June 21, 2026 - 10:24

A Streator single-family home sold for $131,500, topping the list of the most affordable residential property transactions in La Salle County during the week of June 8. The property, located in the heart of the small city, offered buyers a chance to enter the market at a price point well below the county's median home value.

Other notable deals included a three-bedroom ranch house in Ottawa that changed hands for $145,000. The home, situated on a quiet street near local parks, was listed as a fixer-upper but attracted multiple offers due to its solid foundation and large lot. In Peru, a two-bedroom bungalow sold for just under $120,000, making it one of the cheapest options for first-time buyers in the area.

Real estate agents in the region noted that while interest rates remained a concern for some buyers, these lower-priced properties were drawing significant attention. Many of the homes sold during this period were older structures that required cosmetic updates, appealing to investors and handy homeowners looking to build equity.

The week's sales also included a small ranch home in Mendota that went for $137,000 and a townhouse in La Salle priced at $128,500. These transactions highlight a continuing trend of affordable housing options in the county's smaller communities, where prices often lag behind the national average. For budget-conscious buyers, these deals represent some of the best value available in the current market.
