“I interviewed / researched several buy side realtors before listing my home. I was confident the home would sell quickly as I had spent an extensive amount of time and effort updating the home to current day standards including all finishings, landscape and hardscape. Complicating this sale was my desire to have the home ready for listing on the MLS when I was ready which, in this case, was off season during the winter. Kim worked with me, over several months, to take listing photos in advance and stay on top of local market trends such that I was able to list and sell the home within 1 week at what I believe was the appropriate closing price. Her estimate of final proceeds post sale was very accurate and for that reason I was able to research new homes to relocate to with a reliable purchase budget. Best of all, the listing-showing-closing process went off without a problem and no drama. Highly recommend Kim for anyone going forward.”

I had confidenance in Victoria that she knew what I was looking for and would not let me make the wrong decision. I would recommend Victoria.”

“Katherine Rubis was outstanding in dealing with my needs. I was in Japan and did the entire process remotely. This was my first home purchase and she was very knowledgeable and made it very easy. She had all the support professionals (lawyers, insurance, and banking contacts) to make the entire process smooth and seamless. I would definately use her again and recommend her to anyone, especially if you are a first time homebuyer.”

“Gergana was outstanding from start to finish. She was straightforward, never sugarcoating, and always on point with her suggestions. From the beginning, she came prepared with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. I was initially worried about listing the house in January, but thanks to Gergana’s expertise and guidance, we were under contract in less than three days, and we received more than our asking price. Her advice was spot-on, and we’re so glad we followed it. We couldn’t be happier with the results and the smooth experience. If we ever need to sell a house again in the future, Gergana will be our first call. Highly recommended!”

“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!

Peru real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Peru real estate market, updated for December 2025. *

The typical home value in Peru is projected to be $112,380 for the month of November. October’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $136,250—up 11.68% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $195,000 in LaSalle County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $192,000 in November.

Peru had 9 new listings and 10 listings that went under contract in October, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 20—up 17.65% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in November.

Of those 20 active listings, 30.0% reduced their price in the month of October. The median listing price for homes in Peru fell 1.06% from September to October, bringing the current median listing price to $178,000. Based on projected data for November, 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 October 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 27 days, compared to 3 days in October 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this November.

Learn more about what Peru has to offer.

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. When you’re ready to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can quickly introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows the market block by block.
