“"Working with Kim Wirtz was such a great experience! She made the whole process easy and really took the time to listen to what we needed. Kim was always available to annswer questions and guided us every step of the way . I couldn't have asked for a better realtor"”
“Vicky was great to work with. She was easily accessible, knowledgeable and smart. She priced the house correctly and got us a full price offer twice. I would strongly recommend Vicky for you future realtor needs.”
“Heather was a dream to work with in our home buying journey. She was very responsive, patient, and understanding of all of our needs when it came to what we wanted in a home. Her great personality and good sense of humor made her a pleasure to be around. Her knowledge and recommendations made our process smooth and painless. My wife and I highly recommend considering Heather all of your real estate needs.”
“We live in Florida and were wanting a second home in the Plainfield, Illinois area. We were not seeing too many places that were available. She showed us a few places in January online but they didn't work out for us. Since she knew what we were looking for, a condo went on the market that she thought we would be interested in. We happened to be in the Chicago area in March so we investigated the condo and sure enough we liked it and made an offer, and subsequently purchased. We were lucky that she remembered what we were looking for, and are so grateful to her for that, We also appreciated that she was not high pressure and that would have been an immediate turnoff for us. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and we would recommend her highly. Thanks again Kathy!”
“Kathi was amazing! She kept us informed with every step, and answered every question we had thoroughly. She also saved our bacon a couple times when we weren't sure about something. She's very professional, kind, and attentive”
“Working with Cathy truly was a blessing and a prayer answered. From day one, Cathy was on top of EVERYTHING. She made the sale of our home, as well as the buying of our new home, such a wonderful experience. Even though we ran into some hiccups, which were out of our hands, Cathy handled it all for us. From her marketing, to her overall knowledge of buying and selling, Cathy was on top of everything. I'm so thankful and grateful to have had her on this journey, by our side. I know I will recommend her time and time again, to all our family and friends.”
“Tina Grzeca did a phenomenal job helping us remotely house hunt. She organized both virtual showings and quickly got physical showings scheduled when we were able to be in town. She was also exceptionally detail oriented, pointing out important considerations in the houses we toured and making sure they would meet our needs. We would highly recommend Tina Grzeca for both local and remote people looking for their next housing journey.”
“As mentioned in my previous post regarding the sale of my home, Gergana was my champion when helping us buy our new home. I never once felt pressured to make a sale in any way, and I did NOT feel like "just a number" to her. I felt like we were important, and our future was important - and that she was going to make whatever dreams we wanted come true. When we first walked through our new home, I was finding everything wrong but still felt like it was the one. Gergana was realistic about what things would cost to fix, the negotiations when it came time to bid, and more importantly held my hand through the whole process. We could not have done it without her - and truly she is the hardest-working realtor out there! Thank you Gergana!!”
“Very friendly and approachable person. Very easy to work with. Was really invested in the process and treated us with respect. I don't feel like just another client when working with her.”
“Dayana made herself available from our first contact until we settle into our new home. During the negotiation period, she kept us well informed to secure the bid. She is knowledgeable of local contractors to assist in home renovation and repairs.”
“Ann and her teams knowledge of the real estate market are second none.”
“Carmen was amazing! Very knowledgeable and patient. She always responds timely, regardless of the nature of the questions. Highly recommend!”
“Lynn was an absolute blessing to work with, she was on top of everything and helped us find the home we needed, couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. Completely satisfied with our purchase and couldn’t have done it with out the help of Lynn. I wish that everyone could have a chance to work with Lynn, she was quick to set up appointments and walk throughs, she was great with communication and I’m very happy to have had the opportunity to work with lynn If everyone that works with Keller Williams preferred is as great as Lynn then they are an outstanding company. An amazing experience to have worked with Lynn and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Larry was more than a Real Estate Agent. He was more like a Family Friend. I am truly blessed and grateful to have worked with him. My home is everything I imagined it would be.”
“The agent, Sarah Leonard, was the most efficient and helpful realtor we've ever had represent us. I highly recommend her team to anyone in the area. Thank you for the excellent referral.”
“The quicker the response the better, and Taylor was always there for me when I had questions I did not experience any issues with Taylor's work and she made everything easy for me, worked around my schedule, even gave me real advise about the neighborhoods I was searching in I was not pressured to do this survey in any way, and I feel she can be trusted handling my close friends and family's home purchase needs”
“Knowledgeable. Attentive. Very familiar with local market.”
“Christine Thompson and her team are a well oiled machine that will get your house sold.”
“Marta Bocska was wonderful! Always return calls answered any question and concerns I had. I called her because a good friend of mine said she was a good worker and he was so correct.... I would recommend Marta Bocska to many people, it's not often anymore to find a caring and wonderful person to work for you as she has and do a great job. I found the house but she took care of the rest for me. The care and concern she has as a person makes her that wonderful. I was honored to have her for my realtor. You r lucky to have her! Mary DePaul”
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Peru real estate market, updated for August 2025. *
The typical home value in Peru is projected to be $256,380 for the month of August. July’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $223,250—up 26.13% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $189,000 in LaSalle County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $193,500 in August.
Peru had 15 new listings and 13 listings that went under contract in July, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 15—up 7.14% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in August.
Of those 15 active listings, 13.33% reduced their price in the month of July. The median listing price for homes in Peru fell 6.94% from June to July, bringing the current median listing price to $167,500. Based on projected data for August, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In July 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 38 days, compared to 31 days in July 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be increasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this August.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Peru offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with accessible parks, charming local businesses, and a lively calendar of family-friendly events that make everyday life fulfilling.
Peru blends river-city grit with easygoing Midwest comfort, framed by the Illinois River and quick connections to I‑80 and I‑39. Weekdays are smooth for commuters headed to La Salle, Oglesby, or Ottawa, while evenings bring low-key strolls around Baker Lake, youth sports at local parks, and community events coordinated by the City of Peru. The retail and dining corridor along Route 251 offers national names and independent favorites, and the riverfront sets the scene for boating, birding, and sunset fishing.
Outdoor time here scales up fast. A short drive delivers sandstone canyons, waterfalls, and miles of trails at Starved Rock State Park, with Matthiessen’s bluff-top overlooks just beyond. Families appreciate that weekend adventure pairs with manageable weekdays—schools, shops, healthcare, and recreation are all close, so daily life stays efficient.
Education is a local point of pride. Peru Elementary School District 124 anchors early learning with engaging programs and modern facilities, while LaSalle-Peru Township High School offers robust academics, arts, and athletics that draw strong community support. The Peru Public Library fuels curiosity with makerspace programming, book clubs, and a busy calendar, and seasonal festivals bring neighbors together across generations.
Considering a move within the Illinois Valley or a fresh start along the river, Peru offers a practical cost of living, outdoor access that’s hard to beat, and a civic spirit that shows up for its schools and streets.
