makes sure to point out the things he notices, good or bad. They say never trust a sales person but idk, I think Cesar’s just in it for the love of the game at this point. I dragged this man to a LOT of houses and he never once rushed me. He was very insistent that we need to find the right fit for me and that I not go past the amount of money I was comfortable with. This was my first time buying a home so I had about 80,000 questions and he was always happy to talk through any questions or concerns. He’s a fun guy to work with as well. In these trying times you need a sense of humor or the home buying process will be miserable. All in all I would definitely recommend working with him.”
“I have worked with Barb for years and she was so patient and understanding to my situation and was amazing with communication.”
“Katie is very knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She worked very diligently with me to find an apartment/condo to rent! She was able to give me recommendations that I would not have found or considered on my own. I could not have asked for a better agent to work with! I have lived in a house for 30 years and really had no idea what to look for when choosing and apartment or condo. She helped me find the perfect new home, a lovely condo for rent!! Katie stayed on top of everything from setting up appointments to following through with my new landlady. She is intelligent, hardworking sweet and thoughtful. I highly recommend her to anyone renting or buying!!”
“Rosemarie was extremely helpful in the process of buying our home! She is very knowledgeable about so many different aspects of the buying process and answered all of our many questions. She is connected with so many different resources and connected us with both our lawyer and home inspector that she knew and trusted. We had a lovely experience with her when we purchased our home in 2024 and couldn’t be more grateful for all of her help!”
“It was a pleasure working with Emily. She went above and beyond and very knowledgeable with any questions i may have had. She was always available late nights and weekends. I would highly recommend Emily.”
“We had such a great experience working with Victoria and Sam! They were always quick to respond whenever we sent a home we were interested in or had questions. They were willing to go on as many tours as it took to help us find the right fit and were honest about steering us away from homes with structural concerns. It was clear they genuinely had our best interests at heart and wanted us to find a home we’d love. They’re also both funny and easy to get along with, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“Working with Aaron was a wonderful experience from day one. From start to finish, the level of communication was top-tier—I was always kept in the loop and never had to wonder what the next step was. He was incredibly proactive and made sure we were completely prepared for every milestone, inspection, and deadline long before it arrived. The entire buying and selling process felt smooth and organized. Thank you, Aaron!”
“Carolyn is an exceptional realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable of the areas in which she operates, she is always prepared, and works extremely hard on behalf of her clients. More importantly, she values the relationships she creates, and will go above and beyond for you as a buyer or a seller in any situation. Her marketing plan and positioning strategy allowed us to sell a very unique home in our market quickly and for a price we were extremely happy with. She leaves no stone unturned at any step in the process and will do anything to ensure her clients have a terrific experience. I can't possibly recommend her highly enough, 5 stars isn't enough!”
“We are so incredibly grateful to have had Bryce Fuller with The Fuller Force Team help us find our first home! From the very beginning, Bryce made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel so much easier and more exciting. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely listened to what we were looking for. He never made us feel pressured and always took the time to answer our questions, explain things, and make sure we felt comfortable with every decision along the way. It was clear from the start that he truly cared about finding the right home for us and not just making a sale. Buying our first home is such a huge milestone for us, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to experience it with. Bryce went above and beyond throughout the entire process, and we are so thankful for all of his hard work, guidance, and support. We absolutely love our new home and are so excited for this next chapter of our lives. We would recommend Bryce and The Fuller Force Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!”

Throughout each transaction, the team was consistently efficient, friendly, and professional. I was kept well informed at every stage of the process, and everything was explained clearly and thoroughly. Any questions I had were addressed promptly, and I always felt that my needs and concerns were given careful attention. I would highly recommend Andrew and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Their professionalism, communication, and commitment to providing excellent service made each experience a very positive one.”

Katie communicated fast in minutes via text or call. A huge selling point for me. Katie is professional, positive, upbeat, kind, charismatic with a contagious genuine smile. Katie follows up post home sale quickly too while her personal investment is professional meeting all our needs pre and post buying! Katie alleviated my anxiety with a positive interpersonal approach which I so appreciated! My family connected easy and well with open communication! Katie demonstrated always a kind professional approach to buying my home in Naperville as this was my 7th home bought so I was a veteran too. Katie is smart and well deserved! Katie will be selling my other home too! We love you Katie Doyle! Thank you! Barbie C. Erika W. Skylar W.”

“Frank was professional and timely. He kept us in the loop of any offers and issues. We have worked with him for 3 house sales and 2 house purchases. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“She was super nice and very attentive of my needs. She was available 24/7. She helped me so much. She would explain everything in detail and was very patient with me. Overall, she was the best. I would 100% suggest her to my friends and families.”
“Angie and Meggan were outstanding. While I found my situation challenging, they handled it it with such ease and professionalism! My husband got a job opportunity out of state and he had to relocate ahead of me. We had been in our home for nearly 20 years and were completely unprepared to move. To complicate things further it was October and I had surgeries scheduled. Well, Angie and Meggan were patient, understanding and so very helpful throughout the entire process. They gave me guidance on what to focus on, resources to use and onsite support when I couldn’t be there. They were just phenomenal! My house sold in 9 days with their expertise!”
“Heather was amazing to work with on my recent condo purchase! With her help I was able to meet my needs and deadline to purchase the condo! She is also incredibly helpful in connecting buyers with great people/companies that make the process easy.”
