Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Princeton real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Princeton is projected to be $158,000 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $157,000—down 5.42% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $184,500 in Bureau County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $199,750 in February.
Princeton had 6 new listings and 6 listings that went under contract in January, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 19—up 11.76% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in February.
Of those 19 active listings, 21.05% reduced their price in the month of January. The median listing price for homes in Princeton grew 204.07% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $294,950. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 72 days, compared to 60 days in January 2025. 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 February.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Families appreciate strong local schools, including Princeton Elementary District 115 and Princeton High School District 500, plus enrichment through the Princeton Park District and a well-used public library. Healthcare is close at hand at OSF Saint Clare Medical Center, and getting around is straightforward via I‑80, US‑34, and reliable Amtrak service from the Princeton station to Chicago and Quincy. Weekend options span small-town festivals to bigger-box errands and dining in nearby Peru and La Salle, while the towpath, lakes, and prairie vistas keep cyclists, runners, and anglers busy in every season.
